Hi momsavang, your spotting makes an important point about the impact of cats on wildlife. It's a very touchy subject since it at first seems like an "us-or-them" situation, but many of us wildlife lovers are also crazy about our cats. The issue is to find ways to think about this topic and provide useful information to others. Here are some articles you could add to your notes for this spotting. https://www.tyrantfarms.com/5-ways-to-stop-your-cat-from-killing-birds-and-other-wildlife/ https://abcbirds.org/program/cats-indoors/cats-and-birds/ https://wildlifemanagement.institute/outdoor-news-bulletin/august-2012/new-research-suggests-outdoor-cats-kill-more-wildlife-previously I'd also request that you remove the last picture in your series. Thanks!
