I do not disagree that cats are invasive, but you called them "apex" predators. This is a poor adjective, as "apex" means "on the peak". Housecats, domesticated or feral, are not "apex" predators. On an island overrun by rabbits, they could be a top predator, but they are not "apex" predators. They are secondary, niche predators.

I adopted two feral kittens. They were so wild they had to be kept in a guinea pig cage and I had to swaddle them in a towel with only their heads visible so I could get close to them and tame them. They grew up to be the most loving and gentle cats I've ever had.

Yeah, feral cats are notoriously difficult. I've been lucky to work with some where the owners of the land were actually wanting to become friends with them. I went over to a friend's grabdmothers house once because he'd told her I was goof with cats. She had a feral mother with a somewhat new litter. I simply sat with the kittens while they hid, spoke softly to them, and so on. I only went over once. Apparently, she was able to later befriend the kittens, though the mom was still cautious and wouldn't do more than accept food. The kittens were probably about 5 or 6 weeks old when I went, I'd guess. Perfect time to work with them. I feel horrible for feral cat populations, as much or even more than strays. Ferals will, more often than not; never find a home and will simply be killed or trapped. Strays are generally more approachable and adoptable. It's really not fair. I was just watching a show on pollution and the true impact it has. Now this. Us humans are truly lost. We need help.

One of my triggers is when cat owners let their pet outside with no consideration of how bad they can be for the environment. Foŕ example, a good friend of mine bragged to me about how her cat is so good at catching lizards, birds, and butterflies. I was appalled. That was someone who I had respected. And I witnessed a neighbor's cat snatch a sleeping bird right out of it's nest at night. It was a terrible scene. The cat wasn't even hungry because I had already fed him. (Again, he's the neighbor's cat.) On the plus side, though, that same neighbor and I have removed all of the feral femalè cats from our area. I tamed them by accident because I was taking care of them. I taught them how to be petted and enjoy human company. One mama we found a home for before she had her babies. Now that mama and her babies are all in loving homes rather than running wild. Two of the mamas decided to walk into my neighbor's home and raise their babies there. I now have 2 of their babies adopted into my home. (Inside only and spayed and vaccinated, of course.) The neighbor kept 1 kitten and isn't letting him outside until he is neutered. The mamas went to the shelter after they were close to fully tamed so they could be spayed and adopted into homes instead of just getting pregnant again. And the last feral girl is now in the neighbor's home until we can have her spayed. So, even though the neighbor sadly lers her cat hunt as he pleases, we are still doing our part to reducing the feral cat population, for the environment, and for the safety of the cats.

I don’t know. Even though they started out domesticating themselves, at this point, the ancestors of those cats are no longer the same wildcats they were. They can thrive and feral colonies in cities, but their ancestors thrived as solitary creatures in Africa and Asia. With what we’ve done with cats and selective breeding, feral cats would not be able to exist in those places anymore today, at least easily. Many no longer have the fur patterns of the African cats they came from to blend in with their surroundings. I do think that we have made feral cats a huge problem in many places.

The thing is, at this point, I think trying to eliminate invasive species is a losing battle. The best we can do is simply continue to reintroduce native species and even introduce more invasive species to suffering ecosystems as crazy as it sounds, in hopes that maybe they will rebalence them out like introducing Dingos did for Australia and reintroducing Wolves did for Yellowstone. Only this time I wouldn't be by accident.

There is an interesting thing that probably connects to the topic: Dollo's law. It is about the fact that a species can't go back to its "previous form", but instead it always evolves into a new one (that might resemble a previous one, for example, whales and fish). So every feral animal or plant eventually becomes something new, none of them evolve back to their actual ancestor.

If you're so worried about super pigs, wait until they become hyper pigs

3:56, this is not an accurate representation of natural selection and is vague enough to be misinterpreted as Lamarkianism. it would be more accurate to say for a given biome and/or environment the organisms most suited to that environment are more likely to pass on genes, thus naturally selecting for traits advantageous for that given environment/biome. To say they "adapt" without the added context of those that survive and thus pass on genes are the "selected ones". The only real difference between natural and artificial selection is humans are intentionally controlling the given environment to select for those most suited for it.
