Calling all cat owners...
We want to find out all about your cat
We're interested in what your cat gets up to when he/she leaves the house.
In particular, we want to know how many small mammals and birds they bring home.
​
The impacts that cats have on our wildlife are not yet fully understood. We will be using a combination of 'cat diaries', cat-cameras, and GPS technology to shed light on the predatory habits of cats in the UK.
​
We are also interested to hear about their day-to-day behaviour, habits, and environment. This will help us to understand why some cats predate more than others.
Who do we want to hear from?
​
Do you have a cat? Do you live in the UK? If so, we'd love to hear from you!
​
No two cats are the same, and in order to understand what causes them to behave differently, we need to gather information on a huge variety of individuals.
​
So, whether your cat regularly brings home prey, or not, get in touch!
We're on social media
