    I love cats because I enjoy my home; and little by little, they become its visible soul. :)

    Cats are the new foxes, which were the new "devil dogs". I expect badgers will be next - that or dormice.

    Given the woman's fondness for taking photos regarding the story she went to the papers with,and the DM's love of exaggerating narratives, it's curious there are no photos of said blood spattered curtains and carpet! DM photographers and the paper's readers love that kind of thing.

    Also how does she know the stray attacked her cat as she alleges, since she claims she "was in a deep sleep" when the encounter first started?

    We've taken in a couple of feral cats and once they're not scared anymore they're lovely pets. Shooting them is a nasty thing to do. Some people make me sick.

    It's not nasty at all, it's humane.

    Erm...many animals tend to run amok, going to the toilet on other peoples properties.

    Do they?

    What other domestic pets do then?

    Not really, like I said, cat behaviourists can turn these cats around. Shooting is just the lazy or thick option but then ferral behaviour isn't just limited to animals,

    Maybe we should lock up all men

    Just look at its face!! Pure evil! The Daily Mail needs to report on this new threat, write after thet stop attacking women, foreigners and travellers and the BBC, and everyone who isn't a member of the Royal Family.

    They're vermin, and it's not unreasonable to treat them as such. Cat behaviourists, don't make me laugh.

    Erm dogs, when their owners let them. Chav behaviour isn't just limited to chavs.

    Foxes are wild animals, cats are not.

    Cat's are domestic animals and their owners should be held accountable for them far more than they are currently.

    Really?

    Dogs are just running everywhere over peoples gardens like cats are they? Of course they are not.

    Funniest thing I have read in a while. Pay hundreds or thousands for a "cat behaviour" expert to come round vs the price of a .22 round. I think I know what most people would choose.

    They're vermin only because cat-hating people label them as such..

    As for cat behaviourists, you need to watch 'My Cat from Hell' on Animal Planet and see just how knowledgable they are. The guy looks like a Hells Angel but with more knowledge about cats in his little finger than you have in your brain.

    On judgement day, I hope you have a good reason for wishing mindless violence on one of God's creatures.

    We get dogs coming round the back of our house, chasing our cats down the road, crapping everywhere. Dog owners can be every bit as inconsiderate as cat owners when it comes to keeping their pets under control. People say just keep cats indoors but it's not easy at all when they want to go out.

    In what world is a .22 bullet through the head "mindless violence" with vermin?

    Right, so the chav who was fined over £1000 for letting his Pit Bull poo in a neighbours front garden wasn't causing any harm?

    And dogs didn't really kill a teenage girl did they? Numpty.

    Dogs also want to go out. Responsible pet owners do not let their animals run free.

    It's unnecessary. They kill vermin - mice, rats, rabbits, all sorts. When a feral cat is rescued and learns to trust their new owner they are lovely animals. Some ferals get aggressive because they're scared, or protecting their kittens.
