As far as I am concerned, if it is a pet, it should be under control.
Keep
it on a lead, or in the house, otherwise it is a stray. The old witch
near
me with 7 cats and no litter tray is a threat to human health, since her
cats use my garden as a toilet.

7 cats? 3 pairs of slippers and a spare :-))


I think you might trip on the tails, kinda like having your laces untied.

And 28 authentic immitation lucky rabbit's feet. salesman Ginger rabbits

Cats are classed as 'wild'
animals, and as such are subject to no laws or bye-laws.

and as vermin can be shot, skinned, cooked and eaten. Tastes
like
Rabbit

Mike


Got any recipes?

Bob



As I understand it Bob you just treat it as Rabbit. The fur can be
used
as
a
fur trim on slippers etc

Or a small rug...

Bob


Two cats would make a pair of slippers :-))

Now there's a good use for cats :-)) The first one yet

Mike

The Theft Act 1968 - it is an offence to steal a cat

Cats are not property. When dogs were licensed you had to inform the owner
if you ran one over - not so with a cat.

The Protection of Animals Act 1911 as extended by later legislation -
it is an offence to cruelly ill-treat, beat, kick, infuriate, carry or
convey in a manner which causes unnecessary suffering, commit any act
that will cause unnecessary suffering, abandon or cause to be
abandoned any cat or kitten and to cause anyone to do any of these.

It specifically mentions cats? What about rats and mice, who have poisons
specifically made and openly marketed for them? I would think a humane
dispatch of a cat would be within the above mentioned law.

Criminal Damage Act 1971 - Any person who destroys or damages, or
threatens to destroy or damage a cat belonging to another person may
be committing an offence under this Act.

Again, I doubt cats were mentioned at all in this case, although they are
animals, and would come under animal protection laws.


Because cats fall outside of the definitions of cattle or livestock
under the Animals Act 1971 they cannot be held guilty of trespass
under civil law and their owners therefore cannot be held liable for
damage.

There are also laws which could, in the right circumstances, protect
you from the nuisance of cats:

The Environmental Protection Act 1990 - proceedings can be brought
when, in the opinion of the local authority, there is a statutory
nuisance caused by an animal kept in such a place or manner as to be
prejudicial to health or a nuisance.

The Public Health Act 1936 - A local authority can make bye-laws
preventing the keeping of animals so as to be prejudicial to health.


As far as I am concerned, if it is a pet, it should be under control. Keep
it on a lead, or in the house, otherwise it is a stray. The old witch near
me with 7 cats and no litter tray is a threat to human health, since her
cats use my garden as a toilet.

Bob


People inclined to steal, treat cruelly, kill or otherwise illtreat
domestic cats should not rely upon your version of the law as being
reliable or authorative.

Extra fencing for £25? bargain, go for it.

Won't help with the cats though, cats can scale very tall fences.

Not nonsense at all. If I want action I get it. I was 'tied' as a
councillor. And BTW, get your facts right, I didn't resign, I just didn't
stand at the next Elections. There is a bit of a difference.

The amount of pratts on this newsgroup is quite amazing, where do you all
come from? Why do you control freaks come onto this newsgroup?

This newsgroup and gardening would be such a wonderful thing if you were
to
take your fingers off the 'I am in charge' button.

From your recent rants, it would seem to me that you want _your_ hand on the
'I am in charge' button!

Problems?

Not me Sir :-))

Not at all!! But I don't want others, on a free newsgroup telling me what to
do just because they 'have been here longer'

Sit around and you will see them respond with a load of crap and then they
will have a chatty chatty conversation on the newsgroup, conversation which
could quite well be done by email or picking the telephone up.

Sorry, they are classed as 'wild' not 'vermin' and cannot be shot like
that. You are, legally, not allowed to put your own cat down if it is
ill (or dog), it must be done by a vet.

They are filthy, destructive and troublesome. Sounds like vermin to me.

Isn't that odd, I was begining to think you are vermin.

Thank you Harold I will. I have a vast circle of friends in different walks
of life and they all know where they stand with me. I have just extended
that circle by joining others on a cruise forum and had the pleasure of
meeting a whole load of them at a party in High Wycombe this time last
Saturday night. It was such a success that many of us have booked to go on a
cruise together, 18 at present, fly out to Bermuda to join the ship, visit,
St Lucia, (will be there in the new year at the start of a World Cruise) St
Kitts, Granada, Antigua, Madeira and back into Southampton :-)) Last
Saturday was a six hour party, this next one is a 14 day party :-)) And no
one is a control freak and has 'been here the longest' and not a Net Nanny
in sight :-)) we are all equal :-))
