Cats are present in 99.9% of all land in Australia and kill about two billion other animals a year. That makes them Australia's most invasive species.

    Won’t stop them from getting themselves run over, or catching FIV or FeLV, or getting mauled by my German shepherd when they hop into my backyard. PLEASE just keep them inside.

      Maybe you should keep your German shepherd indoors to stop it mauling other creatures?

        Dogs need to go outside. Cats don’t. My dogs stay on my property, your cats don’t stay on yours. I don’t want to bury any more cats, so please just keep them inside.

            I let my dogs roam in a relatively small enclosed area where they can’t hurt anyone or anything that doesn’t intrude. They can’t jump the fence, they can’t climb trees. Cats can and do jump fences and climb trees, which is why I’ve had to bury more than one. It’s not like my dogs went into someone else’s yard to pick a fight.
