In article , K
writes Chris ] writes Is it OK to bury cat droppings? The theory is that the closer the digestive system is to ours, the more likely it is that the faeces will carry organisms that are a problem to us. So herbivore faeces are no problem, and we happily use horse manure on the garden. Human faeces are potentially a problem (though still used, I believe, in some parts of the world). Dogs and cats are carnivores, and probably not a good idea to use their faeces in bulk. Thanks for that. I will bag up and bin it. -- Chris |

"graham" wrote in message ... "David WE Roberts" wrote in message ... "K" wrote in message ... Chris ] writes Is it OK to bury cat droppings? Well, (some) cats do ;-) The theory is that the closer the digestive system is to ours, the more likely it is that the faeces will carry organisms that are a problem to us. So herbivore faeces are no problem, and we happily use horse manure on the garden. Human faeces are potentially a problem (though still used, I believe, in some parts of the world). Dogs and cats are carnivores, and probably not a good idea to use their faeces in bulk. Also, if it's come from a litter tray, the litter is basically clay and not particularly useful to your soil. As far as I am aware human faeces are used as fertiliser in this country after suitable treatment. Google gives http://orgprints.org/8477/1/njf4.pdf which claims 30-40% of sewage sludge is used as fertiliser in Nordic countries. Also http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencete...ser-crops.html. I am pretty sure they used to use it (and may still) around Suffolk. It is treated to destroy pathogens, though, so I wouldn't use cat crap as the main source of fertiliser for your slad crops :-) I remember a large dump of it on the old Ipswich Airport. It was an excellet source of tomato plants! Graham I'm always surprised there isn't a good crop of maize too. Why anyone eats sweetcorn escapes me - it comes out exactly as it goes in.

Nevertheless, I put a lot of effort into training my cats and it does make a difference. However, I'm aware that I can't follow them around the road whilst they poop. If I'm in the garden and see them next door about to poop, then I tell them off. However, I believe they mainly wee next door and use my garden for their poop, which suits me fine. I am the kind of responsible cat owner who likes to examine the poop periodically to check for looseness or worms. I should point out that I do worm my cats, but when puss decides to eat a worm-infested mouse, it's got to come out somewhere :~(. I can only hope that doesn't happen next door when I'm not there to stop it. -- Spider from high ground in SE London, gardening on clay. |

Bringing any sort of pet into your home or garden means you are responsible for what it does. It's no good trying to blame it on the animal's 'nature' because you should be aware of that nature before you take it in. If you are not prepared to accept responsibility for what your pet does then you shouldn't keep it. And the same goes for children of course! |

: "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. My next door neighbour's Budgie does not foul my garden---why?(it's caged) I can control vermin ie: kill rats,mice,pigeons etc. legally but not a cat because it is someones 'property' I don't want cat poo buried in my garden-simple as that-. My kids get it on their hands and clothes when they try to grow vegetables flowers etc: 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. Read above please 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. Cat owners in my opinion own them, and a lazy bunch generally because they don't need to take them for a walk or they think they as owners are not responsible for them, but thet ARE responsible for them 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 could not care less about how old they are at any stage in their lives or when the leave the mother......that is up to the owner who may be responsible or (usually) otherwise. 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!!! :-) Dogs and irresponsible owners of. You can report the owners and if you have proof of anything illegal then there are laws to stop/prevent it.(but not cat owners..they are special) |
