    I shoot them every chance I get, but they are not easy to find. We had a huge feral cat trapping campaign done in this area as part of the "Cape to City" pest free project, maybe one cat trap every 10ha or so, so it was a massive undertaking. No cats caught on my place at all, although I believe there were almost 50 on the neighbours. But overall the traps seemed to not work well, I heard the major problem was finding a bait that was attractive enough to lure the cats in that also had any longevity. Most of the stuff they used only had a few days of prime life in it, so by the time the cats had got over their cautiosness they no longer wanted to eat the bait.
