This isn’t some zero sum thought exponent where you “win” if you can find me some edge cases. What else do you think was involved with these extinctions? Do you think maybe it was a bunch of people showing up with a bunch of bullshit and destroying everything, perhaps? Yeah…we’ve destroyed things 10000 different ways…I’m sure cats were high in that list once or twice.

You’re kind of skipping the elephant in the room if you make cats the bad guy instead of human nature. All you’re doing is treating a symptom and you’ll save approximate 0% of the environment (rounded the the closest %) of you go on an anti-cat crusade.

Man, you really enjoy being confidently incorrect, don't you.

You're right about one thing, though, this isn't some zero sum issue. You can definitely acknowledge cats are an ecological threat without taking away from the fact that humans are also an ecological threat.
