to want to cry on hearing my neighbour is going to get another cat..

[Justonemorecardi]

My neighbour had two cats until the summer when they moved out for 3 months while their house was renovated. They came back daily to feed them but one went missing in the trauma of it all and never came back.

The other cat comes for its daily poo in my garden and I've been out gardening this weekend and there is a whole winters worth of poo in my borders and under our kitchen staircase (external spiral thing with plants underneath) - its disgusting.

Last year I told her what was happening and she just listened but said she didn't know what to do about it and her husband just stood their pretending to vomit.

I've just heard they're planning to buy another cat to replace the missing one - I want to cry. Why can't they train the cats to go in a litter tray? Surely if you live in a city its obvious it has to poo in someone's garden, so its antisocial and selfish to not train it?

It's like Groundhog Day Autumn.

Do groundhogs shit in gardens?

I rarely see a more apt username, shitehawk.

I take it you are not objecting to the hawk part of it
Couldn't have put it better myself, I'm not a cat fan if I'm honest but really don't agree with the stuff shitehawk was saying.

No Harold only cats do that. No other animal does that at all.

Bloody groundhogs. Selfish, entitled little bastards, they are. Poison them all with Vicks vaporub.

Woah! Where did bronze come from? Another stalker perhaps....lucky me!

What about trolls, do trolls shit in gardens?

Shite appears whenever cats are around

I only stalk a few people and they know they are

Rest assured Shitehawke I would not waste my time stalking you....

Shite sounds exactly like a teenage boy showing off. If it/they/she has ever put poison down I'd eat my hat.

CatsMother, I hope you didn't think I was having a go! I was just genuinely wondering if that might be the reason.

I do actually like cats! :)

Hope its a nice hat.

Someone say hat?

You'll want to be more careful about posting such things on the internet then, Shitehawke. Won't look very good in court.

Sparkling that was a cute overload.

Proof that cats aren't fazed by citrus fruits

I guess that if people didn't have cats then they'd be feral and we'd still have the same problem anyway.

I've never seen a feral cat in my garden though, just lots of them belonging to neighbours.

A friend lived near feral cats she had to move, it was truly horrific.

Newt I love that link

I have absolutely no interest in cat poo threads.

"I've never seen a feral cat in my garden though, just lots of them belonging to neighbours."

True.

But I'd imagine that if people didn't love them and buy them/rescue strays and get them neutered there would be a lot more feral cats. They would be free to breed everywhere and you'd still have the problem of cats and their poo in your garden, if not worse and they wouldn't be wormed either.
