The Nature Conservation Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences classifies domestic cats (Felis catus) as “invasive alien species”. However, the decision caused consternation among some people, especially cat lovers, the Associated Press reported.
The Polish Institute of Science cites damage to birds and other wildlife as the reason cats are classified as “alien”.
Some cat lovers were not happy with the lab’s decision and reacted emotionally. Wojciech Solarz is a biologist at the Polish Academy of Sciences and entered Feliscatus in a national database run by the Nature Conservation Institute.
The decision to classify cats as an “invasive alien species” caused uproar.
The AP reported that Solarz was unprepared for a negative public response to the institute’s decision to include Felis catus in its invasive alien species database.
Felis catus, 1,786 species were already listed as alien species in the database. However, the AP reported that no one objected to the inclusion of 1,786 species on Tuesday (local time).

Felis catus was the 1787th species recorded as an invasive alien species. According to Solerts, this caused a lot of turmoil. This is because some media reports have “misconceived” that the Nature Conservancy is advocating the euthanasia of feral and other cats.
Solerts says there is a growing scientific consensus that domestic cats have a negative impact on biodiversity. According to him, cats hunt and kill birds and mammals, thereby affecting biodiversity.
Quoting Solarz, the report states that the criteria for including cats as a subspecies is met 100 percent by cats.
Last week, Solarz played against a vet in a television feature on independent broadcaster TVN. Veterinarians questioned Soler’s conclusions about cats’ danger to wildlife, the report said.
Cats were falsely accused: author of “Happy Cats.”
Dorota Suminska, who wrote the book The Happy Cat, says there are other reasons for biodiversity loss. These include city buildings and polluted environments that can kill all birds in flight.
He claimed that many charges were wrongly brought against the cat. “Ask if humans are on the non-invasive alien species list,” he said. According to a
According to the report, Solarz says that cats kill about 140 million birds in Poland every year.
The Polish Academy Institute published an article on their website earlier this month. The institute cited “controversy” and tried to clarify its position.
The Nature Conservancy emphasized “rejecting all forms of abuse of animals” and argued that the classification was in line with European Union directives.

According to the institute, this makes “feliscatus” foreign to Europe from a purely scientific point of view.
The Polish Institute recommends that cat owners limit the amount of time their pet birds spend outdoors during the breeding season, the report said. Sollats said he had a dog, but “nothing for it
