I was staying briefly in a duplex house in the country not far from Atlantic City, NJ a few years ago. The other renters had a cat which they neglected and feed intermittently. Every few days I would find remains of robins, chipmunks, bluejay, mice, and the like. This cat made a real dent in the population of local song birds.

Cats are just killing machines. I have tried to convince so many people of the folly of letting their cats roam outside, only to be told that it’s the balance of nature.

Predators of the eastern chipmunk include hawks, foxes, raccoons, weasels, snakes, bobcats, lynx, and domestic cats. On average, eastern chipmunks live three or more years in the wild, but in captivity they may live as long as eight years.
