Answer: will try and look after I've made dinner [running a little late today - if anyone else happens to know the answer, or has the time to pop off round their estate to ask the gamekeeper then this will be very handy!]

From our friend Wiki-


When a feral colony grows to a large size, those living or working nearby might consider the presence of a locally concentrated cat population to be a nuisance. Complaints made include:

• Urine spraying to mark territory
• Digging in gardens and feces left by the cats
• Noise made by fighting and mating cats
• Predation upon wildlife
• Diseases transmissible to humans (zoonoses)
• Diseases transmissible to pets
• The poor state of health of the cats in the clowder
• The likelihood of population growth
• Being preyed by larger, more dangerous wildlife like feral dogs, coyotes, bobcats, wolves or bears.
