Domestic cats (Felis catus) are beloved companions for many people, but they are also invasive predators that have been linked to numerous birds, mammals and reptiles going extinct. Their eating habits are of interest to ecologists, to determine the risk these cats pose to endangered species. Writing in Nature Communications, Lepczyk et al. report a global assessment of the diet of free-ranging domestic cats — and find that they are not picky eaters (C. A. Lepczyk et al. Nature Commun. 14, 7809; 2023).
