The other cats have all died :-) He was telling me that he is very upset that his stinking cat will only **** in the litter tray in his house and that it should **** elsewhere. I asked him where. He said that he did not care. I told him that my dog does not nip out and **** in his garden and that if his stinking cat ****s in my garden I WILL kill it. His mouth opened and closed several times, then he walked away. Typical cowardly cat owner. He is also a poverty cyclist. Cats are useful in the garden. They catch mice and moles. I have yet to see a mouse, its droppings or a mole in my garden. Very clever, mice and moles. Almost invisible. Mice poo everywhere, I would see the poo. Moles dig holes, I would fall into such a hole. Thank you for your input. |

But, IMHO, if people have pets they should take responsibility for them. If cats cannot be controlled, then people should not have them for pets. Why isnt that true of children and senile relos ? Do children **** in your garden? There might just be more important things than **** in gardens. |

If yuo trap then they will sit and **** for much longer, Dunno, cats are a bit fussy and may prefer not to **** so close to where they have to be because of the cage. also I think it's illegal to trap a pet in such a way. Not here it isnt. In fact the council will lend you a trap and you are free to take the cat to the pound in it and return the trap with the cat in it. Why is even a single cat belonging to someone else ****ting in your garden acceptable? that's what they do it's like birds also ****ting in your garden. No, one is the action of wildlife the other is the result of an anti-social pet owner. No pet owners don't need to **** in someone elses garden. Some of them do anyway when ****ed and coming home from the pub and get caught short. |

Birds don't frequent my garden, the cat would catch 'em. Living adjacent to a nature reserve, I don't encourage birds by feeding them anyway. Some neighbours do and then wonder why they get rats in the garden. Since the cats next door all died :-) we now get plenty of birds in our garden. We do not feed them and have never seen a rat. But we do not live on a stinking council estate as you do. If there is nothing for the birds to eat, they must come to laugh at your plastic shrubbery. Poor deprived soul - a rat is like a large mouse. Given the choice of having rats as my neighbours or you, I'd settle for the rats. Again, you are incorrect with your assumption that I live on a council estate. "A rat is like a large mouse" Only a dole artist council estate ****** would come out with that one.

Why wpuld a human go and befriend a wolf ? They dont, but animals evolve in a way that the youngest look cute for what should be obvious reasons and that does see some humans find one whose mother has been killed etc appealing and when that animal has the right genes, it can make an appealing pet. That happened with all of wolves, monkeys, birds etc etc etc and eventually dogs ended up quite different to the wolves they started out as. Even the dogs like alsatians that arent that far at all from wolves genetically are very appealing when just weeks old. What purpose would it have, Got nothing to do with purpose, everything to do with what appeals. |

But no one finds 2 year olds abandoned by their mother or with a dead mother and has them as a pet in the first world anymore. A few do get grabbed from the hospital when a day or two old, but that isnt very common at all now. |
