Cats Kill Billions Every Year

Cats Kill Billions Every Year By Elton Camp (Based on a study appearing in Nature Communications) You think your cat cuddly and sweet Others may not consider it so neat Even more than anyone might expect, On the birds, it’s a devastating effect Every year, it’s up to three billion they kill On the bird population, this puts a chill Over eighty-four million cats folks own More millions wild cats make birds gone Up to twenty billions mammals they slay Chipmunks head the list the experts say If your sweet kitty big enough could grow Then YOU might well be the next to go (I realize some may not like this, but consider googling the article and read it before you decide. Cats delight in tormenting their prey before finally killing.)

That is a truly disturbing movie. It's hard to see birds the same way again after having viewed it. It's ficion, but one the idea is planted, it can stick with you. Here, Kitty, Kitty! Elton

I really enjoyed this one! I have two indoor cats, so they only kill spiders - which is fine by me! Very well done :)

Keeping them inside is a good solution. I hear that New Zealand is attempting to eradicate cats in their entire country because of them killing other animals, but that could have unexpected results for their ecology. Elton
