Disgruntled Facebookers took to social media this week to air their fury, following repeated incidences of nuisance cats.

It follows the announcement of a national battle against feral cats earlier this year. 

Fairfax Media in February reported the federal government planned to unleash every weapon in its arsenal to wipe out two million feral cats, in an attempt to save 124 threatened species.

But it’s not just the wild cats causing headaches. 

Jaimee Richens woke to the sound of two cats yowling, in the early hours of Monday morning – an event she said was happening far too often. 

Ms Richens said a typical cat owners were unaware of the damage a pet cat could cause to native wildlife and even other pets.

“I can’t speak for the whole of Wagga but in Glenfield and surrounds, stray, feral and free-roaming cats are a big problem,” Ms Richens said. 

“(They’re) taunting, maiming and killing people’s small pocket pets."

She said cats could reproduce from a young age and could fall pregnant soon after giving birth, contributing to the constant population boom. 

“The majority of my neighbours are well meaning pet carers, but not all of them are,” she said. 

“Finding cat faeces and urine on my garden or on my front door is unacceptable and disgusting.”

Ms Richens said if cat owners were at risk of a fine, they might take their responsibilities seriously. 

Fellow Wagga resident Amanda Wheeler-Bright said the fighting, prowling and mewing was constant and could be heard every night. 

She said the racket often kept her children awake. 

"There’s a few living in the drain,” Ms Wheeler-Bright said.

“People should be looking after their pets and council should be doing something about the strays.”

But Glenfield Road Animal Shelter animal welfare supervisor Julie McPhail said council’s hands were tied when it came to roaming felines.

Ms McPhail said cats could cause environmental and property damage but NSW legislation unfortunately allowed them to roam. 

“There’s nothing we can do,” she said.

“It’s about being responsible … bring your cat in at night and get it desexed.” 

She said it would be nice if cats were controlled the same as dogs, with penalties and restrictions to make owners more aware of their responsibilities.
