IME, cats don't poo on grass - ie, I've never seen a cat do that.

I checked on a couple of websites last night and apparently they will use a lawn if the grass is pretty long. Maybe it makes them feel they're hiding it!

I stand corrected.

Hedgehog poo is normally one piece, black and about 4 cm long. Doesn't smell.

Hilariousno

I wasn't trying to hassle you, I had just come off Bubble99 and Kangas threads and hoped that if they found this it would give a much needed giggle.

I apologise if you felt I was trying to hassle you as that was not the intention.

I am going out now, so will be unable to reply.

Hope the weather is better in other parts of the country, horrible here.

Pussy pussy cat it's all down to you
Why can't you do your poo poo on the loo?
Then all the gardens would stay nice and clean
No footballs to dodge if you know what I mean

cuddlesrus · 30/04/2005 09:26

QueenEagle your post of I think 4.48 yesterday was hilarious. I burst out laughing

Joanne you need to lighten up.

QueenEagle · 30/04/2005 10:10

Still to the tune of pussy cat, pussy cat.....

Oh the poor neighbour of Jo23
Had a knock on the door when she was having her tea
Jo thinks cats are fluffy and don't eat the birds
And we shouldn't get huffy when we tread in their turds

I know my cats are forever in our neighbours garden and its frustrating for them as it was for us when we didnt have cats and others came in ours, so we used pepper. Maybe your neighbour is a tad fed up with your cat using their garden as a toilet or something and its all got a bit much. If she didnt actually hit your cat with the ball I would leave it, however, if its something that you see her do on a regular occurrence maybe you could ask her if there is a problem and even buy her something from the pet shop to try and keep your cat out of her garden, for the sake of a peaceful neighbourhood?

starlover · 30/04/2005 10:17

assumedname: how on earth do you know so much about hedgehog poo? normally 4cm long????

I would have pissed myself if Joanne's neighbour had answered last night... she'd have wondered what the fuck was going on!

Does anyone throw balls at hedgehogs if they poo in the garden....???

marthamoo · 30/04/2005 12:51

I would throw a hedgehog at a cat - kill two birds with one stone, so to speak

Twiglett you are forgiven (you were right anyway, it was bollocks, just wasn't me that said it!) - come back and be crushed against my ample bosom.

QueenEagle · 30/04/2005 12:56

Best not throw a football at a hedgehog though, eh?

starlover · 30/04/2005 13:02

my aunt had a mummy and baby hedgehog living in her garden. One day she saw the baby hedgehog out on it's own so she went to look at it, and it got frightened, but it didn't roll up... it wee'd itself!

throckenholt · 30/04/2005 15:06

my dad threw a shoe at a neighbour's cat once - it went into their garden - he made me go round and ask for the shoe back - I was baout 5 at the time

zebraX · 30/04/2005 20:37

I'll lynch the neighbours if I find them doing anything nasty to my baby frogs... GRRRRRRRRRRR

Mud · 04/05/2005 11:49
