Hi Tim,

I am a researcher at Landmark Films, a documentary company based in Oxford who make films for BBC, ITV1, Channel 4 and Sky1. We are known for making access-led, intelligent, well crafted, warm and funny documentaries about human stories, different places and institutions. Our latest documentary series was Brain Doctors for BBC2, a three part series on the neurology department at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

In the new year we are due to start making a film about cats for the BBC. We would like to look at the UK's opinion on cats. We would like to make a balanced documentary and I wanted to involve bird watchers and lovers to get their opinions. Many people are having problems with the increasing number of feral cats in the UK, cats pooing on their gardens and killing birds in the area. The issue with cats killing birds has been raised by various scientific journals recently. I wanted to speak to anyone who is having a problem with cats in their garden or perhaps runs a business that is being affected.

Would you be willing to have a chat with me about your cat poo problem?

Kind Regards,
Jessica Howe
Researcher
Landmark Films

There are 3-4 cats that appear regularly. I know it's not going to be easy - but I was wondering if there is a chemical I can spray around the permimeter that is either deeply unpleasant to cats or makes them regard it as marked territory? I don't mind the odd cat, but they are becoming a right pest lately. -- Tim Watts Personal Blog: Squiddy's Blog Coverage Maps for Wireless Carriers - Sensorly Crowd mapping of 2G/3G/4G mobile signal coverage
