    Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality

    I’m not sure what the solution is here.

    We should rethink our attachments to miniature tigers.

    And do what? Its not the pets that are doing the bulk of the killing.

      Please be serious. I read the source that I posted; you’re not being clever. Cats don’t magically show up from nowhere. Our culture around cats enables and feeds the feral population. If we didn’t keep cats as pets, and animal control treated them the same way they treat raccoons, then this problem would be dramatically reduced. Probably eliminated, but they might turn into an intractable urban pest.
