Way to pick one old story. Sure, there were wide intervals in the uncertainty about the number of cats. Not birds killed. Number of cats that are doing the killing. That still doesn't take away from the main point in that publication that cats make a big impact on birds.
To counter your argument based on one weak data point, I've made it easy it easy for you to realize your premise that 'it was one lousy research project' that has pointed out that cats are a scourge on wildlife, I've given you more research from a variety of locations.

Also, there is no reason to think that humans domesticated cats. It could have been possible that people were habituated to cats coming around and in typical human-centered thinking, people claim that humans domesticated cats and not some other arrangement.
