- tgb 5y agoLike this one, where they put cameras and GPS on cats? https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-22821639 https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-22821639 Or this one: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006320713000189 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00063... > Twenty-three percent of cat prey items were returned to households; 49% of items were left at the site of capture, and 28% were consumed.
