It's not possible to measure how much wildlife specifically domestic cats kill so that statistic is actually from all cats, which include strays. I'm not saying you're wrong, or that this means you should leave your cat out but it's important to be accurate.

"Domestic cat" is referring to the species Felis catus. Strays and ferals are still the same species, just at different levels of human habituation.

Ah, shit. You're right.
