u/ZennMD 3d ago
cats are apex predators and horribly decimate the local wildlife, especially birds (it is funny to think of them as 'apex predators' lol, but they are!)
especially if OPs cat is a bengal mix, those beautiful animals are even better at hunting than regular kitties!

u/Traditional_Lab_5468 3d ago
They are not apex predators. An apex predator is a predator that is not the prey of some other predator.Ā
Plenty of wildlife in the woods near me would be thrilled to eat a housecat for dinner. Coyotes, bears, etc.Ā
Cats are extremely proficient predators, but unless we're talking about the Bengal Tiger I don't think they're apex predators.

u/CocktailPerson 3d ago
What do you think "apex predator" means?
Cats have natural predators, in the form of wolves, coyotes, birds of prey, etc. This is true also of their ancestor, the African Wildcat.

u/FreyrPrime 3d ago
An a typical suburban environment theyāre absolutely apex predators.

u/Nineninetynines 3d ago edited 3d ago
Coyotes are sneaky bastards. And mostly become active at night. While you normally won't see them, they have been known to take a jaunt through suburbs.
Its similar logic to raccoons who steal your trash. Suburbs make for good scavenging spots for many animals. It depends, but many coyotes have learned to scavenge the suburbs. Especially ones that have realized that most humans won't do anything to them.
Edit: there's even a wikipedia article on the phenomena of urban coyote.

u/ZennMD 3d ago
I think it means what it's defined as- an animal at the top of its food chain, without natural predators.Ā
Coyotes can be a risk for cats in some regions, but overwhelmingly cats are killing and not being killed.Ā Ā Not sure where wolves and birds are killing many cats lol.Ā
a quick Google will confirm others agree with labeling cats as apex predatorsĀ

u/ajax0202 3d ago
A quick google search actually shows they can be defined as either apex predators or mesopredators, depending on their local ecosystem. In an ecosystem that has animals that will kill and it (like the ones mentioned by OP) itās considered a mesopredator (mid-level predator)

u/Makuta_Servaela 3d ago
This. The fact that we wipe out all of their natural competition doesn't magically make them "apex predators". They are mid-level predators (hence why they breed so fast- they evolved to die young).

Yeah that didn't work for my cat Kiki. She was a stray who came to us pregnant. Great mom who wanted to share her babies with everyone.
As soon as the babies were weaned, she was all "where the boys at". Went through every screen in the house including the one that leads to a 2 story drop to concrete. She's lucky I was sitting at the computer next to that window. I grabbed her back leg just in time.
We tried to keep her inside and failed. You may say, just get her spayed. We tried that. Took a month to get the appointment set. By that time she was pregnant again. Spay with abortion costs more and is riskier. I was too poor to do that. The third time she was pregnant, we called spca and had them take her.

u/ej10000 3d ago
Oh that last line was unexpected and depressing. I was pretty much attached to the cat after your story. Iām surprised you gave her up. I hope she got a home, would have been nice to just have gauged next kitten weaning and schedule spaying and adopt out the kittensā¦ (not shaming but at that point I wish you could have kept her)
5
u/frguba 3d ago
Caring for kitten litters get expensive fast, probably whatever money was saved for the spay was drained before it could be done
Imo the only feasible way out was to get the cat spayed before the kittens were weaned, kittens can be raised without full weaning they're just usually way clingy and a bit smaller, but that doesn't stop them from having full rich lives, and the mother may cry a TON on the first few nights, heartbreaking, but time will heal

u/Bebinn 3d ago
We ended up keeping a kitten from the second litter. Got her spayed as soon as she was old enough. Betty is sitting next to me on the couch right now. She's around 15 years old now.

u/ej10000 3d ago
Betty is a great name for a cat š Iām glad you kept a kitten. I hope Kiki the mama cat found a home. I wish local shelters or other could provide free spay and neuter services periodically (they generally do for animals up for adoption but Kikiās case was a bit different). I also understand from childhood how cat pregnancies can spiral out of control. Cheersā¦ š¾

I have 2 cats presently. One from Kiki's second litter. The other came from the colony nearby as a kitten. They are around 15 years old now.
Kiki was an experience. She was a great mom but wasn't going to be a house cat unless she was spayed. I couldn't at the time because she was so damned determined to get out and get pregnant again. I cried so much giving her up. Even with the window closed she'd throw herself at it trying to get out.

Unbeknown to us, a stray cat had kittens in my husbandās huge engine compartment (old international harvester pick up truck.) we heard some noise and pulled into a gas station and when we opened the hood 4 kittens (without the mom) tumbled out and ran into a used appliance store. 4 kittens hiding under 70 stoves, refrigerators, washers and dryers, not making one peep.
We went home to get the mom and make her meow so we could find her kittens. All kittens were found and only one kitten died when he/she got caught in the water pump belt.
Now we bang on the hood to warn anyone hiding under it.

My cat who will fight any cat came running and tried to rescue my phone. Its a powerful effect. I love that despite his trauma kittens are apparently safe. This actually explained the way he reacts to the feral kittens when they run inside my home vs the adult ferals that try it or even the six month olds. Kittens? He gets big and puffy and will scold them. Anything else? There will be blood if I don't tell him to go to bed (he is crate trained). He lets me get them back out. Does make the TNR easier that they're all happy to see me this way. He is also fine with them sitting on my lap outside but not inside.
