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.

I think you need to tell us about the rest of your hobbies, CharliePan.

(Or, on second thoughts, perhaps not. Grin)

usualsuspect333 · 18/01/2015 12:44

Those cats are shitting on your roof and laughing at your dogs.

Cats always win Wink

OOAOML · 18/01/2015 12:44

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!

I think any pet owner should be prepared to take responsibility if the shit produced by their pet is causing other people problems, but I'm bemused by this statement. I don't have a pet, but I do have bowels, and I have two children with bowels, and we move our bowels when we need to not to order. I do usually go for a wee before I leave the house, as do the children, but poos happen when they are needed. I do kickstart my system every morning with a couple of coffees, because it is more convenient to me to poo at home, but I don't sit there straining away if nothing is happening.

CharliePan · 18/01/2015 12:47

it's cheaper than using papier mache and keeps the kids entertained for hours.
And then it makes a perfect pizza base. You people really need to get with the programme.

BigRedBall · 18/01/2015 12:52

But you don't let them poo in the middle of the road do you OOAOMAL? You make them go in a toilet and supervise their pooing.

Cat owners need to supervise cats until they've pooed and then let them out to roam.

TheWitTank · 18/01/2015 12:54

Not really usual -they sit on the roof because they are locked out in all weather's from dawn til dusk. They spend most of the day huddled together trying to stay warm and howling. Poor little scraps. I may dislike their shitting but I feel sorry for them.

I see the OP has fucked off Hmm

Just looked back at this thread. Can't believe it. Perhaps I am missing something vital but I don't really get what's so brilliant about starting another thread on this subject to entice people to say some very unpleasant, regrettable things in the heat of the moment. And the cool kids sneering at people because it's all oh so funny, plus in jokes and cliquey-ness. And telling people to do one if they don't like the thread (predictable). All very grim.

OOAOML · 18/01/2015 13:03

I suppose I should polish my parenting halo, BigRedBall, because I have indeed never let my children poo in the middle of the road, or even on the pavement or a grass verge (in all honesty, there have been one or two pees on grass during potty training).

Cocolepew · 18/01/2015 13:04

My ndn has a litter tray outside. Dont think her cats use it, judging by my driveway.

Sparklingbrook · 18/01/2015 13:06

Yep grim is the word motley, but it's nothing we haven't seen before on the previous bajillion cat poo threads. we could do with some bingo cards or turn it into a drinking game.

Threaten to post cat poo through letterbox.
Threaten to kill cat
Claim 'friendly child loving dog' will kill all cats.

HOUSE!! Grin

MooMaid · 18/01/2015 13:07

motleymop I totally agree.

I'm a little surprised if I'm honest but I've now decided to just hide the thread now that I've wasted my time reading it

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 18/01/2015 13:10

I hate cats using my gardens as a litter tray!

Although,I've had much less of a problem since I planted lots of lillies....

motleymop · 18/01/2015 13:22

Yes, definitely a full house sparkling.

Moo - me too. Ciao (miaow).

Salmotrutta · 18/01/2015 13:50

I admit it.

I was being goady.

But my cats use my garden for their toilet needs.

And it is fertiliser.

All waste and decaying matter ends up back in the recycling of elements.

Not like you Salmotrutta, were you pissed?

BigRedBall · 18/01/2015 13:56

(motleymop just go with the flow, it's fun if you give them what they want and make them think they've made you froth-at-the-mouth angry. Grin.)

Good OOAMOL, now do the same with your cats.

Fucking pet shit.

usualsuspect333 · 18/01/2015 13:57

Had you been on the Sanatogen tonic wine again, Salmo?

itsbetterthanabox · 18/01/2015 14:09

I don't believe in indoor cats either. But it doesn't give you the right to be anti social. You don't have to own a cat. No one does. Don't own cats, it's not good for them or us.

Sparklingbrook · 18/01/2015 14:15

'Don't own cats' Grin

PrincessPilolevuofTONGA · 18/01/2015 14:16

It's the toxoplasmosis. It's infected your brain

Makes rats want to be caught. Makes cat owners think shitting in the veg patch is fine

The cats are taking over the world by altering our brains with the germs in their shit. Fact.

Sparklingbrook · 18/01/2015 14:29

It's been a blast, but I'm hiding this now. It's getting a bit bonkers for me.

Tinks42 · 18/01/2015 15:30

Finally admitting to starting a "goady" thread....

What an attention seeker Grin

Chandon · 18/01/2015 15:33

oh, the thread has imploded.

Shame.

Was just going bring my lurcher into the equation...
