Those bird deaths by cats are exaggerated. The math doesn't add up. Most cats live near human habitats and the birds that hang around human urban and suburban areas are not anywhere close to being endangered. Also, feral cats are nocturnal while most birds are daytime animals.

    They are not exaggerated. In my area I used to have a flock of tiny sparrows that would fill up entire hedges before the locals befriended like 7 cats. Now I never see sparrows here anymore.

    And who the hell cares they're not endangered?

    that's weird. i live in an area with several outdoor cats, including my own, and have seen more birds here than i did 6 years ago and all the local ecologists document way more bird traffic than there was years ago due to our warming climate... weird.
