I have numerous cats as you know, and I don't care what they do in other
people's gardens. In fact I prefer they don't leave it in mine.

If it was possible to train a cat to do so, I'd get them to use the toilet,
and they're not stinking my house out with a litter tray (and prefer to do
it outside anyway).

My next door neighbour but one curses me every time he sees me, but there
is nothing he can do about it, and I like this.
But I think there is something he can do about it. Pick the crap up and chuck it back over the fence into your garden.

He'd have to have a good throwing arm. Next door BUT ONE.

I was on a Southwest flight once that was delayed at the gate after everyone boarded. The flight attendant said over the intercom, "We're sorry for the delay. The machine that normally rips the handles off your luggage is broken, so we're having to do it by hand. We should be finished and on our way shortly."

Cats are very useful at keeping the vermin and various birds off my

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 am not going to apologise for taking a lost cat in. It's not ideal as
I've stopped feeding the birds except way down my garden (where the nuthatch
box is, and where my cat never goes)
But hey. He's so useful at catching small rats. He's quite lazy, he
prefers to stay in most of the day on his bed, and go out in the dark when
he's not a threat to any birds.

Some cats are not very good at the burying, vague scratch in the soil
half hearted attempt to cover.

I am sure you must know a lot more about cats than I do.
Except I have one and I can assure you he buries his poo in his own
garden. Stop blaming cats for everything, it really annoys me.

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!

Well, I certainly agree with that! It's their nature and there nothing
much to be done about it as it's legal to have a cat and it's acknowledged
in UK law that the owner cannot control them and is not responsible for what
they do.

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.

Yup, under my wood chippings.
Guess who gets a handful of it when weeding?
My dog don't crap in my neighbour's garden, I see no reason why his
vermin cats should crap in my garden.

You just don't understand cats.

You don't understand that I own my land and I do not want the ****ing
things shitting on my land.
Why do you not understand this?

I do.
I also own land, and I have enough that it doesn't really matter if somecat
shits in it, somewhere. I won't notice and even if I did, it's not the end
of the world.

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).

so what's your idea?

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.

How disgusting to have a cat's toilet in your home.
Smell or no smell, shit is shit.
And you have a water toilet to do yours in. Cats don't have an option about
the litterbox if they are kept inside.

so recently.
He ate everything except one wing.

Tweed

I have found all cat owners to have the same ignorant attitude.
He knows that I will kill his cats if I manage to get my hands on one
whilst it is crapping on my property.

Isn't this getting a bit stupid? I can tell you if anyone killed my cat
they would regret it because he is a beautiful soul. and if you killed him
I'd pursue you to the end of the earth to make sure you went to prison if
you did.
Or if I found you first.
I am fairly kind normally, but best not to threaten my cat.

and Christine proves the point

Thank you

One of my cats once brought me a sparrow, still alive, squawking like hell. I rescued the sparrow from it's mouth and it flew away. The cat was spanked and yelled at and it only catches mice now.
