“任何养猫的人都会看到他们的猫把动物带回家宠物猫。问题是,这重要吗?我们特别想知道,猫到底在哪里捕猎?它们是在自家后院打猎呢,还是去自然保护区?”

有些猫是真正的探险家宠物猫。一只名叫Max的英国猫在两个相邻村庄之间的路上来回走了近两公里——两次!但大多数猫都是“宅男”,很少在离家一百米以外的地方游荡。换句话说,它们用家里的后院和一些邻居的后院,作为狩猎场。这项研究结果发表在《动物保护》杂志上。

我们可以把它转换成一种货币,一种价值——宠物猫每年每公顷杀死多少猎物?这也是我们对野生捕食者的估计宠物猫。我们估算出一种叫做丛林猫的体型,它和宠物猫体型差不多大。但每只丛林猫杀死的动物更多,因为它们必须捕猎才能得到食物。但与宠物猫相比,丛林猫捕猎的范围很大。”

随着房子周围的杀戮行为增多,城市野生动物的积极影响——比如美丽的鸣禽、小蜥蜴控制捕捉害虫的方式——都可能受到冲击,而这些都是人们最欣赏的宠物猫。因此,当自然资源保护主义者恳求猫主人把宠物养在室内时,科学证据也同意这一观点。
