Cats in trouble

My garden had purple slate over weed surpressant so cats could not dig it in and having a small garden (7mx7m)  could easily identify it. I have grown up with cats and cleared up my mum's cat messses as she would not go outside.
I do not think that a cat would lick bleach as it smells and would burn their tongue.
Speak to your neighbour and offer an olive branch.

I would make it known what she has said, that way if anything happens (pray god, it doesen't), but at least she will be firmly in the spotlight for the cruelty.

Why tell your daughter ? she must know she would tell you ? (maybe her plan was to wind you up).


Sorry I can't give any better advise.

The fact she's nice to your face, but then comes out with things behind your back, seems so nasty & makes things harder to deal with.

At least if she came to you before moaning to others, you could have looked for solutions, but to say nothing to you & threaten to poison them ?  I won't say what I am thinking.

Well I think you could say its near on impossible to treat cat owners the same as dog owners. Cats could stray for miles in a day and maybe be gone for a week or more, who knows what they get up to in that time and I wouldn't be prepared to follow them with a bucket and spade just encase they do naughties in someone's garden. If you was suppose to pick up after them you would be able to buy special poo bags for them the same as dogs. Sorry but cats are natural roamers and what anyone says about them there mine and they live like cats should do. That's why so many products are available for gardens as repellents. By the way she don't grow anything in her garden only loads of old motorbike and junk, so I've got my eye on her and I wouldn't hesitate to report her if need be simples.

I have a catWatch in my garden as I feel lots of wild birds and don't want the cats to hunt them.

I don't see any cats in my garden.

We've always provided soft soil toilet areas in the garden for our cats but the fact is that they use their business as a way of communicating to other cats about territory and dominance so often do it away from home.
The law recognises that cats are not like dogs - hardly trainable (you can say sit all day long and the cat will ignore you) but on the other hand, you never hear of them tearing a child to shreds.
There may well be cat poo in your garden but it's as likely to be a cat from half a mile away as the one next door.
There are good cat deterrents available and a squirt with a water pistol will do them no harm but putting down poison etc is illegal. Even if you hate the cats, think about the owner. Could be some little old lady or a small child heartbroken. Or some pyscho who'll come and discuss it with you when there are no witnesses 

Yes I also feed the birds and I don't think they would know what to do with it if they did catch one. As for the ginger on the fence he sounds very bold and brave maybe he classes it as his territory especially if you own a Tom cat. I think they go to her garden mainly for the mice there's loads in her garage so they do keep the mouse population down at least. My cats do have litter trays as well as going out. One of my Tom cats hasn't been home today yet looking out for him hope he's ok x
