who bears the responsibility for providing the equipment,
expensive as it might well be, to perform this scan?

Usually Americans!


Well after that novel solution, I stand corrected,
for any erroneous misconceptions I may have entertained.

Although I'd love to squirt a few of the B. things with washing up liquid
I'm not going to wait up all night! However, many years ago before all the
fuss about illtreating pussies, I caught one in a keep net and put it under
the garden tap for a few seconds. It never returned to my garden so Ive
decided that a scarecrow from http://www.queenswood.co.uk seems the best
solution.

I'll let you know later in the year.

They crap and piddle all over my garden. Their owners show absolutely

a complete contempt for other people's feelings and property rights.
How many dogs are allowed to behave in this way.
If dog owners are forced into picking up their pet's droppings why are
we so tolerant towards cats. They are carriers of the same diseases
that dogs are accused of carrying, so much so that dog owners have to
clean up after their pets. So why not bloody cats? Someone on this
NG suggested shooting them. Not a bad idea as far as I'm concerned.

Here I go again...

I don't think you can equate cats and dogs in this way. They are
different species. You can own a dog, but any cat person will tell
you that the cat is not owned, The cat does what it wants, when it
wants. They are far more independent than the poor old dog. A dog
without a lead is a lost soul. A cat without a lead is a free spirit !


Who cares kill them and be done with.

You should feel privileged that a cat chooses your patch to "crap and
piddle" in. Dogs leave it all over the roads, pavements and parks for
just about anybody to find. This particular cat has chosen only YOU
to be the recipient of its present. Aren't you the lucky one !


You do talk some ********
There is nothing lucky about picking up a hanful of cat crap

As for the "owners", as you well know, we can't ( and shouldn't ) be
held responsible, and British Law backs this up...

Animals Act 1971..
"Cats cannot be held guilty of trespass and the owners cannot be held
responsible for any damage done."
and "Domestic animals such as cats and dogs are allowed by law to roam.


Yeah right! Dogs have to be on a lead in the UK.


A
person who wants to prevent a neighbour's cat or dog from entering
her/his property could make her/his own fencing arrangements."


My god you even talk cat crap!

So perhaps you'd better get a bigger fence ??


50 6x6 fence panels is that big enough?


Obviously not.

Please don't be so pompous. The only thing you know about me is I don't like
cats. You have no idea what effect I have had on the world. You have no idea
what I do or what people think about me, in fact you know nothing. Tell the
RSPCA if you so wish see if they care. I'll get back to you if they come
round.

I don't need some jumped up idiot like you to tell me to get a life
thank you. I shall pass your comments on to the RSPCA

NO! A cat is not like a dog.

And so what if a cat is micro chipped who is going to pay the bin men to
scan all the bags of rubish before they put them in the cart.

Do cats pee on the grass and kill it like dogs pee does? Only I've just
got a dead patch of grass where it looks like this has happened. It's
all fenced in so it wasn't a dog.
