Be sure to tune in to or set your DVR to record ABC News' 20/20 this Friday
September 7, 2012 at 9pm EST to catch ABC President Dr. George Fenwick. Dr.
Fenwick will appear in a segment about domestic cat predation on birds and
other wildlife.

study of house cats that were allowed to roam outdoors. The activities of
the cats were recorded using small video cameras attached to the cats'
collars, leading to some startling results. The issue has recently been
covered by almost 100 newspapers nationwide as well as by CNN, CBS and USA
Today. Members of that study team will also appear on Friday's program.
