Ok, if you are happy for cats from irresponsible owners to come in great number to crap all over your garden I will happily direct them to your place

Perhaps some of that £27 million is being spent on poop scoops, cat deterrents or feline nappies...Pussy Pampers... Did you think of that, eh?
Surely such items should be part of the regular shopping for any responsible cat owners, and not Christmas presents I hope that those who are spending on diamante necklaces for their pussies saw the ITV evening news where 500,000 children in the Yemen are staring, malnourished, and dying |

When people are paying in excess of £1000 for a pet then inevitably several people will milk that source of disposable income including pet insurance , vets and any itinerant dog trinket sellers .

"Britain's animal lovers will spend over £27 million on Christmas gifts for their pets this year, according to new research published today by The Blue Cross animal welfare charity.
Flashing antlers and collars with bells on them are just some of the gifts that dogs, cats, guinea pigs and rabbits across the nation can expect to wake up to on Christmas morning. The Omnibus survey carried out for The Blue Cross reveals that half of the nation's pet lovers are set to buy their pet a present this Christmas. Most people will spend an average of £4 on their pet." http://www.prnewswire.co.uk/news-rel...154652565.html Meanwhile children in Syria, Africa, and some parts of the UK suffer pain, hunger, and sickness Who are you to tell people how to spend their hard earned cash. How do you know what pet owners donate to suffering children? |

So stick that in your pipe and smoke it ![]() ![]()

Just let them try stealing my cat's Dreamies - it will be World War 3
Our wuss would roll over and let them take her treats. But I'd just buy her something nice to cheer her up. I'm not quite at my £27 million limit. Quote:

If you feel that strongly, then sell your house, or whatever, and donate the proceeds to charity.

I've spent about £200 on my boys this Xmas. They both got new beds (well one got a rug) a load of nice healthy treats from Skippers, some new coats and harnesses.
And they even have their own turkey on Xmas day. |

If we work hard for, and earn, our money, we are entitled to spend it, however we wish, as long as it is legal.
I have never desired children, but used to breed boxers, so my guys are my family. I spoil them rotten, feed them an holistic diet, health supplements, etc. I look after them, in the same way I would if they were human children. Why have them, otherwise? Whilst I can empathise with the plight of countries like Syria, Africa, we do not have to look very far, in the UK, for ways to spend our taxes, etc., the NHS, the welfare state, charitable causes. One of the ways in which we can help these third world nations, is to supply them with contraception, to prevent the population continually increasing. |
