And then there's the whole issue of Toxoplasma Gondii which modifies rat's behaviour in interesting ways. And it is estimated that 1/3 of people are infected. Recent research has also linked toxoplasmosis with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia. Numerous studies found a positive correlation between latent toxoplasmosis and suicidal behavior in humans. Not a nice by-product of cats - arguable more dangerous than "dangerous dogs". |

Stop blaming cats for everything, it really annoys me. You need to accept that some cats do crap in other peoples gardens and that some people don't like cats. When the two coincide there is bound to be friction. -- Cheers Dave. |

You are right, no cat would want to touch that sort of vermin. He seems to sit at his computer just waiting for a mention of cats so that he can post that same old comment again. What a wasted life. |

Doesn't fox poo have a very "foxy" but not unpleasant smell and a pointed end? Cat poo smells foul. I've been told (somewhere, probably on a Ray Mears wildlife prog or the like) that all predators turds have a pointed end. Presumably to prevent the anus slamming shut and thus giving their presence away to their prey. I do like that one :-) Yes I do too. A gentle slam. Is my preferance, but, of course, I am not always in control! Baz |

Yes, but they foul in someone elses garden. Burying it makes it 100 times worse. There are no cat shit detectors. You only know it when it's disgusting odour is on your hand or your tool (no remarks please). Baz |

Maybe you ought to change the coolant in your car and forget to dispose of the bowl full of old coolant... Please explain what this means, David. I think the coolant would be disposed of ... sensibly. Do YOU forget? We don't forget to get rid of hazardous waste. It is part of life now. It is what most of us do now. I admmit there are grey areas. Baz |
