This is a systematic review derived from existing work.

While the models they use are fairly conservative, it seems like figure 2 is pretty telling. 50% of the variance in their estimates comes from the "Unowned cats" parameter - a parameter with which "no empirically derived data exist".

IMO think they are reaching too far on this - but it is a nice elegant, simple study. I look forward to following the letters re: this pub.
