Agree there Greg Both NZ and British experiments have shown that privately owned cats roam up to 3 km and take prey at that distance from the home they live in. In the NZ study it was two farm cats that finished off the rabbits in an experimental exclosure, after the wild predators gave up after reducing the rabbit (live bait) numbers to about 8. It is wild cats that reduce my swiftlet colonies in Nth Qld down to about 5-10 pairs, from 100-400 pairs. Takes them a long time to rebuild.
