CATS

I just dont like cats that crap in my garden.
Why should anyone have to pick up anyone elses crap ?. That is the point .

Peter I don't think any cats crap in your garden.

If you behave in the real world the way you behave on-line then I guess that it's people that know you that come round and take a dump on your lawn. :LOL:

Well, the sensible suggestions I've had so far are:

- making it wear a 'cat nappy';
- putting on a lead and taking it for a walk.

OK. So far, so good!
 
It’s about tolerance.

I don’t like many things but one man’s meat is another man’s poison. As I’ve said, to me a dog’s bark is not pleasant. If there’s one thing I’ve never understood it’s how, to some people, it’s like The Moonlight Sonata. No it isn’t! It’s more like a loop tape of Thrash Metal FFS!

I’m okay with some barking and even enjoy it as a greeting or during a bit of playful fun; but that’s it! Unfortunately, a dog can bark at its own shadow indefinitely, as indeed many do, so I have to tolerate it.

I hate the kids shouting and screaming in the Spring and Summer months outside my home. I’m sure to their parents, (sperm donors or slags or whatever they are), they are just having a bit of fun. But I wonder how they would like it if I left my motorbike revving outside their house for a few hours? It’s about tolerance and what any one person likes or dislikes.

Other options? Buy a house with land so that my cat can roam without bothering anyone. I can’t afford to do that, so it would become elitist. Maybe keep it on someone else’s land, like a horse? That seems a lot of money for little reward too, and I wouldn’t have the cat nearby so I may as well not have one. Hmmm, now there’s a thought..

Don’t have a cat at all just in order to please posters on forums who don’t like cats taking a dump on their property? I could do that I suppose or just lie about having one, or lie about sticking a nappy on it's bum.

What is land anyway but millions of years of dead and rotting biological matter. Am I the only one here who goes on country walks? The pathways take you through fields of dog crap, cow crap, horse crap, fox crap, headhog crap, sheep crap... and all sodden in animal pi$$. Should we do something about that too?

I watch where I’m going and hopefully avoid it; I don’t complain to horse owners and famers that they haven’t stuck nappies on their animals for my convenience. It’s called tolerance.

To borrow from Shakespeare “for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

Or maybe I’m just surrounded by intolerant to.ssers. I dunno...

Been a few 'missing in action' posts with pics of tiddles and fluffy on lamposts around my parts during last few years .
Even had people knocking at everyones doors- asking where their little poossy has go to.
I always ask- 'when did you see it last'? -- usual answer is ' well he came home a few weeks ago' 'he always vanishes for a few days or a week every so often'. !!

It only takes one night from a pet dog going missing-- before the owners are making same enquiries .
Very often- the dogs turn up pretty quick.
Not so much the cats though.

Seen a few moggies squashed on the roads around here though .
But- most are never seen again .
Why is that ?.
 
Great! That definitely sums up the superiority of cats over dogs!
 
Show me a cat that can guide a blind person from their home to the shops.

You are extolling the virtues of dogs when no one is questioning them.

Dogs are useful, helpful and give comfort to their owners. So do cats, horses, gerbils, spouses....

What's your point which is so great it concludes the debate that dogs are superior, (borrowed from you JBR if you don't mind), and all cats are worthless pets?
 
I'm not extolling the virtues of dogs.

I'm diminishing the useful functionality of cats.

So who wrote this then, in a cat verses dog debate?

Moving on... :rolleyes:

Good for you, but...
I actually never considered having a pet until last year. We always had a family cat but I’ve never had one of my own. I changed my mind because of a near-stroke I had last year and cats are good for helping you chill out. So when my neighbour told me about this one I now have which needed a home because his neighbour was going into a nursing home and had dementia, I took her on.

Ever tried thinking about things from the others person's perspective?
 
Sorry, but I just can't resist.

Cat got your tongue? :D

I'll get my coat..........
 
I never said cats had no use.

In fact I still have my 1980s copy of "101 uses of a dead cat". I shall have to scqn and post.

Cats are fine just keep them on a lead when not on your property and pick up their poops.

No problemo

Good! We agree on something then.

Yes it is a "problemo"!

Cat's don’t like leads, in case you didn't know!

Just because we can get dogs to say "sausages" and get them to do just about any damn thing we tell ‘em to, (which is why they are so loved BTW), and get horses to dance like a gay ballerina in a tutu, they somehow countenance more respect. We should respect ALL animals.

Here’s another truth. When you, (humans), condition, control, imbalance, domesticate and dominate animals, you know what? It’s NOT THEIR FAULT FOR DOING WHAT COMES NATURALLY TO THEM!!!

Does this Board always come alive at this hour? I’m going to bed now, and going to fuss Becks, my ‘demonic’ cat, who’s soporific purr and fuss I look forward to. (Unlike this Board).
