Israel has an enormous population of feral and quasi-feral cats (there are also indigenous species of felines in the uninhabited areas of the country).
Israelis complain about the problem. They have the govt issue reports and form task forces which issue guidelines and regulations that almost nobody follows.
Israelis also prevent solutions. A 1999 law makes poisoning cats illegal. People feed feral cats (some of the feeders of cats are tourists so its not all the fault of Israelis). My daughter had a friend who was offered a job killing cats who had been captured by the animal control force. She quit it after a few days. It may be because cats as so cute.
An article on the problem by the Israel Minister of the Environment is here. The image is from that site.
