writes If you are virtually certain they they are strays, I know of nothing that stops you from humanely killing them. and they taste like Rabbit when cooked -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" I said, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled and nodded knowingly, "That's why we ask." |

K When Holland was occupied during the war, they used to kill the 'Roof Rabbits' for food. How do I know? Henk a member of the IMC, International Maritime Confederation, told us when we were in Brussels for a Conference. He was in Holland during the war and had first hand experience. OK?

"Larry Stoter" Thank you. I have considered trapping and relocation to a cat rescue centre a couple of hundred miles from where I live. Would that be illegal in the UK? You are a frustrated little brad if it comes to your garden aren't you? |

That's a strange comment. Why do you imagine a cat's owner *wouldn't* notice it was missing? They certainly don't notice that it is wandering around the neighbourhood, digging up gardens, killing birds and small mammals, defaecating where it wants and polluting the area with toxoplasma gondii. My experience, having several relatives who 'own' cats is that they don't start getting really worried until their little darlings have been 'missing' for 3-4 days. -- Larry Stoter |

I just accept it then from time to time a pet will demolish something in the garden, a football will demolish some flowers. I don't live alone in my neighbourhood and not everybody shares my gardening obsession. Are you one of these weirdos who feels so unloved they need to have five cats or more? No I do not have any cats, I once had a dog, I do have a kid and a garden. I am just not one of 'these weirdos' that think my whole neighbourhood should walk around my garden from ten meters distance, because otherwise they would destroy something. I do not want anybody or animal to walk around my garden at 10 meters distance. However, I would prefer they do not walk, or worse, through my garden uninvited. In the case of dogs and people, there are a number of acceptable means of recourse. Regretably, a small proportion of cat owners feel they are entitled to allow the animals they claim to own to enter neighbours gardens without permission. Even worse, I seem to have no legal or social remedy to prevent or discourage this infringement of my property. There are painless and harmless ways to deal with this problem, all you have to do is to ask politely! I have a solution, but I'll only tell you if you ask nicely and make sure you say 'please'!
