What is the best way to get rid of the cat population in my area where I live?

I think the best thing to do would be to contact your local wildlife authority and ask about the removal of the cats. But if you are in fact asking about killing the cats in the neighborhood, I don’t recommend that you do that yourself. Also, you might have to wait for someone else to do it for you, if your local authority doesn’t already exist. There is a lot of evidence that cats are good for the ecosystem, and even if you’re not worried about other animals, you might want to think carefully about the role of cats in the local ecosystem. Also, killing cats just seems kind of sad and weird to me.
