Cat predation on wildlife is the result of the natural instincts and behavior of both feral and domesticated cats to hunt small prey, including wildlife. Some people view this as a desirable phenomenon, such as in the case of barn cats and other cats kept for the intended purpose of pest control; however, contrary to popular belief, there is no scientific evidence that cats are an effective means of rodent control, and ecologists oppose their use for this purpose because of the disproportionate harm they do to beneficial native wildlife. As an invasive species and superpredator, they do considerable ecological damage.

  • La prédation des chats sur la faune sauvage est le résultat de l'instinct naturel et du comportement des chats haret et domestiques pour chasser les petites proies, y compris la faune sauvage. Dans certains cas, ce phénomène est souhaité, afin de lutter contre les espèces nuisibles ; cependant, contrairement à une idée reçue, il n'y a aucune preuve scientifique que les chats sont un moyen efficace de contrôle des rongeurs, et les écologues s'opposent à leur utilisation à cette fin en raison des dommages disproportionnés qu'ils font à la faune sauvage bénéfique. Le chat, espèce envahissante et superprédatrice, cause en effet des dommages écologiques considérables. En Australie, la prédation des chats a contribué à l'extinction d'au moins 20 mammifères indigènes et continue d'en menacer au m (fr)
