United KingdomA feral cat named 'Nine Lives' that evaded capture for three years has finally been caught and killed in New Zealand, ending its destruction of local wildlife. The cat, a large grey tabby, was responsible for killing dozens of rare brown teal ducks, kiwi chicks, native geckos, and other native animals on the Purerua peninsula. Conservationists from the Pest Free Purerua project worked tirelessly to trap the cat, which proved extremely elusive due to its unpredictable behavior. After repeated failed attempts, the team successfully captured the cat by luring it with food at a quarry. Its body will now be preserved as an educational tool to highlight the dangers posed by feral cats to New Zealand's unique ecosystem.
