Attitudes towards predation by domestic cats in UK nature reserves differs between conservation researchers and conservation practitioners and is affected by cat ownership
Domestic cats are the most abundant vertebrate predator in many regions, but the acceptability of management strategies to reduce their effects on wildlife among conservation researchers and practitioners is unclear. We conducted a survey of UK-based conservation researchers and practitioners, using eight key statements on cat risks and management strategies, and assessed whether cat ownership influenced attitudes. While both researchers and prac…
Pet cats (Felis catus) from urban boundaries use different habitats, have larger home ranges and kill more prey than cats from the suburbs
The domestic cat (Felis catus) is a predator of global significance. In Great Britain there are ca. 9.5 million owned pet cats, with their population determined by human population density. As urban areas expand and encroach on areas of conservation value, it is not known how cats use these areas and how habitat availability influences predation rates. To address this, over a year we recorded the movement and prey of 79 owned cats in inner suburb…
