The domestic has an invasive species in many different countries it is estimated that federal and outside cats kill over 1 billion small mammals and songbirds each year the hunting habits of these cats is hypnotized to be one of the largest contributions to the rapidly decreasing number of songbirds in North America some songbirds like the north American barn swallow

have seen their populations decline by over 50% in the past few decades due to predation by cats.

To address this issue, some countries have implemented programs to control feral cat populations and promote responsible pet ownership. In Australia, for example, there have been successful efforts to trap and neuter feral cats to prevent them from breeding and spreading further.

In addition to controlling feral cat populations, pet owners can also help by keeping their cats indoors or supervising them while outdoors. Providing environmental enrichment for indoor cats can also help satisfy their hunting instincts without endangering local wildlife.

It is important for all pet owners to be aware of the impact their pets can have on local wildlife and take steps to minimize this impact. By working together, we can help protect our songbirds and other small mammals from the threats of invasive domestic cats.
