OK to bury cat droppings?
"Part_No" wrote "Bob Hobden" wrote "Chris" wrote Is it OK to bury cat droppings? Would it be OK under apple trees or gooseberry bushes? 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. Why??? Birds, insects, small animals constantly foul your garden so why pick on cats, they at least normally bury their poo and there is a bonus in that they do something about other pests. (mice, rats, pigeons...) God forbid you get a fox with cubs in your garden, from experience on our allotment, they really do know how to destroy stuff. 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. What's wrong with them pooing on your ground, just ignore it. Lazy cat owners should be made to account for their furry pets poos. As a cat owner I don't understand what is lazy about an owner allowing their cat out. I have one, now elderly pedigree cat (19.5), who has never pood outside, she has always used a tray, even come in to use it, the other is a young stray and lived feral for a while (under our BBQ) and he won't consider a tray even though we have constantly tried to encourage him too. Part of the problem is breeders that allow non-pedigree kittens to be sold/given away before they are 12 weeks old. The organisation in charge of Pedigree Cats insists they have to be. By that time the mother will have house trained them and taught them to use a tray and it will stay with them for life as it has all our pedigree cats. Perhaps you could start a petition for a new law on that topic. 12 weeks minimum before they leave their mother. 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 Dogs and irresponsible owners of; now don't get me on that topic!!! :-) -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |
