i have and always will be a dog person whereas my gf loves cats. The only reason we don't have any is because of our renting situation, but this article made me rethink owning our little furry friend.

Cats are effective hunters, and do what nature made them to do but with our over breeding them it has had a few consequences on other species.

I dont know how i feel about keeping cats as an indoor pet but it would cut down on the amount of animals they hunt. Also cats have a tendency to hunt for fun and dont consume a fair amount of what they kill according to a different article i read. Not saying dont get a cat but definately spay/ neuter if its just a pet and consider as a house animal.
