There are some measures being taken to ensure the cat population does not grow.

"There are a lot of roaming cats and there's a wild cat population as well," he said.

Said they wanted to know how big the cat population was.

The cat population is now larger than the human population on the island.

By 1943, the cat population at the Finca numbered 11.

Although wild dogs also eat cats, it is not known whether this has an impact on the cat populations.

The cat population has jumped by almost 19 percent in the last five years.

Venice has succeeded in controlling its cat population, which is now about 5,000.
