The BBC are running a poll to find gardener's least favourite garden mammal.

I note the title of your peice and also that the BBC poll is about
garden 'mammals'. No guesses then as to what you are voting for!
I for one am a cat LOVER. In fact I would go further and say that I do
not dislike any animal. The only mammals I have ever hated have been
human beings.
Are humans listed in the poll? I hope so.

Humans aren't mammals... they're viruses. (Anyone going to see the Matrix?
*Grin*)

I think the poll had gone by the time I got there, but the one on the
Wild in Your Garden thing tonight was showing 8844 people think cats
should be kept in overnight as against 875 who think they should be
left out. If the Conservatives see that they'll be adopting anti-cat
policies before long...

The Wild in Garden poll is at

a quick poll of our two cats showed that 100% of our cats prefer to be
out on the tiles at night.

Badly phrased I admit! The point is that there are numerous cat owners who
take a completely irresponsible attitude to their pet's damage to other
people's property.
