My cats have been trained to use a litter tray from kittenhood which they
still do, they both wear collars with bells & are kept in at night so they
can't catch birds at dawn or dusk (when most cat kills happen), are spayed,
regularly innoculated & dewormed, are micro-chipped & are not a nuisance to
any of my neighbours. As you say - it's the owners, not the cats.
I had neighbours with a cat that was out all the time, he was obviously not
neutered & sprayed on my front door & dustbin, attacked my cats in our
garden & would even come inside our house to eat my cat's food or chase
them, messed on & scratched up all the neighbours lawns etc etc - that is a
nuisance. It did stop once we got a dog though.

As for "cat grass" I belive it's to grow in a tray for indoor cats to
enjoy???

Urglers,

I mentioned the group's hatred of the antics of cats to someone this
morning
and was told something you might like to spread around......

A lady on the Island always gets her cats when they are just weaned and
trains them to use a litter tray of course. When they are old enough to
be
let out into the wide world, the litter tray is also placed outside the
back
door - I suppose it's under cover from the rain. I was told that the
lady's
cat continues to use its litter tray and that as far as she knows, it
never
fouls any gardens.

So there we have it, it's the irresponsible cat owners who are to blame,
not
the cats. But of course, their sole reason for having cats instead of
friends (dogs) is most likely that they do not have to buy Catsan (or
whatever), do not have to dispose of the crap nor use a pooper scooper!
Seems to me that they're just lazy!

Regards,

Geoff

P.S. Does anybody know what "cat grass" is? I saw some seeds for it on
sale at one of the Island's hardware stores.
