you said it. they’re so invasive it’s disgusting.

It's natural for them to catch birds. I haven't heard of any endangered birds due to cats. However I do think people should keep their cats indoors for the safety of the cats.

​@erin Unfortunately too many owners are irresponsible and don't have the cats fixed which leads to hundreds of unwanted cats.

A worldwide problem !

Would be interesting to know experiences about trapping cats & finer points. First impression is plate adjustment improvement, and whether a "mound" set works well compared to flush or sunken. Plate cover techniques vary. Since the only bit needing movement is the plate, covering the jaws also provides more empty space for cover dirt to collapse & expose the trap. Tucking it over the plate than under the jaws prevents dirt from being clumped at the lower spring lever between the jaws, it's an issue on smaller sized traps. Paper can hold a surprising force. Whether this is an productivity issue is not clear, as only having caught cats as unwanted bycatch mostly (not exclusively) in uncovered traps. Meat bait gets them if targeting, & catnip is a no-brainer. With soft catches, using paired traps is worth considering, anchors a chain length apart to reduce tangles & leverage. Some certainly get shy to cage traps. If using these use very rigid ones, they are like octopus's if any gaps, & will force their way out. Cheap havahart copies have flaws. Plate height & tension weight adjustment aren't shown, or covering a fine set trap safely.

Not nearly as humane as a Vernon Bailey trap

It's a bit suspicious that none of these videos have any Aboriginal people supporting them it's like they're not allowed technology so they don't spill the beans on what's going on
