      And it will also reduce the number of bird species being brought to extinction by outdoor cats. Now to be fair, most of that preying is going on by feral cats, but that’s why you should also spay or neuter in case kitty escapes.

          Humans are doing that. Who do you think brought the cats there in the first place? Who do you think perpetuates the populations?
