And i should recall the times my better half has removed apparently vital, HEALTHY birds fr her cat's mouth which it brought back inside the house and was able to recover and fly away post release. A diminished animal cldnt do so, we know that. Also racked w guilt he has taken two birds to wildlife rehabbers in similar circumstances, and the only obvious issue was the bird was punctured by her cat! These are anecdotes but I have every reason to believe it's typical. Let's face it- cats are remarkably efficient predators.
