      Europe has raptors too. Europe has species that fill the same niches… and absolutely will take a domestic cat if the opportunity present.

      This is why, for example cats like to hide in things like boxes and cat caves. it’s because they are not apex predators- they’re very skilled, don’t get me wrong. but they’re not apex.

        They may not be apex predators in that sense but theyre a lot like us in that theyve wiped out the 2nd most number of species in the modern era only losing 1st place to humans.
