Surrey Phil Aug 2017 1:49pm, 1 Aug 2017 2,001 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil I once lived next door to a guy with about the same number of cats as Thornton Runner. He never bothered to get them neutered and the kittens got pregnant far too young. I think he was unemployed at the time and saw it as a way of paying for his fags. Someone called the Cat Protection League once but they couldn't act as there was no neglect. As far as the cat crap was concerned, he even had the nerve to say to them (while I was weeding in the borders), that I was getting their loo ready. Needless to say when I found any mess, it went straight into his garden!

With that sort of attitude cat owners may as well pop out and shit in ofher people's gardens. Well in effect they do by not training their cats, the dirty little beggars.

Carpathius Aug 2017 10:10pm, 1 Aug 2017 12,254 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius Mr Next Door's cat did an admirable job of keeping any other of the numerous neighbourhood cats out of our garden, simply by being a malevolent creature that would fight anything and seeing our garden as part of its territory. After it died, lots of cats came in and started shitting everywhere - until we got chickens, which turned out to be just as ferociously territorial as Mr Next Door's cat had been. I haven't so much as seen a cat walking along the fence in about a year. So there's the solution - ferocious chickens!
