Wildlife areas had to be 'special', eg demarcated by predator fences, district from human/cat communities, before cats were perceived not to belong in them. Our cities have wildlife interlaced throughout - how do we change norms around protecting species outside of sanctuaries? 4/n

Owners perceive their cat as a member of the local community, valuing interactions with neighbours and passersby. Even when threatened species live nearby, cats are perceived by owners to 'belong' in these spaces. 3/n besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Freedom, independence and curiosity are seen as important cat attributes. Showing how these can still be enabled within the home property, through different spaces and enrichment, is good for cat welfare and may help owners feel containment is right for them and their cat 2/n
