Sorry Sturat, I will have to jump on that one. The part of a cats brain
that tells it to eat is different than the part that tells it to hunt.
Cats will hunt on a full stomach. That is why their kills are often left
on the door step.

You are right of course about the lighthouse keeper being the root of the
problem. There is no question that humans are at fault with the entire
problem. If the cat had not gotten it then a rat probably would have, if
not the rat, then a pig, if not a pig, then a brown tree snake, and so
on.
