lol, not a problem at all.
Cats don't actually kill that many rabbits, if at all.
1% of prey at best

not really lol IMO - the rest (the remaining 99%) are marsupials, birds,
small otherwise healthy species not helped by this predation..


The now deceased feral cat did not get the rabbits that often visit here
(dunghills in yard) and the dogs did not mind the rabbits either, though
they have been going off at the roos visiting the last few nights. I hate
to say it but I prefer rabbits to feral cats. At least we used to make a
few quid catching the blighters, and rabbit stew aint too bad either. The
drought is not over out here yet.

Try some Jack Russells. They aren't as effective as the feral cat but
they did get quite a few rabbits.

Sorry but SWMBO likes her dogs on the larger side. After having a heeler,
would not have another breed. Absolutely devoted & protective and the dog
adores the new grandson 10 weeks old and thriving. Apart from being ball
crazy and at times scatterbrained the 7yo (spayed) bitch is a pearl.
