Domestic cats troubles
Dear group
I have started a Yahoo group to discuss this growing problem in a sensible and balanced way. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CatControl/ If you are troubled by the growing number of domestic cats or have successfully driven them from your garden then you may like to join. This will be a well run and moderated group. No extreme views or ideas, nothing that seeks to do harm to any animal will be tolerated. Its a indisputable fact that most areas of urban UK are over run with cats. Society has changed so that other pets have fallen from favour. Most guilty cat owners feel the need to have two cats to act as 'company' for each other. We are all forced to live in less and less space, the wild habitats are being lost meaning that an unfair burden is being placed on private gardens. Natural predators are visiting gardens now as their proper hunting area has been lost! Wild life is suffering, cats mess and destruction is a serious nuisance to some of us. And why should we have to put up with someones else's animal on our property especially if its causing distress and nuisance. There is a bewildering number of methods to defend your space. It is my hope that we can help each other with the best 'legal' methods. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please note I will not respond to this thread. Mike Sussex UK |

Few such places are outside the territory of a cat, which causes major havoc to the ecology. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Regards, Nick Maclaren. I'm not a cat lover or a keeper and I don't doubt cats do affect the ecology. Some areas probably do have a bad problem but to say *most* suburban areas are *over run* is a wild exaggeration. Of course, I'm willing to be convinced otherwise if there is evidence from reputable reports/studies. |

"indisputable fact that most areas of urban UK are over run with cats" Not annoying, but it is difficult to see how a subjective judgement concerning the population density of cats can be elevated to 'indisputable fact' status. |

Indeed, even though there is better evidence than mere subjective judgement out there. I fully agree that the "indisputable fact" claim was mere polemic. What is not true is that the fact is simply made up. For at least some reasonable definitions of the words, the statement is almost certainly true, and at least could have been based on fairly solid evidence. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
