They should be at 9 weeks anyway. What about people who like cats you may as well do the same to dogs or any domestic pet. If they run wild and over populate an area then obviously things need to be addressed. It seems some are talking pets and ferral.

We have a sterilisation programme that is works, here that includes dogs

I feel we should adopt my scheme and include in it politicians.

Now I know you are jesting youb dafty drum

Some pretty "iffy" statistics (and conclusions) in all that, Goldie.
For all we know, the real slaughter could be ten times that amount.

Understandably, given the source, it is worth noting that they focus only on birds and totally ignore the absolute minimum of 220 million other creatures tortured and killed.
It seems too that they acknowledge only the carnage caused by domestic cats - not strays and ferals which, going unfed, must kill to survive.

Frankly, I concede that your average well cared-for house cat probably does comparatively little damage.
It is all those strays and ferals and "roamers" - and all their many progeny - which I believe should be destroyed on sight.

Whether they impact dramatically on overall bird populations, to me is almost irrelevant.
I care for the hundreds of millions of creatures which suffer unnecessarily whether the species as a whole is at risk or not.

As you agreed earlier, the situation appears far more drastic in Aus.
Here, they have rendered several species totally extinct - gone forever.

I agree about ferrals Pum and good neutering policies have found to work as here in Lanzarote. It is expected to be no stray cats within 2 years. All male domestic cats must be neutered. House cats with strict guidelines will only be allowed. As it happens the Canarians tend not to like cats. It's the ex pats that are the problem. We brought out cat from the UK and he was monitored. I never have agreed that cats should be left to wander.

I do understand it has got out of hand in Australia and sympathise.

I see that the last line of my suggested action has been ignored. Something should be done before the world is over run with parasites.

Bit extreme catgate. Animals have always lived with man.

I think that is not particularly important.

The most important thing is just that they are cats.

The article is about Tigers though. You Tinkers trying to bring in the domestic variety. whistle

your header doesn't specify the size of the cat!! cool

The thing is you would not have had a problem with cats then either. At 10 I would have introduced a sterilisation policy

I would have been more famous than Dame Edna.
