Tasmanian sheep farmer Greg Squires became interested in trapping feral cats on his property when he began seeing them "out and about in broad daylight".
"I figured if we were seeing them out during the day, then there were a lot of them around," he said.
Mr Squires said he wanted to reduce the number of feral cats in his area, both to protect his stock from the diseases they carry, and protect native wildlife from predation.
