Cats in garden

oups.com... 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. Buy some cat repellant. Starting some kind of petition will not solve this. Perhaps I should start a petition to get whiney old farts banned from the internet so they can't start petitions against minor issues with no workable resolution? Or you could just shut the **** up? |

There is more than one workable solution. Or you could just shut the **** up? Typical reaction of a cat owner! -- Alan news2006 {at} amac {dot} f2s {dot} com |

Google for scarecrow and buy one of the motion activated sprayers. I used
one for a few weeks and found that cats learnt not to come into the garden. Our major problem though was badgers and herons and it cured them! It sprayed me a few times as well when I forgot to turn it off!! Nowadays, I use it when needed Perhaps you and a few of your friends/neighbours who have a similar problem should club together and buy one. Used for a few weeks now and then and all will be pleased.

Cats in garden
I don't like cats in my gardens. Yes, it's natural for them to go after
birds but my property is a Wildlife Federation certifed backyard habitat and I've done EVERYTHING to attract birds, frogs, etc. to my property so I get VERY ****ED OFF when neighbors' cats come stalking. My 99% Border Collie does a good job of keeping the cats away when she is outside but she's really a pampered house dog. My two cats are INSIDE only. They watch the birds from the windows. I wish cat owners could control where their cats go... Denise Tour my gardens: http://web1.in4web.com/mtcdrc |

... I wish cat owners could control where their cats go... This is exactly the problem. I wish cats were like dogs and you could tell them off when they bring you home a 'present' or even stray into the neighbor's garden. Unfortunately for cats this has the opposite effect and the more you tell them off the more nervous and willing to kill animals or crap in gardents they become. The only resolution is to keep them away from your garden, whether that be through repellants, motions sensitive lights / squirters, or strategic planting of pungent plants they don't like. I'm not one of those cat owners who feels that my cats should be allowed to kill / destroy whatever they like. Far from it, I hate this quality in cats. If someone can work out a proper solution to it then I'm all for it. Starting a stupid petition with no real resolutions and then getting a couple of like minded idiots to sign it does not solve the problem. |

There we have a perfect example of some of whats wrong with this society. This poster has not only resorted to personal insults, swearing and being just plain rude but now also seeks to intimidate by association those who may feel they want to exercise their free political right to bring a matter to the attention of the government! I urge others to click the message options and report these mails to google. I will also be consulting my solicitor today to see if any action can be taken regarding deformation or slander. As a reference maybe some would like to look at this web page. Don't think that a news group (no matter where hosted) is immune from such action. http://www.yourrights.org.uk/your-ri...l-and-slander/ I will report back on how I get on today. Cheers Mike |

Amongst other episodes, I had one try to fling the Data Protection Act at me. Little did they realise that I studied that yonks ago and they haven't been seen since. :-) Just sit back and await your laughs :-)) Mike -- The Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association.

Google has been amazingly helpful and I have a full record with dates, time and IP addresses etc. I don't think it will hurt to run it by my sol today at work. You are right however! Thanks Mike |

There we have a perfect example of some of whats wrong with this society. I have to disagree with you - there is an awful lot wrong with this society, but I don't believe that this is an example of it. This poster has not only resorted to personal insults, swearing and being just plain rude but now also seeks to intimidate by association those who may feel they want to exercise their free political right to bring a matter to the attention of the government! Notwithstanding any criticism you may have, I should point out that history will show that petitions to the PM do very little, if any, good. Where did this poster resort to o personal insults? o swearing? o being plain rude? o intimidation? I urge others to click the message options and report these mails to google. Notwithstanding your criticism I fail to see what Google has to do with it. Google is merely a vehicle by which one may choose to navigate a newsgroup. I will also be consulting my solicitor today to see if any action can be taken regarding deformation or slander. Defamation. The poster has not slandered, libelled nor defamed anyone in the above post, apart from possibly the establishment, and most of the papers do that on a daily basis with no legal action ensuing As a reference maybe some would like to look at this web page. Don't think that a news group (no matter where hosted) is immune from such action. http://www.yourrights.org.uk/your-ri...ight-of-free-e... I will report back on how I get on today. I have a suspicion that you're wasting your time, however if you feel strongly enough, then good luck. I have a problem with cats defacating and urinating on my garden/grass, but I don't feel strongly enough to do anything much about it. The cat's actually quite cute. Reply sent. |
