The Australian government is seeking public feedback on a plan to address the issue of feral cats, which are responsible for killing billions of native animals each year. The proposed strategies include regional laws imposing curfews on pet cats and requiring owners to keep them indoors. The plan also suggests implementing neutering requirements and limits on the number of cats per household. While some argue that the research on the ecological impact of cats is weak, authorities in Australia believe that feral cats pose a significant threat to native wildlife and are taking action to reduce their population.

Despite the inconvenience, Prettyman recommends continuing the restrictions to prevent the overrun of large volumes of juveniles in the town.
