You should also read about the war on the rabbits which also included fencing and "mass destruction."![]()

Cheers, read about it, one fence was over 1800 milometres long [which you know], there is occasionally on the BBC news stories about problems in Australia with animals, seems there are 2 types of animals there, the first are the most dangerous things in the world, as if God said "these are to dangerous, lets put them all on one Island, it does seem that nearly indigenous animal can kill you. When the Europeans arrived they brought cats, rabbits, foxs, cane toads, etc, then there were camels, plus some ants which are now causing problems. The rabbit problem is an incredible story, considering it was 1788 when the first ones arrived and the fences were only started in 1902......... Saw this pic of a feral cat, which i saw stats saying they are the main cause of problems for farmers, now that is one big Kiddy cat.You just have to go and see the 'Vermin Proof Fence' if you ever get 'down under..... still maintained (in places)

Hi, never heard of calling a 'Kitty Cat', must be a UK think.Nope, never heard of a 'milometre' or a 'kiddy' cat, must be peculiar to Britain.
Hi, never heard of calling a 'Kitty Cat', must be a UK thing to say. We do have a cat food called Kitty Kat, looked the phrase up and it refers to refers to the kitten and juvenile stages in a cats lifecycle. Big fan of cats, the more i meet people, the more i like cats [and dogs]. as i get older i think Noah had the right idea.
Milometre, on that i think the system may have changed it or my 'fat finger' typing.
