Cats have long been talked about as A-Grade predators – even the musically talented ones… And now a study published in Nature Communications has found that cats are dining out on more than 2,000 species globally, including birds, reptiles, mammals and even insects. Yep, those fluffy little furballs are down to dine on anything, with researchers finding the heaviest bird they’d attacked was an emu, and the biggest reptile was an endangered green sea turtle. So what’s the solution? Lead researcher Christopher Lepczyk – who says he’s a long-time cat lover – reckons it’s about responsible pet ownership, including keeping kitty indoors. So, next time your cat gives you those pleading eyes to go outside, remember the good you’re doing across the environment.
