Are you sure it's a cat .... on your lawn?
Cats usually go somewhere they can cover theirs over.

The one who craps on my front lawn doesn't

Ha ha..... That myth again.

Not true. They crap anyplace and anywhere when it's outside. They're not bothered about covering it up.

Yes - and the one that used to do the most disgusting craps in my stone-slabbed backyard didn't either.

Running out and screaming at the cat only put it off for a day or two. Chucking a bucket of cold water down over it from a first floor window put it off for a week. In the end I poured bleach over the slabs and it either couldn't smell where its favourite spot was or just hated the stink of the chemical; either way, that stopped it.

Today programme reporting people trying to feed their cats on a vegan diet and advice at cat shows etc....

WTAF.

If this is true (I've not read the whole thread ) imo that's animal abuse.
It's like starving the cats.

It was a publicity stunt by PETA, the predicted reaction got them the coverage they wanted, and most of the village took it with a piece of salt ( low sodium, free of additives and free of any animal testing) ...

I am a member of PETA

I'm a vegetarian.

Make your mind up, I thought you were a pensioner.

There's a pub somewhere, was called The Shoulder of Mutton. It's been renamed to avoid upsetting vegans, or Democrats as they're called in my house.

What did they change the name to?

The Bucket of Mung Beans, perhaps...

The cat that lived next door to our last house was so friendly that it used to come into our gaff. One day it decided to have a pee in one of the bedrooms so my missus grabbed it and gave it a thorough soaking under the kitchen tap. It avoided our house after that.

Will the carvery still do sunday roast.

Alas, nut roasts only, and the staff have been issued with smart new uniforms.

To be fair , you cant expect a cat to lift up a stone slab .

No they don't. Cat owners tell themselves that so that they don't have to worry about the neighbour's kids, who innocently play out in their own garden, and find the cat turd in the lawn that the parents failed to spot on their daily poo patrol.

I'm a cat owner and never even thought that, much less told it to myself.

I'm quite cool with it thought. After all, my neighbours are happy to pollute my air with their needlessly big cars, so they can't complain when a bit of pollution comes their way.

Let he who has never polluted cast the first turd.

How did fishing come into this topic?

I don't know much about fishing. For a long time i thought 'brown trout' was a euphemism for a floating jobby!

I often hear cat owners say that cats are free spirits.....
One thing i've noticed about cats that roam about wild and free, is that they are never pedigree cats like Siamese, Persian etc. They are just the usual bog standard cats.
I can only assume that owners of pedigree cats keep them indoors for fear of losing them, or them coming to some sort of harm. Do owners of ordinary cats care whether they lose them or not ?
I wouldn't dream of letting my dog roam free.... i'd be devastated if anything happened to him.
