If you're under quarantine or self isolation today, why not tune in at 11am EST for a live stream about our new cat research

[Roland Kays @RolandKays]

We worked with #citizenscience internationally, using GPS units to track 925 cats in 6 countries. @philiproetman and his team tracked 440 in Australia, Heidy Kikillus & co tagged 230 in New Zealand, Jenni McDonald mapped 101 cats in the UK

[Roland Kays @RolandKays]

Today we published a paper @AnimalConserv finding that pet cats have an ecological impact 4-10X that of a wild predator, although mostly within 100m of their house. (1/n)
