"We discovered that the average domestic cat in D.C. has a 61% probability of being found in the same space as racoons -- America's most prolific rabies vector -- 61% spatial overlap with red foxes, and 56% overlap with Virginia opossums, both of which can also spread rabies," said Daniel Herrera, lead author of the study and Ph.D. student in UMD's Department of Environmental Science and Technology (ENST). "By letting our cats outside we are significantly jeopardizing their health."

Key Points: 
  • The study showed that humans bear the primary responsibility and that these risks can be significantly reduced by keeping cats indoors.
  • By hunting these animals, cats can reduce biodiversity and degrade ecosystem health.
  • He says that these associations run counter to arguments that free-roaming cats are simply stepping into a natural role in the ecosystem by hunting wildlife.
  • Herrera encourages pet owners to keep their cats indoors to avoid potential encounters between their pets and native wildlife.
