Tiger the ginger one was a very good hunter, he used to catch the grey squirrels and once he even caught a young weasel and brought it in and it was playing dead so I had to get a plastic container and put it in that and quickly put the lid and it sprung into life hissing at me I let it go back to the field at the back of the garden. The joys of being a cat owner 🤣🤣🤣

Yep you can't beat having a cat as a pet.

Would be nice if my neighbour's cat wore socks when it walks all over my clean Black Magic Skoda to avoid leaving dirty cat sized foot prints on the bonnet and roof I see most days.

Yeah they are good at doing that one of mine was trying to walk up the window screen while I had the bonnet up and it was raining and it just kept sliding down it got fed up in the end but left nice dirty streaks over the screen 🐾🐾

This is the main reason I have never tried to polish my car in the 2 years since I bought it as imagine my dismay having wasted several hours of toil to see it ruined by said Moggy seeking somewhere to hide from the Summer rain or heat.

Yes I know the feeling well and it's not always one of my cats because I seen the neighbourhood's cat on my car before and a trail of footprints from the front to the back of the car

Same here, but these are the folks that give cat lovers a bad name.  The sort that think that there's no need for a litter tray when the obliging folks over the road have flower beds. Or raised veggie beds on the rear garden. If you keep a cat, the best one to get is a semi feral large vicious tom that will tear the toms who come to mark to bits and leave the she's walking funny 🙄. I don't now have a problem after three cats decided to hold a greet and meet on the rear garden a few days after  a sweet little "lady" dog came to live with us. Two cats cleared the side 6ft side fences. One thought it was safe on top of a six foot fence ,till it discovered that sweet little "lady"  is a JRT cross and can jump almost that high. BTW- I don't dislike cats, just the thoughtless owners that fail to provide for their needs. If cat owners provided litter trays outside for their cats, then the cats would not be forced to find a place away from home to foul.

SHY- solution is a sprinkler with remote control. In the days before I rehomed, I had cat problems. But I had fitted an external water supply to a hose with the valve inside the kitchen. I found that by fixing up the hose with jet to a post half way up garden I could spray from there to the rear fence. I'd let the cat halfway down the garden and then open the tap slwly to keep pace with the car for maximum effect. For the front garden I used a jug ,and left an upstairs window partially open. The perch of choice was the gas box under the bedroom window. Fill jug, silently open window and empty jug.I'd suggest that cats communicate as I only had to soak a cat in either garden once or twice for the message to get round .

missing word

Next door thinks cat situation not funny. She has two house cats .She's had them for a lot of years and we've never known she had cars. No smell of cats in her place- the cats are ( as the Americans say, )desexed, and are lovely large pets. My sister lives down in a cat exclusive cull de sac, where every body has a litter tray out for their cats. Again  no problems with dug gardens or smells. perhapsit's time to get UNPC and ask HOW many cats are wormed regularly as worms in cat faeces can give  humans eye problems. The PC way is to blame dogs for this problem. But responsible dog owners pick up after their wormed dogs.

We keep a jug of water next to the back door because as you say the neighbour's Moggy seems to be under orders to leave the contents of it's bowels outside our back door under the gravel. Thought of collecting it in an empty baked bean tin and returning it over the 6 feet fence with a Golfing cry of FOUR as a warning but no doubt I would end up in trouble with the local Plod.

My cats are wormed and flead monthly as is my Springer spaniel. All my cats are sterilized and I dig an area over for them I live in the countryside and have farmland behind me but throwing water at them is usually a great deterrent for them.

Unfortunately some dog owners either don't bother picking up after their dogs or think it's okay to leave poo bags in the hedges instead of taking home or putting it in a bin.

How did we go from indicators to cats? 😺

 

We will get put on the naughty step

Due to Cats somehow chasing Spiders is my guess. We need a new thread.

Yep- Lynn- it's on my hate list with cat owners not putting out litter trays. To me. a responsible dog owner always has warm hands, even on the coldest days.

It's the cat non rear indicator problem- same as some BMW drivers problem 😂

If I come back as an animal it will be a Koala as they are the laziest mammal in the world sleeping on average 22 hours per day. Don't fancy being a Dolphin as they go on a killing spree when sexually frustrated (sounds like the Yorkshire Ripper, because his nick name was Flipper).

My cat pees in the basin and poops in the bath, with me it's the other way around.

 

Mind you, I do live alone and am quite mad.

Thanks for clearing that up, BTW you may want to clean up the mess you made in the wash basin.
