CATS

[peterperfection]

Cant see why normal people need to invest in expensive things to keep other peoples flearidden cats from crapping in their gardens .

I must admit- the old fashioned method seems the cheapest and best --even though I couldn't bring myself to actually do it .
One .22 pellet right up the cats ringpiece (with the help of telescopic sights--to give greater accuracy). Much cheaper and more effective method .
Every so often- we read about it in the papers --poor little tiddles or Fluffy- has stumbled into its house with a wound .
I really can understand why people resort to that method --especially after having to remove other peoples cat crap EVERY day from flower beds and lawns .
Yesterday afternoon-- 4 dollops of the stuff and 2 chewed up fledglings in my front garden.
We just get sick of it- .

ps - why oh why does anyone want 10 cats ?.

That woman who picked up that cat and put it into a dustbin-- now- that WAS funny.

Then you're sick, you only think and care about yourself, I couldn't do that to any animals. Animals have the same rights as humans on this planet therefore you don't own this planet

This talk of shooting cats is despicable, especially when there are more humane ways of dealing with the problem.

Last year, when we were having a new porch built on the front of our house, we had problems with next door's cat coming into the (still open) site and crap ping on the ground - and it stank. It did this regularly for a couple of days, so must have thought it had found a permanent and convenient toilet.

We bought an ultrasonic cat (and fox) scarer and it hasn't shown its face (or backside) since.

Because 11 are too many,and 9 not enough.

I need something like that for our now resident heron

Yes, we've had heron visitations too. A net over the pond eventually put them off.

Don't have a pond,simples.

I think it needs to be bigger giving the fish a better chance of hiding from the bugger.

My wife was horrified when I first got a cat in, now I have 10, she was scared of them, but now, amazingly she is a transformed lover, Peterperfect we need to lock you up in a room full of cats for 48hrs! with your legs and hands tied behind your back! and we are going to put cat food on your face so that these moggies can lick it off your face!

My mrs was a dog lover and not too keen on cats but I decided to get one as we'd always had them in the family house, now she is converted to a cat lover and the cat even likes her more then me. I think most people if they get one will be transformed too.

We will get a dog as well after the house is finished though.

People who live with cats- DONT smell them (or their secret little deposits in the corner-on a carpet) .

You just dont 'get it'--do you ?.

I rest my case.

You can rest whatever cases you like. There are no deposits on my carpets.

I am renowned in my family for my excellent sense of smell. I have visited customers and told them they have a leaking gas meter nobody has noticed for years. I even came to a house once where a teenager was smoking a spliff out of his back bedroom window with his upstairs bedroom door shut.

I told the Mum I could smell smoke (as I was worried about fire) and she got a real shock to discover the source....

Even if you become accustomed, as you believe, to a smell, if you go out into the fresh air for a time then return, you'll notice a smell once you cross the threshold. If you don't, then your sense of smell really is kaput. Mine, thankfully, is not. And my house does not smell of cat.

I have this as well, good olfactory perception. Always notice a smell in the house when we return after a day, usually the wood fire smell even when its not been on.

Cats do smell neutral usually, ours sometimes smells dusty if its been up in the loft when Im there or smells nice if it sleeps in the washed clothes basket.

Mine doesn’t poo in other peoples gardens but then she’s quite old, (~12 years), so doesn’t have the agility to leap everywhere. She doesn’t even do it on my own garden but at the side in the bushes where it’s more composty. I get the feeling that if there was a proper loo she’d flush it. I believe, so I am told, that cats which are spayed or neutered don’t have the same yearning for territorial rights.

It took ages to get her to use my cat flap. She’d head butt my coffee table but the gentle push needed to open the flimsy flap was too much for her.

She got there eventually though, which I was pleased about because it’s one of those which unlocks when it senses the microchip in her neck. (Special offer of £65) I found other cats were coming in and helping themselves to her grub when I was at work or in bed.

I too have a good nose for nasty niffs and agree that cats simply do not stink! Far from; mine smells like a bed of roses, and that’s not me being blinkered by my love for her. She often naps on my bed at night, early morning, and it’s really nice.

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.

I wouldn’t be without her now and she’s a great listener. To be more serious, I think the way humans treat all animals is disgusting and we can learn a lot from them. I also think they are good for children. My daughter had a pet rat, called Pip, and that was really cute. I think it taught her responsibility, care and ultimately about losing a loved one. The kids today are more concerned with getting the blue ring light of death from their stupid X-Box.

Me sick ? yes- totally correct.
I am SICK of turning up cat turds every time I do a bit in the garden.
I am sick of smelling foul cat crap every time I open my front door.
I am sick of seeing neighbours let their cats out every morning -and leave them out all day to wreak havoc on other peoples property.
I am sick of putting 'well chewed fledglings and small birds' into my dustbin.
Cal me what you like - but let me tell you this -- I like pets and I care about them-- so much so- that when I pass away I have left a sum to PDSA. THAT IS FACT.

Not so sick huh ?.


If PDSA just had a all pets 'except cats' dept--that would suit me just fine -and I would change my will to suit.

In my opinion- cat owners are strange people . They want the comfort of a living animal besides them- without the responsibilty of having to look after it 24/7.
Dog owners on the other hand are people who care and give the time to properly look after a pet ..

 

[longdogs]

ANY house I have been into where a cat lives- stinks to high heavens .

You clearly know nothing.

Go away and learn something.

We have a cat and our house does not stink.

.

So you 'THINK'.

People who live with cats- DONT smell them (or their secret little deposits in the corner-on a carpet) .

I rest my case.

I've got two cats (had three up until a short while ago) and yes, it does smell when they use the litter box but then it also smells when I use the toilet. (Does your shyte not smell?).

You can't 'rest your case' unless you prove something - which you havn't.

The only cra*p I can smell at the moment is the cr*p that you come out with.

Obviously you are not happy with only half the forum members thinking you are an idiot and you are trying to recruit more people.

Oh well, bring it on.

Then you will be guilty of an offence.

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.

So, you could be in a whole heap of trouble doing that!
