World's Most Lovable Invasive Species

Many people love cats, myself included, but we have all heard of the problems they can cause when they are allowed to roam free. Below are some links to information about one of our favorite pets and the harm they can cause when left to follow their natural instincts outdoors. Now understand, these problems are caused by us, the pet owners. As responsible pet owners we need to take the time to learn about their needs, to keep them safe from the world and to keep the world safe from them.
  • World's Most Lovable Invasive Species
  • Felis catus (mammal): The Global Invasive Species Database
  • Wild Animals Killed by Cats
  • Introduced Species Summary Project: Domestic Cats
  • House Cats Kill More Critters than Thought
  • Cats are Invasive Species
  • Kitty Cam: University Of Georgia Research
  • DOMESTIC CAT PREDATION ON BIRDS AND OTHER WILDLIFE
So what determines whether you have the world's most adorable cat or an invasive species threatening the wildlife around you? You do.
Keep Inferno Kitty safely at home
