But, really, what’s the problem? Are the cats really a nuisance or do you just not like cats?
Good luck with the rats when the cats are gone.
Yes feral cats are a huge issue in some blocks. Our block, which is all ground level has to take several measures to repel feral cats. This includes using vinegar, citrus and other cat repelling items.
Feral cats are noisy and destructive, damaging lawn and gardens. They seem to continuously and copiously copulate with their cacophonous cries and ceaseless caterwauling. It means having to catnap between their conjugal catch ups. It is chaotic.
Here in Victoria, our council provides traps that can be used to catch the cats. Once caught the council either euthanises them or passes them onto a shelter for rehoming.
I love cats and my now deceased cat was a strictly indoor animal. It made for very good neighbourly relations.
