3 Or are they somehow going out into some nature protecting areas?'" Roland Kays from North Carolina State University said.
Together with coworkers in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, Kays gave small GPS trackers(追踪器) to people to study cats with owners.

But the others were homebodies, rarely walking more than a hundred metres from home. In other words, they used their own backyards, plus those of a few neighbours, as their hunting grounds. The findings are in the magazine Animal Conservation.
