Seems like more of a cat adoration project than a scientific study. Unlike other cat cam projects there is no mention of domestic cats predatory behaviour, and how this impacts the environment. Seems like mostly POV for cat lovers.

Remember kids, if it isn't the science you like, it isn't science at all.

For me, the best thing about this person's interview from TFA is their call for others to do the same. Just like me ubering to school or work is not science, the mass collection of data points yields opportunities for better studies down the road.

Unless the study was concerned with environmental impact, that's not something it should necessarily focus on.

Seems like this comment has a particular agenda.
