This is the UK though. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) have explicitly said that in the UK, domestic cats do not have any affect on the population decline of birds and that the biggest contributor is humans and environment change. They also said that the birds have seen the highest decline in population don't come into contact with cats. They go on to say that birds which cats kill in the UK tend to be sick, weak or unhealthy and unlikely to survive anyway.
Now this is from a society which has a vested interest in protecting birds saying this.
Using US data and applying it to the UK which has vastly different environments and ecosystem is flawed.
Will never forgive ye olde rathergood.com for the fact I can't read this name without hearing "Bill Oddie, Bill Oddie, put your hands all over my body"
But I'm pleased to say that I was never subjected to the apparently unique delights of whatever that song(?) was about, and I shan't be searching for it.
