had a semi-stray cat that could make a six foot vertical leap and catch a sparrow in it's mouth. he would do this several times a day.
these things are apex predators
I once watched my cat do that to some sparrows that were chilling on top of a six foot stone wall. Motherfucker ran all the way up it, then used the last of his momentum to dive down onto a bird, biting down on it's neck in one swift motion before bringing it back down with him as he fell. I swear it looked more like a shark attack than any mammal hunting style. I love cats but holy shit they really are nature's perfect killing machines. Little xenomorphs, one and all

Gonna be that guy here. No, they aren't. Not small cats, anyway.

I'm a bird
Be an owl and you can avenge your fellow avians against cats
Doesn't this just mean they have no natural predators? I've always heard that cats were considered apex.
Coyotes get them all the time
some lynxes also hunt cats, or so I've heard
Owls sometimes, I've heard.
You don't know what the term means then.
Nothing hunts feral cats.

Almost nowhere though. Certainly not in the urban areas where all of those predators have been eliminated by us.
Most of the country (and world) is not urban, so that's actually mostly everywhere.

Wish I did, then maybe something would solve the cat problem.
