To not care that my cat craps in neighbours gardens

I have cats.

They go outside (as they should).

They probably shit I the neighbours garden but mostly they seem to shit in our garden.

I suspect they kill small furry animals too and I know they do as well as birds

As do lions, tigers, lynxes, snow leopards, blah blah.

I don't approve of "indoor" cats.

A deer isn't a small furry
Very true. They generally don't kill deer, that was just an extreme example. Mine would never be able to take a deer down as she is too small.

Rich is your dog called Fenton?

I am just back from a park run - guess what I had to dodge on the paths and fields ????

(Clue - not cat poo)

I believe they can be trained Chaircat. People just aren't realising their potential. As was said on a previous thread they can be trained like dogs or humans. There is no for cat poo to be anywhere really.

We had cats when we were growing up that could read and write. People are not ambitious enough. If you expect your cat to shit in the garden, it will shit in the garden. It's about time people stopped trying to keep cats in their place. Sad

My cats speak 3 languages, can cook a mean spag bol and have finally managed to get the hang of driving - very handy when I need more wine

I let my dog of the lead at the top of our cul de scac after her walk. If she spots a cat she does go tearing after it. Im not sure what she would do if she caught one. Probably thank it for the driveway nibbles.
I do think she is part cat though. She likes to lie across the back of the sofa and always likes to lie where the sun is shining in.

Cat shit is not fertiliser. I find cat shit and dead pigeons and birds in my garden. Last summer my children found a dead bird and a mouse under their trampoline. It's not nice for a child to see bird eyeballs hanging out.

Cat owners should make their cats poo before letting them out. They seem to treat them like children other ways, so make them do a poo before they leave the house like you would a child too!

Cats are vermin when they are in places where they aren't welcome. Like foxes, rats and rabbits.

southeastastra · 18/01/2015 11:28

we have crap cats round here, stare at the mice and don't ever catch them. saying that further out i've seen a cat merrily jogging along with a rat in his mouth and one with a large pigeon in it's gob.

so i think the more rats/mice we have the more cats we need. don't over feed them though or they won't help with me mice problem.

I can't stand cats! I think they are one of the most selfish pets anyone can get. If I had a dog and it crapped in my neighbour's garden, you can bet they would be knocking on my door to complain! But it's ok when their cats do it! And in my veg patch! When one person on the street gets a cat, the whole street gets a cat. Hate them!

Would someone please think about the children

Well I'm thinking of the children. I don't want them inhaling cat shit. Smells contain particles. That's cat poo particles going inside you. Sick.

juneau · 18/01/2015 12:12

If I was one of your neighbours I'd gather up all your cat crap and leave it on your doorstep where YOU could you step in it. Is that unreasonable?

NotActuallyAMum · 18/01/2015 12:13

My Dad is a dab hand with his catapult, we got used hearing it 'flick' then hearing the yelp of a cat

He no longer gets cats in his garden, they somehow seem to know they're going to get a stone up their arse if they dare to venture in it

WowserBowser · 18/01/2015 12:15

What is your stance on horse shit BigRed ? Grin

Floggingmolly · 18/01/2015 12:19

Horseshit doesn't contain toxic bacteria. Cat shit (and dog shit, to be fair) does.

BigRedBall · 18/01/2015 12:20

You know my stance on that Wowser Grin. I'm against all forms of excrement left near or around my surroundings.

CharliePan · 18/01/2015 12:22

Tough I didn't forget the smiley at all. Smile

having said that I don't really shoot cats either. just throw stones at them

usualsuspect333 · 18/01/2015 12:36

Horseshit is big though. Great big stinking dollops.

TheWitTank · 18/01/2015 12:36

I unfortunately have to contend with next doors cars shitting on my kitchen extension flat roof Angry. Fucking disgusting. They only shit up there because I have two big dogs so they dare not come down onto the grass. I just use a scoop and toss it over into their extension roof or garden grass ( can access my roof to clean the roof glass window). I clean up my dog's shit. I like cats, but I don't like them using my roof as a fucking toilet. Any hints anyone?

CharliePan · 18/01/2015 12:39

but with horse shit you can collect it, and fashion it into interesting shapes and dry it in the oven for fun. OR is that just where I live?

Sparklingbrook · 18/01/2015 12:41

This thread has gone so predictably. Brilliant. Grin

BigRedBall · 18/01/2015 12:43

Apparently some people on here eat horse shit too. I'm not suprised you'd put it in your oven .
