Keep your fluffy murderballs inside the house. This means your cat and your deranged sex toys.
when i was younger and living with my parents i actually attached a camera to see if our outdoor cat killed anything
for like 2 months it was just this lazy fucker laying under a porch
In that case it’s simple enough to net off an area for the cat to be outside.
Using an example like this is no different than someone going out and claiming that they didn’t wear a mask and are still healthy.
It’s still a serious problem and your anecdote doesn’t change that.
had a semi-stray cat that could make a six foot vertical leap and catch a sparrow in it’s mouth. he would do this several times a day. these things are apex predators
I once watched my cat do that to some sparrows that were chilling on top of a six foot stone wall. Motherfucker ran all the way up it, then used the last of his momentum to dive down onto a bird, biting down on it’s neck in one swift motion before bringing it back down with him as he fell. I swear it looked more like a shark attack than any mammal hunting style. I love cats but holy shit they really are nature’s perfect killing machines. Little xenomorphs, one and all
these things are apex predators
Gonna be that guy here. No, they aren’t. Not small cats, anyway.
Edit
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_cat
Feral cats are prey of feral dogs, dingoes, coyotes, caracals[54] and birds of prey.[9]
Doesn’t this just mean they have no natural predators? I’ve always heard that cats were considered apex.

we kill the cats so they can’t kill the sparrows
Just keep your cat inside, it’s not difficult. If the owner lets it out they’ve put it and the native animals around it in danger.
Letting a pet cat outside reduces its lifespan just by risk of being hit by a car, being poisoned, being caught in animal traps, etc.
That cat also kills several other animals, each with just as much value as a cat. Endemic species that actually belong there.
Id love to see how much of the cats genociding birds is corporate propaganda
