Cats are a smaller problem in New Zealand than is often claimed. The possums and rats are far worse, to the point where NZ is engaging in bio-chemical warfare against them. However the worst thing for birds are not those small mammalian predators humans brought there, but the massive destruction of their livelihood: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation_in_New_Zealand

Yes, stack rank risks & threats.

Yes, prioritize benefits & ROI.

Yes, cats kill their share of birds.

Yes, keeping cats indoors feels like recycling plastic (pointless).

But I still do it. Because I don't want to be part of the problem.

We make what improvements we can.
