Cat-owners just won't be stopped unless laws are introduced. Until then, what can we do to protect our feathered friends from the rabid feline killers?

In Australia cats are losing the PR war in regional areas.

Its not uncommon for towns to have cat-free policies, or cat enclosures.

Occasionally people float the idea of domesticating quolls or other native animals. I like this idea but not sure whether it's feasible.

    In late October 2011, a litter of five spotted-tailed quoll pups was born at Wild Life Sydney in Darling Harbour, Australia. The pups were born to inexperienced parents, both just one year old. The reason for the young parents was because older male quolls can become violent and kill the female if they do not want to mate.

    Great, not only do we have deadly animals they are turning incel.

    I saw a video once saying that some outback towns have bounties on them, not sure if that's still a thing

    I've never heard of that but there are "bounties" on other feral animals from time to time.

    Rather than just open bounties it's much more common to offer contracts to specific pest controllers.

    Contracts to exterminate feral animals including cats in a given area are very common.
