Original Title: TIL about feline grooming traps. Used to control invasive cats in Australia, the trap identifies and sprays cats with a toxic gel, which the cat ingests while grooming, eventually killing it. The gel is derived from a chemical that Australian native plans produce and is safe for native animals.
