Keeping a free roaming animal as a pet? Surely thats the inhumane bit?

Anyone who would ignorantly harm a Cat when there is no need to, is defeating the object in the first place, as your Kids should be kept away from you, as you are nothing more than what the Cat left on the ground, a worthless piece of shit. Some of the suggestions people come out with my make sick. There are many harmless ways to keep a Cat out of your garden and killing it is so uneccesary and just makes you a heartless bastard who should be locked up. Utter fucking TWATS, all of you who suggested killing it.

I do rememebr whilst living with my parents a neighbour further up the street having a simliar problem.

He soaked a bathroom sponge in tuna then threw it over the fence. The cat tried to eat it and it swelled up in it's throat and died.

It was a bit horrific to say the least.

Get your own cat. It will make and mark it's territory in your garden then other cats will stay away. Train the new cat to crap in the litter tray, job jobbed..

what a bunch of twats!! Kill it, let the dogs on it. FUCK OFF!!!! You have to be pretty fucked in the head to kill someones pet, which makes you no better than the chav scum who most of you detest that stomp on, and cut up peoples animals.

Get your self a watergun, that will do the job just fine.

You would never be writing this if your mrs was standing over your shoulder!!!

ffs , pet cats are not free roaming animals! ferrel(sp?) cats are free roaming animals and they are not pets. thats a bit like saying dogs should be allowed to roam the streets aswell because they were once wild free roaming animals . If you live in the countryside you have to expect some wild visitors so its a bit different

It should be down to the owner to ensure the cat is litter trained and in thier own house at night to stop it from having random turnouts in next doors garden and from nicking nearly a grands worth of fish out my fish pond. Im not a big fan of seeing any animal get hurt or killed but it fucks me off walking out the back door in the morning to the smell of cat shit and knowing i will have to inspect the garden for shit before one of the kids either rolls in it whilst playing or walks it into the house or car .

We have a staffy and every time he has a shit we clear it up. We let the dog out when we see a cat in the garden but unfortunately next doors cat keeps kicking the shit out of him , scratched nose,eyes and ear stupid fuck still keeps going back for more though

We had cats of our own and expected to need to clear up their crap to keep the garden clean but ours rarely went in other gardens they were too idle to get over the fence. I object to having to clean up after other people pets and i fail to see why people should put up with it. We have several cats that come in our garden here but i've yet to find any crap in the garden.
My parents on the other hand are blighted by the things, neighbours both sides have 2 cats each and they inevitably meet in the middle! They have ruined the paint on his car, ruined the fence and the gate, dig in the plant pots and climb in open windows! They've tried everything to keep them out to no avail! Absolute joke imho!!

lets turn this thread around for a mo
a dog can do just the same piss shit or whatever
but i would never think of harming a dog just because of this
this is the least of my worries
in some sad folks mind they think i'ts only a cat
let's do whatever
trust me you would be dialling 999 if i caught scum harming any of my pets
and thats only the start
deal with it humanely FFS

I dont totally disagree with that at all, the killing of peoples loved pets or any other animal though is unacceptable, and most of the knobs posting the comments wouldnt go through with it anyways!

Birds shit on the car far more than cats are we to start blasting the fuck out of the skies with a shotgun? Free roaming, can be shit yes i hate finding shit in my garden, the pebbles down the side of my drive is liek a litter tray But i wouldnt harm the cat! Its part of life that cats roam!

yes but responsible owners pick up the dig shot ( i do)
lets just turn it back again
one small point cat owners dont get a fine if their pet shits & they dont pick it up

end of the day it the owners responsibility to care for their pets needs whatever they may be,& if the neighbour refuses to train the cat to use a litter tray and kids live next door its time for the water pistol ( i aint a fan of the things but i wouldnt harm 1 intentionaly)

I have an idea, why dont you make a note of the cat, watch where it goes home for the night, go round and explain to the owners that it keeps shitting in your garden where your kids play. Tell them to come round and clean their pets shit up or you will and dump it through the letter box.....After the stink on their doorstep for a few nights im sure they will be knocking on your door for the weekly garden clean up. I have cats and if someone came round and told me this i would gladly clean it up for them and prob help to sort it out...


.....Or we could do like the rest of the double ard cat killers on here and kick them to death....hahaha fucking losers

the nails arent through the fence far enough to kill, just give a little jag to whatever climbs over. i have cats myself and theyve not died yet. i used to have local twat teenagers that used to jump on my sheds roofs . not anymore and anyone that fancies knocking on my door about it is more than welcome to.its not me that thinks im a hard cunt with all the "harm my pets and ill ..." etc etc.

I have been told the local zoo sells lion poo, and if you sprinkle some in your flower beds no cat comes within a mile of your house. sounds funny but might be true.

I have also seen metal signs of a black cat with 2 marbles as eyes,and these scare cats off.

Yes, they should give their cats a jolly good talking to, and stop their pocket money if they carry on!

What exactly should an owner do to be less selfish?
