A Brisbane student has put out a call across the South-East for cat poo as part of a research project to determine the impact of domestic cats on the local environment.

Griffith University student Hannah Piccolo wants Brisbane and Gold Coast residents to participate in an online survey to reveal the roaming and hunting patterns of local felines.

Ms Piccolo said “the data will hopefully be able to provide better information to cat owners and to local councils to inform the development of strategies to manage urban native wildlife populations.”
