"Researchers found the cats brought home just under a quarter of what they killed. They ate 30 percent and left 49 percent to rot.

For the study, 60 cat owners in the Athens, Ga., area attached to their pets’ collars tiny video cameras provided by National Geographic Society’s CritterCam program.

Lizards, snakes, and frogs made up 41 percent of the animals killed, while small mammals such as chipmunks and moles were 25 percent of the death toll. Insects and worms were another 20 percent, and birds 12 percent, the researchers said.

Although birds were not the felines’ most frequent prey, when you figure there are about 74 million house cats in the United States, they are doing serious damage to bird populations, said George Fenwick, president of the American Bird Conservancy.

“Cat predation is one of the reasons why one in three American birds species are in decline,” he told USA Today.

i don't really care too much about how many critters and vermin cats kill, but this wouldn't be a problem if cat owners didn't think it's OK to just let their pets roam around freely outside. Dog owners generally don't just let their dogs go anywhere they want.
