I only ask because feral cats are, quite rightly, classed as vermin and consequently there are a number of avenues available to you to help alleviate the problem.
The ones I have seen are definitely domesticated cats and not feral“Don't raise your voice, improve your argument." - Desmond Tutu

Being domesticated does not mean that they are not feral

My plot is an oasis in a concrete jungle unfortunately, which just makes it more attractive to cats in search of a loo.0 -
op said they wanted to poison a cat, which is viletrollopscarletwoman wrote: »Please show me the post where the OP has admitted to poisoning cats or where he/she definetly intends to.
then someone else said hope same fate befalls you, which is apt, because nobody in their right mind would go around killing cats.0 -
Me too, Andy. Our two cats are indoor only, due to health problems, but I actually have cat mint in our garden and welcome all of the neighbourhood cats to visit. I enjoy making a fuss of them.
I have nine indoor cats, who swipe outdoor cats through the French windows, and make me laugh a lot, all outdoor cats are welcome any time in my garden, my only regret is that there are not more of these cats. All my cats love me and I love them, they entertain me and they've got their own personalities unlike dogs who just want approval - they're the ultimate companion and I felt I had to come on here and defend cats because cats are amazing! All I would say to the OP is don't post about killing cats - they're doing something because they have to, you're put out because your garden doesn't look pristine, hardly warrants a murder does it?0 -
more legal than poisoning a neighbours pet and killing it just cause it went in your garden...ispookie666 wrote: »Loving cats is an individual
Putting prickly things on the fence - Is it legal?0 -
I don't have trouble with them crapping, but the patio is perpetually littered with dead mice and birds. I once rushed out to the kitchen to see what the crash was and found one of them had tipped the rubbish bin over. On another occasion I nearly jumped out of the armchair when one of them peered out from behind the settee.0

Why - because you don't like cleaning litter trays? After all, that's what most gardens are.0 -
