Cats can't be evil, no other animals apart from humans can be. They haven't the intellect to be guided by a moral compass.

sod all this they are good company
They are invasive killers
We have a load of beautiful sparrows in our back yard
This morning I saw next doors scummy cat that they call stupid names as they call it in at night , come trotting past our back window with a freshly killed bird in its jaws
Cats are responsible for the mindless killing of millions of birds every year in this country
If shooting cats was legal I would take out any ****er that came near my house
Evil little gits
Cats can't be evil, no other animals apart from humans can be. They haven't the intellect to be guided by a moral compass.
I was never into cats then we got two rescue kittens and I absolutely love the little shits. They kill a fair amount of mice and moths but they've got bells on so very rarely do they get close to a bird
Used to see nice tits once in the garden. Not anymore.
I used to like cats, we had a great one when I was 6 and it lived until I was 22. A great fighter of dogs, it used to wait for a certain dog to walk past the house before chasing it. "Hey mister", said the kids with the dog, "Your cat is wild, is it a vampire cat"?
It went away, never came back. Next cat was hopeless, always sick, cost a fortune and was deadly for the birds. Putting a bell on it seemed to make it an even better killer and when he lost the bell his kill rate was impressively terrible.
I don't have any pets now, and don't think I ever will. Someone's dog took 3 shits in our garden recently (neighbour's, he won't admit to it though) and I was kecking trying to clean that stuff up. I love dogs, but owning one seems a drag.
Sparrows lives matter
Most cats actually catch very little, they get all the food they need from their owners and spend the rest of the time lying in the sun, sleeping late, fighting and ****ing.
There's about 10 million sparrows in the UK and 11 million cats, so clearly a lot of cats aren't ever catching a sparrow.
From the RSPB
Despite the large numbers of birds killed by cats in gardens, there is no clear scientific evidence that such mortality is causing bird populations to decline. This may be surprising, but many millions of birds die naturally every year, mainly through starvation, disease or other forms of predation. There is evidence that cats tend to take weak or sickly birds.
We also know that of the millions of baby birds hatched each year, most will die before they reach breeding age. This is also quite natural, and each pair needs only to rear two young that survive to breeding age to replace themselves and maintain the population.
It is likely that most of the birds killed by cats would have died anyway from other causes before the next breeding season, so cats are unlikely to have a major impact on populations. If their predation was additional to these other causes of mortality, this might have a serious impact on bird populations.
Those bird species which have undergone the most serious population declines in the UK (such as skylarks, tree sparrows and corn buntings) rarely encounter cats, so cats cannot be causing their declines. Research shows that these declines are usually caused by habitat change or loss, particularly on farmland
Our two have brought us loads over the years. Mostly birds but also mice, rats, moles and a couple of squirrels. Have a wooded area not far so they seem to find it quite easy.
As grim as it is for me to deal with it's nature, they are putting themselves out there in harms way also.
There are probably a million ways that little sparrow can end up being killed such are the perils of being so low down the food chain and a life expectancy of a few years if they avoid everything that's out to get them.
