Unlike you, I'm not a control freak. Translation: Unlike me you aren't willing to be responsible for your pet? Is it *just* because you DGAF about anyone else (which is exactly how I consider you) and how you might react if someone say regularly let their dog sh1te all over your front garden (and not clear it up) or climb on your car (scratching the paintwork) etc? If I came round your house informing you that your cat climbed in though our downstairs toilet window, fell into our toilet and then scratched up our wallpaper in it's panicked efforts to get out and that you owed us the cost of having that repaired, would you pay up? If you could prove it, yes. Ok. If my dog had got hold of your cat (on our property) and caused damage, requiring an expensive vets bill, would you expect me to pay for it? How many times do you need to be told. You don't have a dog. Whoosh. You *really* don't do hypothetical very well do you? Ok, we had a dog, what if it had happened when we did have a dog (is that easier on your limited brain)? I strongly suggest you seek therapy for this imaginary man's best friend you have. See above. How much to you actually care for your cat. How much (/little) to you care about those who live around you? I care a lot about my cat. Ok (we will see just how far this care extends) ... His vet bills are not on the NHS No, really? and he gets fed very well. Ok. I ensure he is indoors at night - don't particularly want him to be fox food. Or cause / be hurt in an accident when he runs in from of a moving vehicle hopefully? Having taken him for walks in the nature reserve, How often do you do / have you done that? he does tend to take a dump there. And you pick it up? Before you scream about the cat fouling the area, Not scream, just asking reasonable questions about how we are responsible for our own pets. there are cattle in there at present and dog owners take their dogs in - despite there being a sign asking them not to. Then they aren't good pet owners and could be prosecuted for allowing their animals to harass livestock and possibly risk having their animals shot. But that's considerate dog owners for you. No, that's *inconsiderate* pet owners for you. Any pet owner who doesn't ensure they pet is under full control is considered irresponsible. And weren't you the one negging 'control'? You know the type. I do (bad pet owners). Bag up the dog **** and hang it from trees. Yup, disgusting. Mind you, there would probably be the same people who litter or lets their cats out to sh1t in neighbours gardens or their kids out to vandalise bus shelters. There was one individual who I actually saw doing just that and since being confronted, there has been no recurrence. Excellent. Now, if I could just pin down the irresponsible cat owners round here (you know, the same as the other irresponsible pet owners you cite above). Compulsory chipping of cats (like with dogs) might be a start. Then I could trap them (humanely of course), scan them and return them to their owner (or have them collected by the Council and they can pay the recovery / cattery fees etc) and have them clear up their pets mess or pay to have it done. The neighbours can do their own shopping etc. What? So, we seem to be in some agreement regarding what constitutes a 'responsible pet owner' but not when it comes to owning a cat for some reason?

Trouble is, I know he never did a return route, but would exit the reserve at another gate. Same prick had a bag of his dog **** returned to him when he decided to drop it in a skip which was outside my place 0during building work. Idiot had the cheek to confront me for delivering it to his house and handing it to his wife while he was still out walking the **** machine. |

Ah, good, so you have now agreed the responsibility of pet owners and their fouling. Right, now it's time to petition to make the chipping of cats compulsory and having their DNA taken so the fouling can be linked to the animal owner (and they can pay for the testing and cleanup). Just in the same way some councils are threatening to chuck the families of criminals (/feral kids) out of their council homes, why shouldn't cat owners be made responsible for the lack of responsibility / control over their pets, like the owners of most other pets are?
