The Impact of Domestic Cats on the Domestic Population of European Wildcats
The European wildcat is a protected species in Hungary. Monitoring its distribution, population changes, and assessing its habitat needs are essential for conservation. Additionally, the domestic cat poses a significant threat to the species, and the program investigates its distribution and precise effects. The study also explores the habits of domestic cat owners, contributing to understanding the impact of these cats in the wild (hunting, disease transmission, territory occupation, competition).
