Well I got one and fitted it.

All worked well until today. The cat went outside and decided to sunbath
in a neighbours garden.

Or 'straying' as we would normally call it ... or not being in control
of your animal ... if it was anything other than a cat apparently?

After 3 hours of hard sleeping the cat was taken
by the neighbour to the vets as he deduced it was a stray.

That's the sort of thing that can happen if you allow your animals to
'stray' onto other peoples property. Lucky he was trying to do good
and didn't take it 'somewhere else'. ;-(

Lou got a
call from the vets and the neighbour was told to take the cat home.

If the council were called to remove a stray animal the owner could be
charged to get it back, even if they went to get it themselves.

What I don't get is how someone can get a cat in the knowledge it is
very likely to stray (and defecate) into other peoples gardens and
assume that should be considered normal / acceptable by everyone?

But hey, if we do leave the EU without a deal and chicken is in short
supply, cats might start disappearing all over the place. weg
