I understand what you're saying but I can't nail her furry little behind to the litter tray. We have a cat/dog flap so all the cats and the dog come and go as they please.

If that's the case you could try some corks.

All animals would prefer to pooh outside, it's their natural environment. Simples (squeak)

Isn't it our natural environment too?

Blimey! I used to think the biggest danger to my cats was the road. Now, after reading some of the raving anti-cat opinions here, I realise they're in more danger from the neighbours.

I'd like to meet the person who has managed to train their cat to stay in their own garden and ask them how they managed it.

Two of my three use the litter tray. The other one uses a patch at the bottom of our garden but we get frequent feline visitors and I've never seen a cat turd in my garden. I have seen loads of fox and badger doings though. Doesn't bother me, I just pick it up and dispose. Simples. If a neighbour did knock and ask me to clean up my cat's poo, I'd don my marigolds and do it. No hysterics required.

If I caught a neighbour of mine taking to my cat with a nine iron, I don't think I could be responsible for my actions.

Exactly! Which is why I asked the questions!

Why is it OK for a cat to go out all day and night and !!!!!! anywhere and everywhere, but it's not OK for a dog to do that?

Why can a cat poo where it wants, but a dog can't?

Why are there signs mentioning fines if your dog fouls, but there are none for cats?

I wish cat owners would be at the other end of their backsides to pick up any mess they make.

There are no laws regarding cats and fouling. A cat holds a unique position in law in that the owner of the cat is not held to be responsible for the consequences of any trespass by the cat. It is an offence to put down poison or set snares for a cat.

Talk to your MP maybe! Although it goes both ways - if a dog gets run over its a criminal offence if not reported i believe - not so for cats... so the cat owners don't have it all their own way!

Really? From your previous posts maybe it's no big surprise.
Read tankgirl1 post !
Should clear up somethings - although they may also "go totally over your head"!

So you understand perfectly what...

...means do you?

I've just read tankgirls post and it makes interesting reading.

And your point is?

I live in a terraced house with neighbours in the street having on average 3 cats each. I`ve now given up trying to have flowers, veg in pots etc cos the cats just ruin them all . I`ve tried everything , believe me, never mind a spray bottle to wet them , i use the hose pipe !!
My neighbour has had to re roof her shed every year cos the cats have scratched it to shreds, not funny !! The cat lovers are`nt paying or offering to pay her for the damage and they did`nt for my lost plants either.
I must admit i`m not bothered the same now i`m plant free but its not my choice .
Its got to the stage now where we are thinking up ways so the cat owners have to pay out for their cats damage ie: smearing grease on our shed roofs, so the cats can trail it into their homes etc hopefully wreck their carpets .

Why delete it? It's still there anyway because I quoted you.

Basically, according to you, I'm stupid because I don't like cats and because one post doesn't make sense to me? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

And it was pathetic.

And immature.

I'm sorry I don't like cats, but you don't like me, so I think that makes us equal doesn't it? :cool:
