• A review on the impacts of feral cats (Felis silvestriscatus) in the Canary Islands: implications for the conservation of its endangered fauna (2009, background): “On its, feral cats have been directly responsible for the extinction of numerous mammals (Mellink 1992; Tershy et al. 2002), reptiles (Iverson 1978; Mitchell et al. 2002) and birds (Jehl and Parks 1983; Lever 1994; Veitch 2001).”

• Feral Cats and Biodiversity Conservation: The Urgent Prioritization of Island Management (2013, background): “Feral cats have been known to drive numerous extinc­ tions of endemic vertebrates on islands (Veitch 2001, Nogales et al. 2004) and were included in the list of the 100 worst invasive species (Lowe et al. 2000); feral cats are the most widespread and probably the most damaging of the four…”
• New Zealand island restoration: seabirds, predators, and the importance of history (2010, background): “For example, whereas eradication of cats using ground-based operations on Hauturu took place over 3 years (1977–1980; Veitch 2001), cats were eradicated from Mayor Island (1277 ha) simultaneously with rats in one aerial campaign in 2000 (Hunt & Williams 2000).”
• Bird and rat numbers on Little Barrier Island, New Zealand, over the period of cat eradication 1976–80 (2001, background): “The first real reduction in cat numbers came after the introduction of feline enteritis in 1968, when approximately 50% of the cats were killed (Veitch 2001).”
