DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM DESCRIPTION \nCalifornia Scrub-Jay and friend ©Kelli O’Neill \nCats have been shown to be one of the most destructive predators of birds on the planet. But their importance as companion animals to people brings up interesting challenges to conservation measures and management strategies for owned and unowned cats.
