    Rubbish. Gutter trash like this acts as if no other species that eats other animals exists on the planet and only felines are the grim reapers of catchable prey. If little stray kitty down the street could be/could have been adopted and kept indoors, the little sparrow could have been saved. ):

    You know. Until a hawk ate it or some thing.

      A hawk eats to survive. Because they aren’t fed by humans, they exist in relatively small numbers. Too little food, if there are too many they starve. Because pet cats are also fed at home, and stray cats feed on garbage, they exist in artificially high numbers.

      Not rubbish. Other species aren’t cared for and fed by humans then set loose on the neighborhood to kill for fun.

      If all cats were feral you’d have a point but as it stands they’re killing just for fun - not to survive

      A hawk hunts to survive. A pet hunts for fun. That’s the difference.
