The feral cat we have round here is doing a great job of clearing up the
rabbits. Since the feral has moved into the hay shed, I haven't seen any
rabbits grazing round the sheds. It seems to also go down the warrens on
a
regualr basis to clear them out. This feral has already cleaned out a
warren on our creek flats before moving up nearer to the house and farm
sheds so I reckon it's doing much better than 1% of rabbits for prey in
its
diet.

then how many native critters are making it feel nourished as well??

And how could I possibly know that? It's a feral, and like all ferals it
takes off like a rocket at the first sight of a human heaving into view.
That is why it's still alive and not dead and buried. I love birds but the
Currawongs do more damage to the bird population that it seems this cat has
done.
