Kathryn,
Thanks for posting this. New technology is opening up interesting research opportunities.
Whenever we see small animals present in habitat, we naturally assume they are there to feed and gain sustenance there. That is a reasonable assumption often borne out by complementary observations which support the presumption.
I see no reason why it is not logical to assume the same about cats –until we have good evidence to the contrary.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Cat tracker project underway in suburban SA
For those interested in the cat containment debate - this fascinating project in SA is tracking the roaming patterns of a group of domestic cats in the suburbs.
You can also view the individual cat tracks - click on view track under each cat
Some moggies roam in their immediate neighbourhood but others like MonMon, Frizzle and BruceWillis had some long forays to suburb edge and beyond.
