Eric Lawton reviewed Cat Wars by Peter P. Marra
Review of 'Cat Wars' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
Very interesting book, covers many aspects of the life of outdoor cats and the harm they do to wildlife and humans and the harm done to them.
Coverage includes biology (of cats, their prey and predators, their diseases and ecology), ethics, sociology, social psychology.
Presents several points of view, though I don't think the supporters of outdoor owned and feral cats will agree their arguments are given full consideration. To that extent it is a polemic in favour of not allowing cats to roam outdoors at all, but the case is very well made. I already agreed; I'd be interested to hear if it persuaded anyone who had not yet decided.
