Their mess can cause BLINDNESS in children

Can't read the last reference due to rubbish website being incompatible with iphone. Sorry!

I thought it was dog poo made you blind?

Who's up for a 'stopping people spouting shit' petition? Grin

TheRollingCrone · 17/04/2016 14:23

I do understand the frustration. My lovely next door neighbour has six cats! Yes, six.
And they all shit in my garden ( sigh). I,ve only just trained my 8 yr old dd not to run straight out onto the grass in her school shoes.
But what can you do?
I,m not sure where my bastard of a cat shites.

Tbh I'd rather have the cats than the rats... but that's a different thread.

I'm absolutely amazed the petition only has 21signatures so far...

Me! Surely any adult knows that cats cannot be told anything, they do as they please Grin

Do you own car? Exhaust fumes are very bad for our health and contribute to global warming. I suspect more folk die every year from pollution than go blind from cat poo. It might be an unpleasant irritation in your life but your energies could be better spent. Rather than sign a petition you could research some methods for discouraging cats in your garden?

JennyOnAPlate · 17/04/2016 14:34

I'd like to start a petition to stop my cats shitting under the trampoline. Little bastards won't listen to me so maybe the government could have a word instead?

...I don't even know what to say to this.

How would you suggest cat owners keep a tab on where their cats are going? Should cat owners be required to follow them in and out of their neighbours gardens at all times of the day and night with poo bags just in case?

Could there be a market in nappies for cats?

Tiggeryoubastard · 17/04/2016 14:36

God imagine the angst. Should there be a special area for trans cats or do they use the area specified for the gender they identify with?

DanyellasDonkey · 17/04/2016 14:38

Tiggy - hilarious. that made my day Grin

Blindness is caused by cat roundworms. Their eggs are found in the feces. It enters into the human system through contaminated soil, usually in children. Not adapted to the intestines of humans the worms can migrate to other parts of the body like the eyes, and cause blindness. Most domestic cats are regularly wormed. The risk would be higher where there are feral or stray cats, but then for them there is no owner to blame. Children need to wash their hands after playing outside.

My cat keeps vomming like the exorcist. I wish he'd do that in my neighbours garden instead - puts me right off

gamerchick · 17/04/2016 14:48

Ha genuine lol there tiggery cheers man Grin

See, it has 22 signatures now!

My son once tied something to my cat. She went ape shit, scratched it off, there was so much blood. We had to rush her to the vets, my son was so upset. There's no fucking way I'd put a nappy on her. Cats aren't dogs. They just aren't.

Tiggeryoubastard · 17/04/2016 14:53

Thanks chaps, I aim to please unlike the cats

PurpleDaisies · 17/04/2016 14:53

I'm really hoping people read my comment about nappies for cats as a joke...

BeverlyGoldberg · 17/04/2016 14:58

This is cat shit crazy.

I have however given my two a stern talking to, even though they are house cats, and they have promised not to make any children go blind. You're welcome.

Lucy is too busy sleeping to sign the petition. She doesn't like other cats pooing in her garden

Legally, cats are wild animals and their owners cannot be responsible for what they do. -Because who ever wrote that law had clearly owned cats and knew what they were like-.

chopchopchop · 17/04/2016 16:33

sigh

LemonRedwood · 17/04/2016 16:35

Don't be daft. Everyone knows cats don't have owners!
