"Pure carnivore" isn't a sufficient reason for felids to go extinct, considering that prey, in the form of rats, insectivores, et cetera, will do just fine in a pollution-induced extinction event. |

Well even thought there was plenty of small mammals and invertebrates for the small , cat sized predatory dinosaurs they still went extinct. |

The K-T extinction and man-made extinctions are hardly comparable. |

Don't underestimate the power of pollution , cause it could easily poison the ear enough that large animals could not survive and also do other stuff to the small ones too.

I think you're overestimating it, given that rats, snakes, cats, dogs, birds, butterflies, et cetera, survive just fine in New York. Short of turning the entire planet into a freaking waste dump, you've overdone the extinction. You've basically made an expy of the K-T, which was caused by six mile long asteroid hitting the Earth and causing the natural equivalent of nuclear winter for the period of several years. |

Well, these are my opinions.
if the mass extinction is caused by humans would be more bat species extinct, as we are affecting the environment around them
I do not understand, because cats would have to be a relic isolated on an island. on the contrary, would have a variety of cats after an event like you describe Edited by dragontunders, Oct 22 2013, 01:53 AM.

For that matter, we are left with the question of how we managed to drive all fruit bats extinct, despite the fact that flying foxes are charismatic megafauna capable of living in disturbed areas by eating fruit trees. |

addition, there are nearly 180 species of fruit bats, and only some are endangered. could easily survive

Cats went extinct in the mainland just like the non avian dinosaurs did (I mean the small , cat sized ones). Also , the pollution which caused the mass extinction is far larger than today's pollution (I mean grey , smogy skies , acid rain being a common rain , oxygen level fall from 20 to 15% and other stuff). |
