Indeed there are. But they will be different types of lizards, snakes, frogs, small mammals insects and worms, therefore, the proportions killed will not be the same. I don't expect my cats have killed too many tiger snakes, which will be the only snakes you'll get round here. Maybe they got a couple of those little geckos, but I think they'd be too fast to be common prey. Frogs - possibly, but they only come out when its wet - and the cats won't venture out.

And as for the small mammals (ie field mice) insects and worms - yep, they've killed a ton, but who gives a poo?

Well firstly we're not just talking about Perth..
The proportions will be relatively the same but it doesn't really matter if they are different in this case.

There are more snakes then that, and more lizards, frogs can come out when disturbed but cats do know how to look for animals you know right?..
For Australia you should include small marsupials of which Perth has.

You said yourself that if someone cares about an animal then you have no right to kill it..
Regardless, they are native and small insects and worms are way more important then many larger animals.. There are heaps of endangered insects.

I am.

I am specifically talking about MY cats that live at MY house.

Actually your claims are about the whole of Australia, but your way of trying to prove that is by talking about your own cats.
So ok lets assume you are right, in your .000001% of Australia the research is irrelevant, can you prove it for the other 99.999999%

Are they mate?

i think you'll find any "claims" I've made refer specifically to MY cats.

Is his your way of backtracking after realising all the "you loose" (sic) bizzo was a bit...premature?

You said the research was irrelevant for Australia? And you try to prove that by talking about your backyard...

You have backtracked on every single claim you have made so far, strange you would mention the idea.
