I've always been taught (by my friends studying zoology and conservation and their tutors, anyway) that blaming domestic cats is just scare-mongering and there's no proof they have an impact at all. The real problems are climate change and loss of habitat. For example, the cuckoo is in trouble here because a) it spends its autumn/winter in africa where there have been droughts and their food supply is low, b) it has to cross the Sahara on its way back, which is getting wider by the year with fewer resting places and, c) our weather is changing, making moth caterpillars, their favourite food here, rarer.
