Yeah this isn’t true, this is standard BS repeated by people who don’t have cats and know nothing about cats.
Cats have a hunting success rate of like 20% at best so no they don’t litter the environment with carcasses, most interactions between cats and birds result in the bird flying off and the cat sitting there looking sort of stupid. Otherwise birds would have gone extinct long before humans developed language.
Most of my cats hated birds. they always scared them away, so they wouldn’t alert the rats and pheasants they were hunting. They were rarely successful (about 3 or 4 rats in their resp. lifetime, no pheasants, that would have been wild.) For my well fed cats it seemed never about the kill, only hunting.
Well except when they brought me mice whenever I was on a diet, I think because I was malnourished. Helped me figure out the best vitamins tho.
