Also, cats don't attack people; dogs do.
Dogs also attack and kill larger native birds and mammals.
They are quite a danger.

Perhaps that's because cats don't attack sheep.

I would have thought it was more important to increase the neutering rate
than the confinement rate, but both would be good.
You didn't say what area you're from, Warren. Here in Victoria, cat
registration is compulsory, and it's generally much more expensive for
unneutered cats. A good start, but I don't know how well enforced it is.
I read (here?) that soon neutering will be compulsory in WA.

  From personal experience of dumped cats and a cache of sugar
glider tails in
a corner of a barn and a feral cat in residence just add
strength to my
belief that there should be a bounty paid on all cats not
confined to a cage
and the owners of "domesticated" moggies should confine them
to escape proof
runs.   In this area Council Rangers, National Parks and
RSCPA combined to
attempt to reduce cat numbers on a property where it was
alleged several
hundred cats were being fed  around the house and were
spreading through the
bush. We are forced to take steps to reduce wild dogs on our
properties and
yet we can have a fence to fence carpet of feral cats and no
one cares.
