It is not only feral cats that affect native wildlife. A woman restrains a cat from chasing seagulls, a magpie, and a kookaburra in her garden by the sea in South Australia. Domestic cats destroy large numbers of native birds in home gardens. Increasingly world -wide cat curfews are being called for. In Australia many council areas have already imposed cat curfews. Typically this means keeping the animal indoors or otherwise confined between sunset and sunrise.
