This study aimed to provide information about the amount, diversity, and frequency of prey that the cats captured to identify the predatory impact of domestic cats in peri-urban areas. We present the results of the prey return, whether the prey was brought alive or not, and whether it was eaten or not. We further provide information about the predation frequency of domestic cats concerning circadian activity according to weather conditions and air temperature. The frequencies of various taxonomic groups of prey captured were described in relation to land use in a location and species' biology. Our results include a total of 50 records of 12 species (3 species of birds and 9 of mammals). Domestic cats were more active during the mornings and on days without rain, and the frequency of bringing home prey increased with higher temperaturesMed 13. marcem in 1. majem 2023 smo v dveh stanovanjskih naseljih v bližini Maribora v Sloveniji izvajali popis plena domačih mačk, prinesenega domov. Namen te študije je bil pridobiti informacije o količini, raznolikosti in pogostosti plena, ki so ga mačke uplenile, ter s tem ovrednotiti plenilski vpliv domačih mačk v primestnih območjih. Predstavljamo rezultate o prinesenem plenu ter ali je bil plen prinesen lastnikom živ ali ne in ali je bil konzumiran ali ne. Nadalje podajamo informacije o plenilskih aktivnostih domačih mačk čez dan, glede na vremenske razmere in temperaturo zraka. Opisane so bile pogostnosti različnih taksonomskih skupin ulovljenega plena glede na rabo tal na lokaciji in biologijo vrste. Naši rezultati kažejo, da je bilo uplenjenih 50 živali, ki so pripadale 12-im vrstam (3 ptice in 9 sesalcev). Domače mačke so bile bolj aktivne zjutraj, v dneh brez dežja, pogostost prinašanja plena pa se je z višjimi temperaturami povečalaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaDruštvo biologov Slovenije
