There is no silver bullet for Australia s cat problem, but a complete reset of the Federal Government s approach to feline control is needed, according to the final report from the national inquiry into the issue.
Key points:
Australia s 2.8 million feral cats kill close to 3 billion native animals annually
The national feral cat inquiry has recommended further culling and more fenced, predator-free safe havens for native animals
Domestic cats could also face greater scrutiny and tougher restrictions
