"Deadly pussies kill more often than owners think"

"Housecats should be kept inside more often to keep them from their daily killing sprees, a study shows. Those cute kittens whose faces are peer from endless posts on Pinterest are actually predators, and a third of those trailed in a county in Georgia are wandering around outdoors capturing and killing other animals.

The army of assassins was discovered by folks from the University of Georgia and the National Geographic Socity, who strapped video cameras around the necks of 60 cats to record their atrocities for a year in a project known as KittyCam.

'The results were certainly surprising, if not startling,' said Kerrie Anne Loyd of the University of Georgia, lead author of the study."
