Tl;dr - a large percentage of the list are birds from Hawaii that clearly didn't survive the introduction of cats. And several more are fresh water mussels probably lost to the zebra mussel invasion.

Once again proving you should never let your cat outside with out a harness on.

I thought they had found a population of ivory billed woodpeckers in Arkansas in 2006?
