Baiting is not and never will be an environmental solution.  Baits in the 
wild can and will be taken by native animals as well (in particular 
dingoes) and this is no solution.  The only solution for feral cats that 
are believed to be an environmental problem is shooting them.  The US 
solution of trap/desex/release does address the increase in population 
problem, but feral cats live for around 10 - 12 years and that's a long 
time for a feral cat to feed.  

So to truly protect our Austrlian environment, IMHO, is to have strict 
indoor or cat runs outdoors only pet cats, breeding only done by licenced 
breeders that go to homes that are checked and where the kittens are 
already desexed so that these situations cannot arise.  But then 
again,that's Eutopia for cats - nice dream, wonderful if it ever happened, 
but I highly doubt that it will.

Heh thanks :)

Take out the litter to email me.

Women and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should relax and get 
used to the idea.
