Estimated one million cats prowl streets of Cyprus as officials scramble to check their numbers (Video)

Officials in Cyprus, the small island nation in the eastern corner of the Mediterranean, estimate there is roughly one feral cat for every one of its one million inhabitants though activists contend the actual population is hundreds of thousands higher. In late September, the islands parliamentary committee on the environment was told that an existing sterilization program is too limited to contain the burgeoning cat population.
