Stop blaming cats for everything, it really annoys me.

Cats usually bury their poo. Young dog fox cubs are ejected from their
families round about late August. I suggest it might be them.

Doesn't fox poo have a very "foxy" but not unpleasant smell and a
pointed end?]Depends if the cubs have managed to to catch anything.

Cat poo smells foul.

Agreed, but they bury it.

You just don't understand cats.

And then there's the whole issue of Toxoplasma Gondii
which modifies rat's behaviour in interesting ways.

And it is estimated that 1/3 of people are infected.

Recent research has also linked toxoplasmosis with attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive
disorder, and schizophrenia. Numerous studies found
a positive correlation between latent toxoplasmosis and
suicidal behavior in humans.

Not a nice by-product of cats - arguable more dangerous
than "dangerous dogs".

We could start on them eating nice harmless birds...

I think I just hate cats because they are all nice to you when they want
something and as soon as they've got it, they bugger off waving their butt
in your general direction!

Bit like politicians at election time...

So do we and so does she. But not all cats do as ours do.

You need to accept that some cats do crap in other peoples gardens
and that some people don't like cats. When the two coincide there is
bound to be friction.

I have never noticed any heavy aroma when scooping the stuff out of
the cat's litter box. Occasionally a slight sweetish sort of smell but
nothing I'd call foul. Maybe it's down to diet?

Cat litter contains deodorant and dessicant. Otherwise cat litter
boxes would stink the house out.

You'd think gardeners would encourage people digs in their garden.

Cats are very useful at keeping the vermin and various birds off my crops -
I bet you'd be very tasty to them 'mike', but then, they are rather
particular in the vermin the eat, so maybe not!

You are right, no cat would want to touch that sort of vermin.
He seems to sit at his computer just waiting for a mention of cats so
that he can post that same old comment again. What a wasted life.

I've been told (somewhere, probably on a Ray Mears wildlife prog or
the like) that all predators turds have a pointed end. Presumably to
prevent the anus slamming shut and thus giving their presence away to
their prey.

I do like that one :-)




Yes I do too.
A gentle slam. Is my preferance, but, of course, I am not always in
control!

Yes, but they foul in someone elses garden. Burying it makes it 100 times
worse. There are no cat shit detectors. You only know it when it's
disgusting odour is on your hand or your tool (no remarks please).

Maybe you ought to change the coolant in your car and forget to
dispose of the bowl full of old coolant...


Please explain what this means, David.
I think the coolant would be disposed of ... sensibly.
Do YOU forget? We don't forget to get rid of hazardous waste. It is part of
life now. It is what most of us do now. I admmit there are grey areas.

Coolant contains ethylene glycol, cats find this attractive,
unfortunately for cats it is rather toxic.
