Greetings,

The issues of cat predation comes up regularly on NatureNS and  
frequently provokes a flurry of arguments, pro and con. Rather than  
take up space here, I'll refer potentially interested readers to an  
article on the subject that I wrote in 1999 for Bird Watcher's Digest.  
As the Youtube video refered to below (produced by the American Bird  
Conservancy) indicates, the problem hasn't gone away, and indeed may  
now be worse than it was I decade ago when I wrote about the subject:

Best wishes,

Chris
