If the link does not work its on u tube and its called bury my gold fish.

Nearly choked watching that, from the mouth of children comes such fine truths ;-)

Cat owners think it's fine to let their cat out to **** wherever it pleases, and never pick up the poo. If I did that with my dog, I'd be considered very antisocial.

Far too many cats, not enough song birds.

 

Agree very much with this. Not to mention the fine dog owners are threatened with from not picking up. It's difficult to have any fondness for cats when you've found a freshly planted flower bed turfed up and £30+ of plants wrecked. Or worse still, getting cat **** all over your hands when you're doing a bit of planting.

This is a particularly valid point in our house as we are always having to clear cat mess off the gravel drive, flower beds, veg beds and even lawn. The worry for me is if my son gets it on him and gets ill from it and is almost guaranteed to need to go to hospital in Newcastle as it will trigger an underlying condition he has. It narks me as when I've said something to the neighbours all I get is, not my problem, can't stop cats being cats..... No but you can stop having so many and lock the darn things up!

Like said if it was a dog I'd be clearing it up and depositing it strate on to the owners front doorstep.

Jeez if a cat had the remote chance of hurting my little girl in any way it would be compost...

Surrounded by cats at our place, at least 8 doing "what comes naturally" (my arse, shouldn't be there in the first place). Very, very close to getting a dog, mainly to get rid of the cats. Any suggestions as to what kind of dogs are good with kids but like eating cats? (Already prepared my "but it's just doing what comes naturally defence"). God I hate cats (domestic, roaming all over the damn place cats).

If it savages a cat (just doing what comes naturally) I'd be very careful about keeping it round your kids.

 

How would you feel if the same dog turned on your kids?

[Gray git]

Greyhound, fast enough to catch them too and normally really friendly dogs, downside is you can't take it to work as might give the wrong image

[paullen]

Cats savage birds, wouldn't want them round the kids either.

I have two German shepherds, my neighbour's cats aren't foolish enough to come into my garden.
