Default Cats in garden

For the record I don't hate cats, I dislike the owners who buy/get
cats for the kids and then leave the cats to roam free.
I do indeed hate it when well fed cats kill the wildlife in my garden
that I strive so hard to promote.
I also do hate getting cats mess on me and finding my plats uprooted.


Can you explain this a bit more? I have two cats, and dislike having to
rescue screaming frogs from them and clearing up rodent entrails, but I
see little a petition will do about the annoyance? If a cat is killing
birds then perhaps a bell will solve the problem. Any other wildlife will
not have the benefit of sharp senses and wings and will not be able to get
away in time.

As for them shitting in your garden, how will a bell help this? Cats do
crap wherever the hell they want, despite your best efforts.


Not if you hit it hard enough with the bell.
