At Grand Canyon National Park, residents and visitors are being urged to recognize the hazards of allowing domestic cats to roam freely outdoors. Recognizing outdoor domestic cats as strict carnivores is crucial to understanding the unintended consequences of their actions. Despite domestication, these feline friends retain a relentless hunting instinct that poses a significant threat to billions of native animals worldwide, including birds, reptiles, and small mammals. Humans inadvertently exacerbate these issues by permitting cats to roam freely. Documented cases have revealed coyotes, foxes, and raptors preying on pet cats within the bounds of the park. The message is clear: Cats not only pose a considerable threat to local wildlife but can also become part of the food chain themselves. Keeping them indoors not only ensures their health and longevity but also protects them from predators and reduces exposure to diseases and parasites. It’s a call to action for responsible pet ownership and wildlife conservation in our cherished natural space
