My daughter has two cats and they spend much of their time attacking
birds through the glass windows of our home. I agree with you that cat
owners should be responsible to keep their cats indoors so not to
interfere with wildlife. Cats in our neighborhood don't last long
because of native wild cats, coyotes, owls and hawks. I can remember
only one outdoor cat in our neighborhood who was completely black, a
natural camouflage but he finally succumbed to a passing motorist.

Keep em sterile and keep em indoors.
