The domestic cat is an invasive species in any different countries

where it has been introduced. Due to their hunting instincts and ability to reproduce rapidly, domestic cats can have a negative impact on local wildlife populations. They are known to prey on birds, small mammals, reptiles, and insects, sometimes causing declines in native species.

In addition to their hunting behavior, domestic cats can also spread diseases to wild animals, such as toxoplasmosis. This parasite can be harmful to many species, including humans.

Efforts are being made in some areas to control feral cat populations and protect native wildlife from the impacts of domestic cats. This may involve trapping and neutering feral cats, as well as promoting responsible pet ownership and keeping cats indoors.
