LOL Bugloss!

I actively encourage cats to visit my allotment. One has found a new favourite spot on top of my loo, and I love watching them slinking around in the undergrowth. The catnip patch is coming along nicely!

Cannot understand how anyone can dislike cats, or want to cause them distress.

Being a vegetarian, I can't even eat the little dears.

so lets get this straight to avoid having all the neighbourhoods cats from sh**ting in my garden I must
1... get a cat of my own which i do not want (hate the bloody things) and if having your own cats keeps others away from my garden how come i have so many come round.
2.. grow plants which I do not want to grow
or 3... wait up all bloody night to squirt them with a water pistol.

on tackling a neighbour on her cats visiting my garden i was told it was my fault for keeping my garden so nice....
bloody cheek

since I put the Beehives in the back garden we don't get any cats sh*tting in the garden anymore.

still can't understand folk excusing their beloved animals crapping in other folks gardens?

Since this thread started we have had an article on our local paper showing municipal byelaws.

Quotes as follows re domestic pets.

Cats over 6 months old HAVE to be spayed or neutered..this might be one reason why we see so few roaming here.

Cats have to be undercontrol the same as dogs..we can be fined if a loose cat or dog causes any damage to a neighbour.

In order to encourage cat owners to abide by the law they also put the following in the paper.

Cats left out at night have little chance of surviving in the dark due to the high population of coyotes in our area and there are many cases of large hawks and Eagles grabbing cats duriing the day and the cougars will take a cat or dog in daylight hours.

It didn't mention if the bears attacked them but the cats are probably too fast for them.

I thought you might find this interesting.

the foxes on one of our allotment sites have eaten all the feral cats that used to live there ( after eating the rats and rabbits)

so, 7) get a pair of foxes

Yep the cats get my garden plot and beds too but i'm collecting quite a stash of holly and rose prunings which does deter them somewhat. I must invest in a water pistol for a bit of fun. Might also fluster the pigeons as they quality control the greens... Until then i just open the door and 'cat swear' sssszzzz at them. They run. Mind you I haven't had trouble with moles so far this year. Perhaps the cold got them? ;) ;)

I like cats, he looks much too comfortable to move. Nothing in that pot, but he will not be so popular if he sleeps on my tomato plants.

I think dog poo all over the streets bothers me more, especially when trying to walk along with 2 children in tow.

Weird thing is I see little bags of dog poo around as well, if they can be bothered to bag it, why arnt they binning it?....sigh ???

Found a dead bird on the back lawn this morning, a fledgling starling its head ripped off. At least the Kestrels kill for food not fun.
