cats

snips .... How do you suggest people train their cats to stay out of your garden? Not really my problem - if an owner can't train it to remain in the garden, then keep it indoors or in a fenced area in the garden. I don't have a cat, and I don't like them leaving a mess in my garden but I just accept them as one of those fairly minor inconveniences that I can't do anything about. But I don't consider it a minor inconvenience, especially when they urinate and defaecate on the veg. And toxoplasma gondii is not a minor inconvenience to anybody who is pregnant. As long as it's legal to own cats, and to allow them outside, then there's not a whole lot you can do about it. Best not to get too het up about things you can't change. Well, the hope is that the government panel currently considering toxoplasma gondii will decide that cats need controlling. And while the things that can be done are limited, there are possibilities. For example, 12 or more cats may be considered as a cat sanctuary which needs planning permission. And, in principle, local environmental health bodies have the power to act against an animal that is a health hazard which parents could well argue in the case of animals defaecating around young children. -- Larry Stoter |
