Marra|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] is a thorough discussion of outdoor domestic cats. Each chapter focuses on an issue that arises when cats are allowed to live outside. The authors use their impressive list of references, many of which are peer-reviewed, to explain the science.
We are presented with clear research and data that indicate, without a doubt, that domestic cats kill wildlife and carry disease. [a:Peter P. Marra|15066575|Peter P.

While cats are not the only threat to birds (habitat loss, pesticides, climate change, etc.), it is something we can easily control. As a pet owner, I can choose to keep my spayed calico cat indoors. As an avid birder, I value the abundance and diversity of birds and other small animals in our world.
If you have a cat and care about natural ecosystems, I encourage you to read this book.
