Those articles state that cats are a problem, which I don't doubt, I still doubt the initial assertion that their damage is greater than all other sources combined.

The NYTimes article is of course not peer reviewed and contains outright falsehoods and ridiculous emotional arguments to boot. At least they link to a real paper; of course the problem with "Letters to Nature" is you really can't accurately describe your research in a mere 2 pages, though the short articles do have some usefulness.
