Keep your filthy disgusting cats at home!

[SelkieQualia]

My 3yo son just ran across my front lawn and jumped in the car. On the way, he's trodden in cat poo ( there's a regular offender, and no, it's not fox ). There's now cat poo all across the back seat of my car. I'm first trimester, and horrified at the prospect of toxoplasma, even though I know the risk is low.

This is on the background of my aracuana chicks being stolen by cats from my own back yard. I don't care how lazy you think your cat is - research has shown that even the most placid cat will kill 2-3 animals per night if allowed to roam.

Keep them locked up ffs! If you can't keep them inside, make a run. If you can't do that, keep rabbits instead.

You obviously don't understand that cats don't have owners. They have slaves and it is our job, as the chosen ones, to allow said masters to do as they absofuckinglutely choose. My 3 cats all chose me. This is a privilege. They allow me to feed them, pet them and give them somewhere warm to sleep.

I have five cats. All indoors. All happy. I would never allow my sweet kitties out to roam around other people’s property or chance them being killed by a predator or car.

@ohnotubby

My next door neighbour has 17 cats. You can imagine our struggle.

WTF?!

@CleverCatty - this could be your kitty on my car.... fact is you don't know what your cat is up to when roaming the streets unsupervised!

[quote BadEyeBri]@Iminaglasscaseofemotion lucky you. I work in a public facing roll and it happens to me daily. I just wish I could be sure that people wormed their children as often as I worm my pets. [/quote]
I work WITH children, so can guarantee I'm around them more on a daily basis than you. It still doesn't happen, often, if ever.
Also adults can pass on worms just as easily as children. You're also not supposed to routinely worms humans. Not good for them. You're welcome.

Totally agree OP I hate bloody cats. Smelly roaming, thieving, squatting killing things 'shudder'

@Alexis21sounds like you are talking about humans.

I read some of these responses to my cat....asked what her thoughts were and she's just wandered off outside

cats are the kindest, cleanest and most intuitive of animals. Get a fucking grip. A cat purring on your lap is the most soothing experience ever. You should try it OP, it may help you unclench a bit. Please whilst we're on the subject can you stop your dogs barking, it upsets gorgeously clean litter using darling cat.

"They may be the kindest, cleanest and intuitive animals" but that doesn't stop them pooing where they like. They are a law to themselves.

And yes, I do have a cat.

@CleverCatty I will take our beautiful, unique, vulnerable wildlife over the cats any day, thanks.

Yeah, they're not.

Cats are not filthy. Poo is filthy. Stop spreading hatred towards an innocent animal that doesn't have a choice to behave any differently.

Cat spikes are cheap, there are also motion sensor cat deterrents that emit a high-pitched noise so cats won't want to stay around long enough to poop.

If you don't want toxoplasmosis, then don't lick the car clean. I think you'll find household cleaning spray a tad more hygienic.

Cats are filthy bastards.

I agree

I am also starting to think one look at the faces that must be contorted in hatred for these animals would be enough to put them off stopping there for a dump

@Alexis21 I dont understand what you mean when you say they smell... have you smelt a cat? They don't smell of anything. Dogs do. And so do people. But not cats.

If you want cats to stop shitting in your garden, get your own cats. They'll go somewhere else and other cats won't come to their territory.

Just because you find cats filthy and disgusting OP doesn't mean everyone else has to abide by that.

They do, I’m afraid. And in particular, their urine smells awful. You can smell someone owns a cat just from opening the front door.

I agree cat URINE smells, but cats themselves, unlike dogs, don't smell.

So what if your super duper nose can smell cat urine at a zillion feet, cats are purrrrfect.

I just love cats. It makes my day when I see a cat in the garden.

My two are both indoors because they have medical problems (and I wouldn't let them out anyway because we live on a busy road).

Ylvamoon - I stand corrected with that photo!

My two old cats (brother and sister) may well have done that but my other cat (now gone) was very nervous and jumpy and I know there's no way in hell he would've sat on let alone scratched a car - he was the type of cat that was good-looking but would watch people from the bottom of their gardens and not come near you - much to people's amusement - he also had a loud meow and was known for fighting and using that meow.

Or - as mine always seemed to do - they did plenty of shits in their own litter tray - so if they did shit elsewhere they obviously saved it up for that purpose.

It's interesting - I don't have cat now - yet - but one cat visits my house and I feed her cat treats - she's very friendly - adores my toddler nephew when he visits and he adores her - and she doesn't shit at all in our garden or the neighbours garden she also goes in, so where does she shit?!
