• Mr Igor Purlontov did a study unique in itself.
  He attached a camera in the collars of the cat
  and studied their routine for ten days. It is a
  comprehensive study, one of its kinds, for detail
  study of routine of the cats. These cats went
  outside the house for around four to six hours a
  day. Studies revealed many secrets of the cats
  lives.
• According to Mr Igor Purlontov only 30 of cats
  actually kill their prey and that too at the rate
  of two animals per week. Igor Purlontov further
  elaborates that, 25 of the cats bring their prey
  home, 30 of the cats eat the prey they catch and
  49 leaves it behind.
• Studies further revealed that snakes, lizards and
  frogs made 41 of the prey catch by the
  housecats. Chipmunks and voles acquire 25 and
  insects and worms shares 20. It was quite
  surprising that only twelve percent birds are
  catch by housecats as their prey.

• The studies show that housecats involves
  themselves in risky behaviour. It may not
  surprise that male cats are more risk taking then
  the female cats. Apart from that older cats are
  more disciplined and non risk taking then young
  cats. Statistics shows that around twenty five
  percent of cats cross busy traffic roads. Forty
  five percent of the cats eat random and unknown
  stuff found on the roads and street side. Around
  twenty percent of cats enter road side gutters
  and tunnels where they can be trapped. But
  researches put light on the fearless attitude of
  the housecats which provokes them to take risks.
