Introduced foxes and cats have had a devastating impact on Australia's mammals. This threat to biodiversity has been widely recognised, documented and acted upon by scientists, policy makers and land managers. Here we refute recent assertions to the contrary.

A new paper in @pacificconsbio.bsky.social reveals that preventing pet cats from roaming remains a significant but important challenge. Our findings reveal that change is long overdue for Western Australians to rethink what it means to be a responsible pet cat owner. OA: doi.org/10.1071/PC25...

Time to paws and reflect: Responsible cat care is the purr-fect move Gillian Bryant and @drbrucewebber.bsky.social from @wafcwg.bsky.social looked at past, current and planned efforts in Western Australia to improve responsible cat ownership #OpenAccess in #PacificConsBio buff.ly/p4chswW

What do WA local governments want when it comes to responsible cat ownership? What have they tried? What do they want to do? What are their challenges? We asked them! 78% of LGAs in WA would do permanent containment for pet cats if there was a clear pathway to implementation. Read the report. 👇

“It is time for Western Australia to enable and encourage local cat laws that enable permanent containment for pet cats” The broader implications of our survey of local governments across WA regarding responsible pet cat ownership. www.watoday.com.au/national/wes...

The cost of permanent containment for pet cats can be cheaper than a single vet bill to cover treating a roaming-related accident (car strike, animal attack). Suitable containment solutions can even be done in a temporary way for renters. Time to rethink the problem. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

Quite possibly one of the clearest summaries as to why change is both possible and necessary for the permanent containment of pet cats in Western Australia. Let's get this change happening now! www.watoday.com.au/national/wes...

Please join us for this important workshop on the how of implementing permanent containment for pet cats. This is all part of the process for moving to a new normal for best practice cat ownership in Western Australia. We hope you can all be part of that change. See you online on the 12th June!

👏 A great turnout at a 🐇 control workshop last week to provide Southwest landholders access to the R5 calicivirus release for introduced rabbits. #feralcats, #foxes & dingoes all consume rabbits as prey and rabbits cause environmental degradation across Australia.

"Not just nestlings were killed...numerous eggs were cracked open & six breeding mothers killed." Tree hollows & food trees used by #endangered #Blackcockatoos are increasingly rare, & it doesn't help their population when #cats add to their demise. #feralcats. www.watoday.com.au/national/wes...
