I missed the recent posting about cats that appears to have caused so much excitement. I don't know what was in there or in the replies and followups - they may well have answered this question. I was wondering whether there are any legal means that one could use during travels that will help reduce the feral cat population. If there was and all travellers used it, imagine the effect on the numbers of those native wildlife destroyers. Wouldn't it be fantastic if there was say a poison that one could leave at all bush campsites that only killed off the feral cats. I am not aware of any such medicine but I would be interested to hear from anyone that does. I believe that feral cats are attracted to recently disturbed soil so perhaps a bait could be buried as this may prevent other native critters from getting at it. I wonder whether there's any research being done on ways to control feral cats - I know there is for cane toads but I imagine that the cats are a bigger menance to our wildlife than toads.
