If you own a cat, there's probably been a day where he brought you a present from outside. And that present was a DEAD ANIMAL.
--According to a new study, cats are actually the SERIAL KILLERS of the animal world. They're out there, every day, stealthily killing EVERYTHING in sight.
--Between wild cats and pet cats who are allowed to go outside, cats kill anywhere from 6.9 BILLION to 20.7 BILLION other animals every year . . . and that's JUST in the continental U.S.
--Birds are the main victim of serial killing cats. Cats take out up to 3.7 BILLION birds a year in the U.S. Mice, shrews, rabbits, and voles are the next-most common targets.
--There are anywhere from 114 million to 164 million wild and domestic cats in the U.S. Which means the average cat kills at least 42 animals a year. Of course, I'm sure your special guy kills zero . . . it's all the other cats killing WAY more.
--The Smithsonian ran the study with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Their response to the findings? Quote, "Stunned."
