to think it is totally reasonable for cat owners not to pick up poo

[PMDD]

I mean how can they?

I have 2 cats and now 1 puppy. I watch my puppy when she is out and know where she is, I can see if she is pooing. If she disappears under a bush I check (with my sense of smell) and pick up if necessary. I carry poo bags everywhere.

However, my cats come and go as they please. When they were kittens I had a litter tray that they used, but as they started to go outside with a cat flap, they stopped using the litter tray.

My (ex) neighbour asked me to come and pick up after my cats, but as there are lots and lots of cats in the area, there was no knowing that it was my cats.

I am not a bad pet owner. But I think it is unreasonable to expect cat owners to have the same poo pick up responsibility as dog owners.

I can see the headline in tomorrow's Fail:

'Cat poo epidemic sweeps Britain! Cats to blame for long winter! Cats are all gay! Cats are all asylum seekers! Cats claim 10 bedroom house on benefits! Cats responsible for Diana's death!'

Bit of a long headline, but I think I've encompassed everything I needed

'Cat's responsible for energy price increases' don't forget that, and they are all on drugs.

I never said I wanted all cats turning in to glue or anything! I'd never hurt one. I just hate them. I did once hear that screen wash would solve my problem...

and the recession. those bankers were cats in disguise.

they do attachment parenting in the beginning though! and most breast feed.

Yeahbut of course seriously no cat owner would mind you squirting their cat with water but some posters up thread were absolutely vile.

real animal cruelty. teaching their kids to be cruel too.

really sickening stuff.

Yes yeah it wasnt you I had in mind either

I heard that those bloody bastard cats were exempt from paying bedroom tax. What a bunch of wankers they and their owners are.

Breast feed? They all ff by me - the selfish gits.

And they're all SAHM/WOHMs too (delete as preferred).

Cunts, the lot of them.

Nail 'em up!

Maybe we should do to them what they suggested?? Mwahahahaha!

YY they do prefer to BF that's true, and co-sleeping is big in the cat world. But they do get to kick their young out at about ten weeks.

Let's just hope the hilarity of blinded children never visits your houses then. Epic lols to be had then, I'm sure.

No, Sparkling, only the naice ones BF. The chavvy ones all ff. And then the posh ones get fed 'Sheba' and the chavvy ones get Kitekat - from tins! That's how it goes, y'know.

You can spot a chav cat by its blinged-up collar!

Oh good, vtech is back with more scaremongering nonsense.

Any proof of all these blinded children Vtech? Statistics? News stories?

Wow. This is getting serious. You had to mention the co-sleeping cats didn't you Sparkling. Don't you know it makes the poor bastards go blind?

Vtech, as I'm sure you are full aware, nobody is laughing at blind children. (I can't believe I've just typed that sentence).

I do love kitkats though.
Just saying. I don't hate all kats.

I think you might be one of my favourite posters ever vtech

Fieta I have a dog that could trump yours though rescue, a 28kg Pitbull, so I trump your threat except I am a normal human

I wasn't aware I was making a threat. I clearly said I would do everything to avoid an incident, just like when I was using a weedkiller that was harmful for animals I went and informed the neighbours we'd be using it.

I am so far from being a cat fan. I have never once on this thread even intimated I would ever, EVER harm one.

I caught chav from stroking a cat once It was awful. I couldn't leave the house without 3 inches of orange make up and could only eat pasties for weeks.

I'm cured now

I was walking home once (and this is completely true) and saw a teenage boy walking up to a house, doing the broken leg walk they do, towards a cat. I was all ready to shout at him if he tried to grab/hurt the cat.

He bent his head and the cat was rubbing against his face! Goes to show, you truly can't judge by the cover. It was a lovely moment. I went 'awwww' to myself. Then had him arrested.

Let us hope the hilarity of blinded children never visits your home...

:o :o :o

And no I'm not grinning because I think children being blind is funny. Strangely.

yeah but all the cats I know are single mothers. where's the daddy aye?

and kittens all colours of the rainbow too.

disgusting.

Oh yes, we had a cat that had mixed race kittens. All ginger and white they were - discusting. There was also a sort of tawny coloured one in there too. May have been different Dads. And the Dad just used to turn up when he felt like it to see them - never contributed a single pouch of Whiskas though, the scrounging, workshy layabout.

I bet they all claim benefits. Just you watch, they'll be appearing on Jeremy Kyle soon

Don't you mean 'Gingermy Kyle', the famous cat taunter interviewer?
