Recent research published in Nature Communications has illuminated the significant impact of cats on wildlife, revealing that cats prey on over 347 different threatened species, contributing to more than 60 extinctions. This extensive study, compiling over a century's worth of data, highlights the predatory nature of domestic and feral cats on a wide array of animals and insects, including species like Newell's shearwater, green sea turtles, and the little brown bat. These findings underscore the importance of responsible cat ownership, including keeping cats indoors, to mitigate their impact on biodiversity.
