There seems to have been an increase in the local cat population.
At first I tried to adopt a live and let live attitude but now cats are
sitting on my car, scratching at the fence panels, and going to the
toilet. Things have got so bad that I have dug up a couple of
flowerbeds and replaced them with gravel.

I have a toddler and I know dog mess contains germs that can cause blindness,

It's actually a tiny worm that eats your retina IIRC and the problem
is called toxacariasis (sp??)

Isn't it particularly the toxoplasmosis risk to the foetus of a
pregnant woman that's the largest risk. That was certainly what my
wife told me to excuse her from clearing up **** from the local pest
(cat) population.

Simple for me - pets should be banned, the only animals people should
be allowed to keep are ones which provide food or perform an
industrial service.

Some of us feel the same way about your brats.
