cats are dirty animals
Why is it that owners have to clean up their dog foul but cats can destroy gardens, foul anywhere they like and nothing's said by councils? there should be a £1500 cat licence fee to put anyone off owing a cat.

No, it is 12.50.
Maybe dog owners have to clean up after their animals because they let their dogs crap on pavements, on kerbs and in public parks/ grass verges where us humans walk a lot and dogs never bury their faeces? whereas you don't see a cat stop and take a dump in pedestrian heavy areas, they tend to crap somewhere private. Also how do you know it's cat poo? Could be fox or hedgehog even? personally I find people who leave soiled nappies lying around in my local park more disgusting than some cat crap in my garden. |

No it was not it still exists in N.I, I have to pay 12.50 for each dog and they must also display a licence tag, an I.D tag AND they must be chipped.

The licence is a very good idea along with the chipping , dog law in N.I is very strict with heavy fines.

Properly brought up cats use their own gardens in the area provided. |

I still say they're dirty animals. Crap over gardens, and yes i've chased them away in the process of their first part of their dump! No difference in dogs shit and cats shit it's disgusting! At least dog owners are required by law to clean up their dirty mess, and a cat can shit anywhere in the neighbourhood.
Biggest pest the Romans ever brought to Britain. Carry all sorts of diseases and parasites too. |

Far worse are the chavs with their status dogs. I'll bet they don't get wormed for toxocara canis regularly (I mean the dogs, of course). |

you couldn't keep a garden clean with the amount of dirty cat owners in my neighbourhood. I'm thinking of getting nice black anti climb paint, some sort of an electric fence or failing that some sort of a powerful catapult. The anti climb paint sounds the best,cats hate it on their fur and tastes like their crap, and their owners then start hating their cats when their house becomes messed up with nice black paint.

Here's a question. Is it legal to relocate a cat that's in your property? What i mean is a cat trap and driving the cat about 20 miles away to a new home high up on a hill or mountain. The cat isn't harmed and the shit problem is solved. Forget about all the anti climb paint and the electric fence. Problem solved!
