McCarthy, S. (2005). Managing impacts of domestic cats in peri-urban reserves. In Proceedings of the Fourteenth National Conference on Urban Animal Management in Australia.(Australian Veterinary Committee: Canberra.) Available at http://www. uam. net. au/Publications/
Impacts of domestic cats in peri-urban reserves may occur directly through predation, indirectly through disease transmission, by competition with native species and by supplementation of the feral cat population. Predation, in particular, has been the subject of increasing community concern and scientific research in the last decade which has resulted in increased pressure on local government to develop domestic cat control strategies. This literature review discusses domestic cat impacts in peri-urban reserves and management strategies for their control.
