I live in a village in Romania, a lot of cats get killed by cars, I always have an old cat that seems to be more smarted and survives for long time, but most younger cats get killed before 1 year. You would think they are smart and plus evolution that filters out the less adapted one the cats would be capable to avoid cars. Here we do not keep cats locked inside so it is sad but there is nothing we can do about this.

In both cases the rate of car accidents is not sufficient to kill off large portions of the species and apply very strong selective pressure for individuals who are immune towards this. In either case when you compare stats like success rates per hunt, housecats are some of the most successful hunters on earth.
- simion314 1y agoIn my life I am not aware of anyone getting killed by a car in my village, where a few of my cars were killed and I seen many cat bodies on the side of the road. Also people do not claim that are a top predator with high agility, vision and reflexes.
