Abstract

Several requests for advice on trapping wild cats have been received this season mainly from poultry-farmers, who report heavy losses of chicks. The killers are usually the descendants of domesticated cats which have "gone bush" although occasionally the spotted "native cat" or chuditch will raid poultry houses.
