to think that people shouldn't really have cats?

[gerontius]

Now, just to make this clear, I am not a cat-hater. I'm rather fond of them.

However, given that they crap in other people's gardens, is it not a massively anti-social to have one?

Although if you have the kind which uses its litter tray exclusively fair enough.

I think people shouldn't have babies. Sometimes they are sick in other people's houses. Although if they are the type who is sick in the toilet that is OK.

Now, just to make this clear, I am not a baby-hater. I'm rather fond of them.

I'm kind of with you but how DO you make sure they only use the litter tray.

And if they use the litter tray at home, how do you know they don't crap when they're out and about?

Do you have to folow them at night with a torch?

They've been crapping in peoples gardens for millenia

which is a fairly low-key annoyance compared to destroying the planet and child abuse

so.....meh really

I get a lot more out of my cats than my neighbours get annoyances

Mine only craps in my garden. He is too lazy to go anywhere else

And birds crap on my car and dogs with idiot owners crap everywhere. Drunk people crap in shop doorways. Sheep crap all over national moorland. Fish crap in the sea.

Your point is?

Cats have just as much right to be here as you .....

yes kill them all.

joke: i have two- they shit in MY garden. buggers, i keep telling them "dont shit on your own doorstep".

Most of those things aren't your property? And those are wild animals, not animals which you've chosen to get as pets?

lol @ Doyouwanttoknowasecret

I agree with everything Lauriefairycake just said.

They do have just as much right to be here as me. However, they don't have the right to crap in my garden.

'Drunk people crap in shop doorways' lol.......

I tried to keep a drunk as a pet but the police said I had to untie him and let him go!

I have a kid as a pet

she's way more annoying

she shits more than the cats and is messier

she'll be a right drain on the planet when she grows up to

(as am I and everyone in my species)

My Cat in an indoor only Cat so the only person that has to suffer her crap is me and my family.

YOU SPEW YOUR CONSUMER FUMES IN THEIR ENVIRONMENT ETC ETC

Laurie, will she crap in my garden as a matter of routine when she's an adult?

Oh lol.

I wondered how long it'd be before someone came out with that......

having read some really funny threads on here I can't see the arguement. From what I gathered cats have people, people do not have cats.

I also to my amusesment enjoy having to pretend I haven't seen my neighbour stealthily creeping into my front garden to pick up her cats deposits when she spots the little sod doing it. I have never complained about the crap either. She is lovely.

Oh dear god.......... time for bed methinks!

Wow, you have the nicest neighbour ever Honeydragon.

MMofCheese - unlikely to crap in your garden but she will be irresponsible and refuse to get a job and pay for your pension

Round here we have the cat mafia. One big cat scares all the other cats off, so only he craps my yard. It's like protection crap.

He's the crappo di tutti crappi
