I am a pom, originally from the north east of England, a cold, wet, miserable, windy place. I was a gamekeeper in my spare time, doing endless vermin control leading up to the shooting season. I would hunt, foxes, cats, rats, stoats, crows, magpies, weasels etc.
Now I live north of the river in Perth, WA, and hunt on a few properties about 1½ hours away near Calingiri. One farmer asked if I could clear the cats off the property. The farm backs on to the army training area (forest) which I know is riddled with cats.
I spent two days there for a total of 21 cats. I have never seen so many cats in my life. They just kept coming.
