How to Leave the House

Cats, like any other predators, are born to kill other animals. It’s a natural order of things. My cat regularly brings back mice, birds, lizards and little snakes. I do have to get rid of them, but he makes me proud.

Cats are invasive species in the US and Australia, with very few natural predators left

Natural, in the same sense that air conditioning and pickup trucks are natural.

Feral cats mostly live in cities, or are fed by farmers to encourage them to stay where they can protect feed stores. Like modern corn (maize), they don't naturalize into the wild.

Are you disputing the fact that cats are natural born predators?
