Brilliant! I regularly trap feral cats as an impact reduction strategy in sem arid sclerophilous forests, any tool that can maximise efficiency of target selection using up to date, relevant technology is good to see. It seems that what you have created is a highly evolved tool that is of an inteligent design.
