Cats in your garden - You can be heard!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am an animal lover. I have no particular grievance about any living thing. Yet, cats in the garden and especially the mess they leave behind is wearing me down. There is an abundance of legislation for dogs but not cats. Someone who feels the same way in that something should be done has created a petition on the Downing Street Website. If you want to add your name and let your voice be heard then it only takes 200 signatures for further action to continue. See http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/cat-laws/

I've only just come across this but will be advertising it at our allotment association. If other gardeners who have an issue with this problem advertise this around the allotment bazaars then there should be enough names to make an impact.

Thank you for your time in reading this - you only have until 1 December 2007 so act now.

Do you know where your cat goes when he's "out playing?" I certainly wouldn't want to be following him, in the dark, through the fields and gardens, I'd surely get arrested..................

OK, I have a picture in my head.

It's a dark winters night. The wind is howling and all sensible folk are tucked up in bed.

But out there braving the elements are soaking wet, freezing cat owners, crawling through the undergrowth and covered in mud and scratches. What are they doing???

Yes, they are cat stalking with their pooper scoopers Rolling Eyes

It'll be nappies for cats next, you just wait and see! (I will find that very expensive, having 8 of them including the outside strays). So will Nanny . . .

the idea is a load of old poo as far as i can see

having said that, i don't like finding cat poop in my garden and they are my cats

equally i don't like cat litter trays, 7 cats i a cat litter tray is not a pleasant thing to have to clean out

i don't know what the answer is to this problem

cats are indeed different to dogs and until the species changes into something that does not feel the need to wander around a territory, i think we are stuck with the problem unless like in our previous home, you put the cats in an enclosure so they can't wander into anybody else's garden....they soon get used to it, ours did and i never wondered where they were or if they had been run over.....her of course it is a completely different set of circumstances and the cats are members of the rodent elimination team that we operate..and very good at it i have to say
