At night I hear things on the roof but dont know if its possums, cats, rats, who knows. I dont want to kill them. I cant purchase a cat because we are not allowed animals in our rental. At what point do I need to develop a pest control plan? There is no sign of them in the house. Can I transport them away?

The subject is one that comes up a lot in this blog and other bird blogs, the subject of cats and their effect on wildlife. As most people know cats, both feral and domestic, have a pretty big impact on wild birds and other wildlife, and the effect of mammals is particularly profound in New Zealand.

I have never once seen a cat anywhere in my neighborhood. None of my neighbors have cats and I'm only aware of one dog owner blocks away. We do have a possum and a raccoon that live somewhere on the property. I'm sure most people would say probably a cat. or even this city for that matter. Not even in a window.

I’ve written at length about the specific vulnerability of insular faunas and the catastrophic extinctions caused by the arrival of rats, mice, ferrets, cats and possums (amongst others), here in New Zealand fully half the pre-human bird species were lost. In New Zealand at least public opinion is generally behind 1080.
