So, there're some really Serious Cats in Australia?

Why is that a problem?   New Orleans, Memphis, Kansas City and St. Louis have all had some Kool Cats for almost a century and it hasn't been a problem.

After Bill Clinton visited there, the population of cats owned by young pretty women declined by 100%

When in Florida I saw an iguana. I asked the guide if they were indigenous. He said “F’ no. Like 70% of the crap in this swamp they got loose here. By the way, watch out for that boa while I shoot the SOB.”

I remember New Zealand had the same problem back in the 80’s because NZ had no predators to keep the population down.
The government had a rabbit hunt with a bounty paid on each rabbit killed.
PETA went absolutely bonkers!

I remember Rush making fun of PETA by playing the theme from the Born Free movie with gunfire sprinkled through it.
It was pretty funny.

America has a feral problem too. Except most of them are aspiring rappers.

“gee, if cats cover 99.8 of the Aussie ground mass, that leaves only 0.2 percent of the space for people....”

My thoughts exactly! Poorly written article.

......serious cat problem......

Yeah, I hate it when cats get serious. I much prefer the playful kitty types. Except maybe Grumpy Cat. He's kind of cool.

The Greek Isles are full of feral cats.....it,s disgusting.

No. What's disgusting is someone who is consumed with cat hatred. BTW: A common trait amongst mass murderers.

It seems like Australians caused this problem and road blocked the means to deal with it.
If you are going to put a bounty on a critter then you also have to let people own firearms. Going after critters with rocks just won’t work.

Any outdoor cat is fair game anywhere.

Non-native invasive species, carriers of dozens of zoonotic diseases.

They’re called HOUSE cats for a reason.

Time to take a lesson from the Dems and not let a perfectly good crisis go to waste.
