Just feed and give water to the poor creatures.
After they kill the cats, what are they going to do about the exploding rat population?
Cats, rats, mice, dingos, rabbits. All introduced and invasive. Bats and the monotremes are the only no -marsupial mammals indigenous to Australia. There are marsupial ecological equivalents to rodents, but they really aren’t rodents, per se.
The Aussies have another invasive species, rabbits are a huge problem there too. Saw a couple videos from the 50’s showing rounding them up in a fence and smashing them about with a cricket bat.
