HI
I think they have been a problem for a long time as I remember a TV
show, in black and white, showing the skeleton of a cat at a dry water
hole on top of lots of bird bits as it was the last to die after killing
many birds that came to drink then was stuck there when the water hole
was drying and it ran out of food.
When I was young and visited a farm for the Xmas holidays near Port
Lincoln in the early 1950s I had the job of culling the cats by drowning
the kittens and trapping the adults, kept me in a job for 4 years.
Rabbits were in plague proportions then and mice plagues common.
Cheers Chris

Feral cats have been increasingly in the news over the last few years. I'm
interested to know if this is due to recent discoveries about the effect
they're having, or is it that they've recently spread to areas where they've
never been before?
