Dear Outdoor Cat Owners/Feral Cat Supporters, Does the photo above sicken you? I’ve rescued field mice to horses, and everything in between. I have received countless numbers of wild birds mangled and/or killed by outdoor/feral cats, such as the Orange-crowned Warbler pictured here. It sickens me.

I have always been interested in mice. Note that neither dogs nor cats have hands, but both mice and rats do. I have read that mice somehow know to lower the frequency of their squeaks so humans can hear them -- truly amazing to understand that this is necessary if true. I even met a feral racoon at like 3 or 4 am.

Almost every single outdoor pet cat, feral cat, or stray kills other animals , no matter how well fed the cat is through other sources. Trap-neuter-release programs sound nice and let folks think that they are doing good but they actually often add to the problem , and never reach the goal of zero feral cats in an area.

Nonnative species have huge impacts on wildlife species everywhere… mice kill seabird chicks in their burrows, rats eat endangered bird eggs, overpopulated deer clear the understory of forests, pigs root out native plants and terrestrial animals, cats kill anything they can get their paws on. The logic of this is ridiculous.

Case in point: some of my family members have become active with feral cat colony organizations. On the one hand, it’s better than doing nothing with a feral cat colony. But I don’t agree with the supplemental feeding that happens with feral cats–if you’re gonna call them wildlife, treat them as such.
