Cats

Our strange cat is out all night every night, sometimes he’s gone for days on end, and at best he only pops in for food.

We don’t think he likes us much

Good idea kircubbin but I don’t think my dog will like it!

mine will only use the litter tray,they can be out for a couple of hours then come sliding across the kitchen floor to get to their loo .Its hilarious ,and they dont catch birds ,they bring in snails and wasps and play with them but no birds..yet.I didn't get feathery toys for these two maybe thats why they dont go after feathers .

Get a cat of your own and he will protect his territory. I have never found poo since I got him.

Yes, my neighbour has 3 cats and they crap all over my flower beds - I get so fed up of it. I use garlic powder in an attempt to keep them off. It works for a while and then they just come back. Any suggestions to keep them off gratefully received.

I have always religiously kept my cats in overnight, but two of mine were run over, 18 months apart, at around 8 am when people were driving to work.

One of the animal charities, possibly Cats Protection but don’t quote me, do ask that you shut cats in overnight. Their reasons include less fighting, less chance of being run over. We have always shut ours in overnight. We have three so probably a good thing that we are not moving to Oz anytime soon.

We have a neighbour who has 5 and she looks for more online. They poo in all our gardens; our veg plot stinks and other neighbours have young children who play in the garden where they’ve left their calling cards.
We also have lots of wild birds too but the cats decimate the young.
I’d love a law like that here!

I think a cat is it's own person.

I'm not keen on the idea of house cats, but perhaps out there its dangerous for them to be out.
