But, apparently, it's a lean,mean killing machine. My neighbour's cat (not pictured here)manages to maim birds in our yard despite the presence of Mad Max, The Cat Killer. This puts us (us meaning Mr. Nag, I couldnt't kill anything) in the undesirable position of having to kill the poor creatures.
Pet cats that are allowed to roam free account for some 4 MILLION bird deaths EACH DAY in North America, or over 1 BILLION songbirds each year. This figure does not include the losses resulting from feral or wild populations of cats. Cats are efficient predators, and even capture some of the most secretive birds, such as Yellow Rails.
