I am not sure if licensing cats is the answer – cats, dogs and some birds are “accepted” pets. I say “accepted” because RSPCA (One of the largest animal groups in Australia) really ONLY caters for those three animals. As such there are so many out there in Suburb land it is practically impossible to enforce.
I am more for keeping cats indoors/locked up or on leash 24 hours a day. To enforce – set up shelters that take Humanly trapped cats – euthanasia the un-registered (Non-micro tagged/registered) and fine the owner (Starting at a nominal fine of say $20) for letting their registered cat out.
You will find there will be people who will happily humanly trap cats in their back yard any time of the day or night and put them into the scheme. Just look on this board.
I have a question for you all – Are cats native to Australia? Please define native before you answer the question….
