Hi, I am currently undertaking a literature review of the barriers and benefits of keeping cats indoors at night. I did the introductory training back in 2015 and recall several cases and research on this topic and a few others looking into doing similar projects. Any suggestions on papers, and how many to review etc? Thank you.

On a similar topic, if you know of any research that looks at whether cats kill more birds and lizards during the day verses night time I am looking for that? Anecdotally it seems cats go for rodents at night, birds more during the day and lizards at dusk...
Hi there,
In New Zealand the Morgan Foundation has done this work. I don't know if it is a shining example of how to advocate, but the attached research may help you start. Jo

Hi Kirstie, Try talking to Lynette McLeod at the Invasive Animals CRC / University of New England. She's been working with us and a number of Councils on this.
