OK to bury cat droppings?

I can't see why not, had an allotment where a neighbour had dozens of cats and we didn't have a problem. Bury it deep enough so you and others don't accidentally handle it. There are possible risks from faeces, horse manure is the biggest vector of tetanus, but normal sensible hygiene is all that is required. If you think about it, any risk can't be any worse than the daily cleaning out of a litter tray. Cat droppings are the PAIN OF MY LIFE in my garden. I have made a few frames covered with netting to stop them pooing on my freshly dug ground, and it works, but at sowing time I don't have enough of them. If I made enough for all of my areas I would be continually shifting them, one at a time, for every move I make. Lazy cat owners should be made to account for their furry pets poos. I wouldn't hurt a cat or any animal, but the owners!!!! Cats should be on leads in my opinion as dogs are. More than a bobs(shilling)worth of my opinion Part_No We live in a relatively isolated area and have a neighbour who has a number of cats. Having requested help to control the mess - frequently in our garden - and had the request ignored, we found that placing the offending mess in an envelope and posting it through the neighbour's letterbox was a pretty effective way of stopping the nuisance. We gave several warnings that this would happen before actually doing it. We don't have the problem any more. As dog owners, as well as "hosting" our daughter's pooch when she and brood are on holiday, we are well aware of the need for pets to be emptied regularly however the process can be managed without turning other areas into feline/canine lavatories. Pet owners must take responsibility for their pets! -- Gopher .... I know my place! |
