My 5 all come in to use the cat litter then begger off out again, as for catching birds the only ones they get have flown into windows. We had a juvenile Blackbird do it the other day but luckily Maz saw it happen and I got to it before the Cats did, I plonked it up high in the hedge where it's parents could see it and I think it survived.

The big predator round this way is a Sparrowhawk,it sits on the Cherry out the front eyeing up the Ivy which is home to about 40 Sparrows...........they don't half go quiet when it's around

Get yourself a decent terrier, cats won't come near your garden. I have one - excellent cat deterrent...

'All cats – domestic and feral – are protected by the Animal Welfare Act of 2006 and it is an offence to trap or intentionally kill or harm them in any way. ... Also, because the cat is considered property, the act of taking acat and dropping it off somewhere is theft in the eyes of the law so do not do it.'

Apart from the above, I'd quite.... deleted..... as dear snowflake offended.

I'm out of here for a while. Things are getting bloody stupid.

We had neighbours move in with a Terrier, the guy said to me "I should watch your Cats mate, my dog'll kill em" About a fortnight later as they were getting into the car their Dog (off the leash) ran into our front garden to be met by my big ginger Tom, after a brief scuffle the Dog ran off yelping. A couple of days later the numpty tried getting me to pay the Vets bill, I told him to go away (rather less politely)

No it just met it's betters Tomi was a big lad, probably heftier than the dog (which allegedly had 'previous') but certainly taller and shared the house with

Sabor, my GSD, now if he wasn't scared of him then a little yappy thing was 'Nay Bother'

[QUOTE 5263317, member: 9609"]not allowed to touch them, some quirk in the law that allows others to release an invasive species into the enviroment that then spends its time killing our indigenous wildlife. We often have them in our garden killing the birds, it breaks my heart but there is nothing I'm allowed to do about it, picking up the feathers after it has killed another bird is your only choice. [/QUOTE]
They are not 'released into the environment'. There is evidence they've existed for 130,000 years
Edited to add... they have also been in Britain since at least the Iron Age.
