What Legge meant by that, the University of Queensland summary of her findings explained, was that «in addition to strategic cat control in bushland areas,» where cats have already long been massacred as rapidly as they can be found, «there is a need to address feral cats in heavily urbanized areas where their population density could be 30 times higher than in natural environments.»

We argue that the behavioural capacity of feral cats to undertake long - distance excursions to exploit transient hunting opportunities results in significantly higher total predator pressure on prey, and helps to explain how low - density cat populations could have large impacts on small - mammal abundance at landscape scales.
