Keep Your Cat Inside
Your kitty’s cuddly when he’s indoors on your lap, but he’s lethal when he goes outside. America’s felines, both pet cats and feral ones, kill as many as 3.7 billion birds each year. The average outdoor pet cat kills two animals a week. This puts pressure on bird populations already threatened by pesticides and habitat loss. Keeping kitty inside is good for him, too. Indoor cats live as long as 17 years. Outdoor ones live an average of two to five years.
