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 still think spotty goady teens.

Apparently not if you do an advanced search on the names.

don't let them upset you guys, just stupid idiots on a key board. here have xx

oh bloody cat.... hope not soup that's scary.

good idea re spreadsheet.

Oh dear, never move to the countryside then. I assure you that people like toads friend exist!

Seems vile people are everywhere Jazz.

How about people like you then, vtechjazz?

My cats say they think toads are twats.

My cats would eat a toad for breakfast and then shit it out in a cat shooters garden!

yes but very few I hope LST

not sure what you mean by countryside there jazz I have several farmer mates and while they regard foxes as fair game to shoot they have pet cats to keep rats out.

no sensible farmer regards cats as vermin chik, I suggest you and your friends are just a bit well stupid to put it nicely.

A bit stupid? I think maybe a lot more than that!

LST nicely put and I will up that to twatty cunts.

I came back on this thread because DD is still ill and I need something to do can't stay away and I have to admit that Autumn's post, I have just returned to this thread and laughed out loud. Not at blind children though. has to be my favourite mumsnet quote ever! and sums up my thoughts beautifully!
Good morning all, I can now relax having cleared the humungous piles of cat shit out of my garden!

What if the cat that clearly wasn't shot by Toad's well hard mate belonged to a blind child? What then, eh?

Hope your DD is better soon, Just.

Omg, an anecdote from a mumsnetter must mean I'm mistaken and no gamekeeper has ever killed cats for decimating their stock.

But if the cat was shitting everywhere Autumn it could be called Karma!

Thanks - not sure whether to take her shopping today. It's my one day off and I genuinely don't know whether I will get another one before Christmas! Have loads to do, and not even any everyday food in the house. (total thread derail)

surreal thread really. hope babyJust better soon.

a gamekeeper ooh tally hoo old bean.

just you be careful leaving a house unattended these days.

you will get back to find locks changed and the cat sat smoking a ciggi and swigging gin watching Jeremy Kyle while the kittens wreaking the neighbours garden with deadly cat shit.

thebody I am meant to be working and the sniggering I am producing due to your posts is making me sneeze

And bloody hell Jazz what sort of domestic cat takes down a cow or sheep?

I'm thinking about rounding up all the strays, and starting my own cat-hunting safari park.

Hurray vtech is back on form today! What livestock was the cat decimating?
