Predation by Free-Roaming Cats on an Insular Population of Bats
Acta Chiropterologica, 2010(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Free-roaming cats are known to adversely impact native faunas in the areas where they have been introduced, an impact that is even greater on islands. We examine the predation of bats by cats at Culebrones cave, Puerto Rico, West Indies.

Risk behaviours exhibited by free‐roaming cats in a suburban US town
Veterinary Record, 2013Free‐roaming cats may experience numerous hazardous encounters in the outdoor environment, including: vehicular accidents, aggression from other animals and exposure to infectious disease. This research quantitatively examined the outdoor activities of 55 owned cats by monitoring pets outfitted with ‘KittyCam’ video cameras.

The daytime behaviour of domestic cats in a free-roaming population
Animal Behaviour, 1977Abstract The cats ( Felis catus ) of this study were found to fluctuate daily between solitary and group living. These temporal changes in behaviour were interpreted as reflecting adjustments made by the cats for maximum use of different food sources available at these times.

The attitudes and behaviours of cat owners in regard to treatment of cats may have a cumulative effect on the food availability, reproduction, density and welfare of the free-roaming cat population and thus also on the extent of cat overpopulation. Understanding this is thus a vital step in the a priori planning of cat management programs on any scale,

Free‐roaming cat interactions with wildlife admitted to a wildlife hospital
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2016ABSTRACTFree‐roaming domestic cats are a major anthropogenic source of morbidity and mortality to wild birds and mammals in the United States. Permitted wildlife rehabilitators routinely treat cat‐caused injuries. However, extent of these activities is under‐reported in the scientific literature.

Predicting free‐roaming cat population densities in urban areas
Animal Conservation, 2016AbstractAlthough free‐roaming cats can have a significant impact on the environment, and substantial resources have been invested to find humane alternatives for managing free‐roaming cat populations, there are no empirical estimates of free‐roaming cat population size in medium to large cities.
