Much press is given to the occasional cat that is taken, but billions of birds and mammals are tortured by cats, many times just for fun.

"Outdoor cats are the leading cause of death among both birds and mammals in the United States, according to a new study, killing 1.4 billion to 3.7*billion birds each year.

The mammalian toll is even higher, concluded researchers from the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, ranging from 6.9 billion to 20.7*billion annually."
Al, here's a wanted poster for a tortuous murdering feline. Enjoy. BTW, you left out lizards in your kill count.
