I used to have a next door neighbour whose cat would come into my back garden for a poo. I let me dog out to it a couple of times (knowing there's no way he'd catch it), and it sorted the problem virtually overnight. Dunno what you do if you don't have a large, noisy dog though.

Isn't Rugby League a bit rough for you?

nope, just has some idiots following the game (and playing it)

AND ... we have a small number who are all those things rolled-up into one.

I wonder what the new archbish makes of catophobia?
All god's creatures and all that etc etc.
I just hope that, whatever his views, people won't be bashing the bishop.
That would be sinful.

Indeed, and it is, thankfully, a very small number, the rest of us just argue about opinion, as opposed to any deep seated intolerance.

Just thinking some pastime involving cuddly bears, prancing lambs, fluffy clouds and generous splashes of pastel colours might be more your thing?

The harsh realities of life seem to be a bit much for you at times.

What, killing domestic animals is a bit harsh?

Tell you what, you keep to your standards and I'll keep to mine, no need to cross paths.

That's kind of what happens on a public forum. Tell you what, don't want a reply? Don't post.

I doubt anyone on here's dog has actually ever caught a cat (and probably wouldn't know what to do if it did) and I've not seen anyone seriously advocating killing domesticated cats. Scaring them off so they think twice before spending too long in your garden is fair enough. I don't want cat sh*t all over the place.

Yes, and who wants a cat leaving its sh!te all over their garden?

As I said, I don't have anything against folk keeping pets, but if they come and leave their filth on my property, then I will eliminate them...

Wouldn't leaving food out for them encourage them even more to come into your garden?
