Cat kills are basically indiscriminate, from anecdotal evidence I'd say that turbine strikes are probably not and certain species are more likely to get hit. In Australia at least there's species who routinely get hit by cars and others which rarely do.
That said, the enormous delta in raw numbers makes this line of argument quite spurious. Wind turbine bird strikes are magnitudes smaller than deaths from domestic cats.
> Collectively, roaming pet cats kill 546 million animals per year in Australia
> Cats kill more than a million birds every day across Australia, according to our new estimate — the first robust attempt to quantify the problem on a nationwide scale.
> By combining data on the cat population, hunting rates and spatial distribution, we calculate that they kill 377 million birds a year.
> a report on bird and avifauna mortality commissioned by AGL
Energy for its Macarthur Wind Farm found that 10.19 birds were killed by each
turbine in a 12 month period. This equates to over 1 400 birds killed at the Macarthur
Wind Farm alone and over 21 000 if extrapolated across the country.
This is likely underestimated due to scavenging but still magnitudes of difference.
