Did you know that domestic cats are the #1 killer of our imperiled native birds? In the US alone they kill 2.4 billion birds each year. More than any other human caused threat, by a long shot.
They may make nice pets, but they top the International Union for Conservation's list of nature's most destructive invasive species.
If you're an environmentalist, a birder, or you just love nature, keep that kitty indoors.

If you'd like to learn more about the eye-popping ecological impacts that unchecked domestic cats have, check out this free webinar from Missouri River Bird Observatory, one of my favorite nonprofits. These webinars are a public service, there's no fee and you don't have to be from Missouri.
