I suppose you think your very clever and funny 8doubles 

The RSPB use CatWatch to protect their nesting sites.  They do work. I use them in my garden.

The RSPB is not going to upset cat owners no matter how much damage the cats do !

£££££££££s in the bank 1st !

Sorry 8d,  I was forgetting what an old cynic you are 

RSPB and Aunty says that they work and I don't mind upsetting anyone

I read somewhere that the sonic dooberrys do work on some animals,

One chaps collie used to pull the plug out of the socket every time he turned it on !

This winter I used a couple of rodent sonic things to stop mice coming in our house over winter (they come in every winter) and didn't get a single mouse in the house. I watched a mouse scampering along our fence next to our living room and when it got in line with the downstairs plug in it turned and ran away so as the rodent ones work there is no reason why a cat one shouldn't.

The question to be answered ,

Is it right and proper that someone chosing to keep a pet cat means that it costs their neighbours money ?

[spottymint]

My issue is not cat or dog poo, it's biodegradable ! 

It's the idiots who walk their dog in the park, pick the poo up, but it in a plastic bag ..................... Then throw the non-biodegradable bag on the floor and walk off 

[bravemurphy]

Another question...is it right and proper to let your cat out knowing full well this time of year it will kill and play (until dead) with most of the wildlife in its territory?

I know responsible cat owners put a bell on their collar but not around here they don't.

[joyfull]

some people don't like putting collars on cats as they have been known to get caught by them.

True, but every time I put collars on mine, they come home without them. Elasticated collars are dangerous. You should fit quick release collars.

def dont agree with non cat owners paying for things to try and keep someone elses pet of your property. had a cat that was knocked down on my street o/h found it about 3 months ago, the owners lives three doors down but he was knocking on  doors at 11pm trying to find out whos it was,poor thing was dead but warm. its v quiet here not many cars at all, so just goes to show how risky it is leaving them out, plus a little lad up the rd knocked on tonight he was only about 11 said his cat was missing would i keep my eyes open. felt really sorry for him said i would and told him to knock o the houses behind, as ive heard some cats crying etc in the gardens behind. ive also read up on cats going missing and that have been used as dog bait for there fighitn dogs. terrible, i really do think cat owners should be more aware and responsible. if my dogs were left to wander and got knocked over i would feel terrible. there not disposable pets owners def need to take more responsibility. i  will now be looking out for a poor little lads cat another one missing or hurt possibly

Folks, this thread is getting perilously close to the site policy which asks for contentious topics to be avoided.  There are other places online for that ... please keep it light-hearted or it will be locked.

I think these subjects need to be aired, as long as it is kept within reasonable bounds .
A sort of pressure relief valve without going to join Ihateallcatsandcatowners.com 

On the subject of elasticated collars i found  2 flea and 1 regular hanging on the chainlink fence by a hole in my privet hedge before i put a paving stone in there.

I think tiddles did not like them and hoiked them off on purpose .
