Our 3 cats kill maybe a total of 5 birds and 10 mice a year. They can't reproduce and prefer to stay inside for most of the year. They're not a problem, as many new studies have found out. At least in northern Germany. It might be a bigger problem elsewhere though. Just trying to point out that your criticism may only apply to certain areas.

That’s what you know they have killed. Who knows how much more. They also still get hit by cars, mauled by dogs, attacked by other cats, piss and shit in other people’s yards.

That you know of. I'm a bird lover, I've got my biases, admittedly. But no, cats seem to put a very heavy strain on the local bird population.

And you failed to do so.
