Cats kill a staggering amount of song birds. Keep them indoors AND neuter them!
Scientific studies actually show that each year, cats kill hundreds of millions of migratory songbirds. In 1990, researchers estimated that “outdoor” house cats and feral cats were responsible for killing nearly 78 million small mammals and birds annually in the United Kingdom.
University of Wisconsin ornithologist, Dr. Santley Temple estimates that 20-150 million songbirds are killed each year by rural cats in Wisconsin alone.
Kudos to Simon. Have a new respect for him now.
Indoors is definitely safer for the cats themselves and for wildlife outside.
