What you can do to prevent the catpocalypse
We don't have to let the cat out of the bag. The two biggest things we can do to prevent a catpocalypse from continuing to wipe out troubled wildlife are spaying and neutering our cats and keeping our cats indoors. Yes, our feline friends love spending time outside. Unfortunately for your neighborhood birds, mostly what they love to do is hunt. Predation is natural. Predation on the scale of the current cat population is a problem, as any birdwatcher in New Zealand with happily tell you.
We often feel overwhelmed in the face of environmental challenges. This one, at least, should be avoidable. Barring large-scale disasters that force cat owners to abandon their pets or a sudden species-specific event that wipes out all humanity, it is safe to say that for the time being this secret cat army is safely locked away, content to knead, pounce on our feet and otherwise cause lovable mayhem in our lives.
For the sake of the environment, let's try and keep it that way.
