It's a matter of time till we hear a prime minister telling us that the £80bn they have to spend on flood defenses in London will be good for the whole country.

BOF Posted October 30, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 30, 2022 How the **** Brits are allowed to own cats above the normal domestic breeds legally. Things like caracals and servals. Specifically those 2. These things are highly highly effective predators. They are not even nearly domesticated. They are wild cats that look like hybrid breeds until they get pissed off and then you become the headline in a newspaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel 'owning' a cat in general is madness. Can't stand them. Horrible animals which even the most domesticated are still fairly wild. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full disclosure: I'm firmly on Team Cat, I love them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Dogs and cats are both great in their own way. I really don’t get the very widespread hatred of cats, save for the odd bellend amongst them they’re generally ace animals. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Our cat is testing our patience at the moment . He pissed in my running trainer about two week ago then pissed in the wife doc Martin on Friday . Cats are generally clean but he’s started getting a bit dirty in his old age . Maybe he needs to go vet and get checked out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people could keep their cats out of my garden I'd probably like them a lot more. I don't own a cat so shouldn't have to pick cat poo out of my lawn. Let alone worry about my son falling in it. The neighbours one also sat on the birdbox in our garden and stopped some bluetits nesting there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let alone worry about my son falling in it. If it's on your lawn, I'd be surprised if it's a cat. They generally go somewhere more private, like bushes, and where they can dig a hole and bury their shit. On the lawn, it's as likely to be urban foxes. We don't currently have a cat, but the neighbours on one side have two, and the other side have four. They all wander through our garden, and we never see any cat shit. But I wasn't going to get dragged into the cats argument... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
