This is certainly evidence that cats are killing birds but characterising the numbers in the studies you've cited as absolute decimation seems unfair. I'm genuinely surprised at how low some of these counts are. For example: 37 be

It does feel there's something of a line between the older folklore and the urban, technology-infused tales, but overall it is a great connection to make. Takashi Miike's The Great Yokai War is a nice little take on the old and ne
