[A study] show[s] [that domestic cats] eat more than 2,000 species globally – including hundreds that are of conservation concern.
“Our study sheds light on the predatory habits of one of the world’s most successful and widely distributed invasive predators,” the researchers, led by Christopher Lepczyk from Auburn University in the US, wrote in the paper.
Idk, I only consider my cats to be housecats, if they stay indoors.
Once upon a time, a parakeet landed on the terrace… only to get promptly surrounded by 6 housecats. I managed to run out and shoo them away (not easy, had to actually push some with a broom), pick the parakeet and throw it out… but a few minutes later, it came back, and landed on the terrace again. This time the cats were faster, and got to it before I could.
Later I found out, that parakeets are an invasive species where I live, so… that turned out for the best? 😅
I appreciate the plot twist. 👍
As someone who adores parakeets (and has a few), just give them all to me. :)
Yeah fair. i’ll update it to domestic cats make things clearer.
