“If we extrapolate the results of this study across the country and include feral cats, we find that cats are likely killing more than four billion animals [in America] per year, including at least 500 million birds".

Cats are assholes.

Actually, cats just do what they're supposed to do.

Big pile of willies, in fact.

Did you watch any of the videos? It's actually sort of entertaining viewing the world from the perspective of a cat.

Are we sure it's cats doing the killing? I've never seen a cat do anything remotely lethal. They're always fucking about on mini-surfboards or playing the piano or forcing themselves into impractically small boxes.
I'll bet they find the dead birds and bring them into the house for a laugh. The pictorial evidence would seem to back that up. They don't even kill the mice they do manage to catch.

My cats kill (that I see) at least one mouse a week. I'm all for it.
The first day we let Demi out of the house she brought us back a big gold fish. Felt a bit guilty about that but I appreciated the gesture.

- after they're killed yes, then hang them round my neckset

+1Cats killing little birds, lizards or vermin is certainly better than dogs going around attacking humans.

My point.problem with this is the cognitive dissonance of 'animal lovers'. I feel the same with vegans who own cats — it's that willfully ignorant blinkered outlook that seperates the substance of their belief from their immediate wants.
I actually really like cats, but I'd never own one because it's an artificial relationship that would merely satisfy my own desires over that of others, including the cat's.

So your point is that it's an artificially created relationship as opposed to there not being a relationship from the cats point of view further than getting shelter and food.... ?

Better than dogs who take a dump and then look up at you like, "well what are you waiting for, pick that shit up... bitch."

Cats (like other animals) kill other animals. It is, as detritus pointed, normal.
That is why people shout "you are an animal" to murderers and other things that kill.
Nobody gives a shit about frogs, and they kill plenty of bugs - fucking cruelty that is, aye?

If you own cats and are happy to have them decimate your local wildlife, then I have nothing to come at you with, Set. I can merely disagree with you.
If, on the other hand, you're an vocal friend and lover of all of God's creatures or a vegan who wouldn't dream of hurting a sentient being, yet have a curiously convenient blindspot where your fwuffy wittw fwend is, then I'm going to come at you with a spade then shit down your neck.

Cats have been our pets for thousands of years. Who's to say that if all cats were gone we wouldn't be overrun with mice, rats, bird, lizards etc..
You don't *honestly* and seriously believe that cats decimate the local wildlife, do you?

- If you're a vegan you might have reason to say "ew". Otherwise, consider how many more animals humans kill.CyBrainX
