My cat didn’t get the memo that he is “cuddly.” He merely tolerates us because we provide a bowl of cat food he may or may not eat..

I don’t know....I see a lot of cats but also (unfortunately) a lot of rabbits, squirrels and other garden loving critters.

Not my cat. He spends his days looking handsome. Doesn't need to hunt. He has “staff” (me) to cater to his every need.
These enviro-whackos are totally insane.

Neighborhoods don’t have “natural wildlife biodiversity”. By their very nature, they are artificial creations shaped by man, with all the associated scavengers, parasites and predators that follow us around and depend on our existence.

Cats are pikers when it comes to killing vermin. You want to wipe out some critters, get a Jack Russell.

Believe it or not, there are also “experts” who have claimed that released fishing worms in some parts of the Great Lakes region have destroyed the forest floors.

One of the ferals was targeting birds, but we figured out it was only the stupider birds (which also tended to freely poop all over the car), the smarter birds OTOH are flourishing.

We also see lots of other critters. And not finding a bunch of dead ones around the yard or neighborhood. The last two birds that we know our cat caught, he just toyed with them both, and they lived (or went somewhere else to die?).

Not the feral around here, she leaves carefully picked little piles of feathers and bones.

Some are better hunters than others.

We’re seeing more coyotes in my neighborhood, because a large area of woods/brushland was recently cleared to build a new subdivision about a mile away.

...they fear cats are throwing your neighborhood's natural wildlife biodiversity out of whack, damaging the long-term prospects of actual wild predators that don't have the option of chowing down on a can of Friskies at the end of a hard day. >Have their fears prompted any studies or reports showing actual harm to our fragile urban eco-systems?

Jacks are the ultimate killing machine. A Jack on a mission is a sight to behold. If they were bigger they would be the alpha predator on the planet.
