How do you register a cat?
Mar 24^th, 2012 at 8:27am

We were very surprised, in fact flabberghasted, to find cats had to be registered in Queensland.

We occasionally registered our dogs in Lower Hutt but wouldn't do so untill treatened with total destruction. Our two dogs were never let out on purpose and we were responsible dog owners.

But cats? You have to be kidding.

Hasn't it occurred to anyone that cats are roaming animals.

So if an inspector knocks on the door and sees your moggy, you say; "Well, it doesn't belong to me, why not try the guy next door?"

So the inspector goes next door and of course the man says: "I dunno, I feed him occasionally, but I think he might have a home at No 16, wehy don't you try there?"

Registering children during WW2 in England was even easier. For some reason the more kids you had the more you got, both of money and the other thing we don't mention on a respectable forum.

As tenements tend to be close together (and I think by now you know where I'm going here), it was a simple process for the inspector to count the same tribe of grubby youngsters over and over again.

Think about it

Reply #1 - Mar 24^th, 2012 at 8:39am I think you register and microchip them so when I take them to the pound they don't get destroyed. Cat's don't have to roam outside and they do a lot of damage when they do.

Reply #7 - Mar 25^th, 2012 at 2:33pm The best way to register a cat is with a shovel across the melon or a .22 Roaming cats should be fair game to exteminate as a feral pest. Poeple who own cats should keep them inside.

My wife and I drove 5km north of Warialda NSW (near Qld border) saturday last week and both of us saw a big one run in front of the car. Black, bigger than a cattle dog, running low and straight, cat face, and tail about .6 metre about width of broom handle the whole length. Later we saw black wallabies, and some dogs at a kennel which were different looking somehow.
Rex Gilroy says they go to Qld border in summer and then come down south when the dry starts, to breed around the Hunter. There is a video blog taken near Wollongong by 2 young blokes on trail bikes.

Reply #9 - Mar 25^th, 2012 at 4:27pm Plug it into the computer and enter the OEM code that Microsoft provided. For a Manx Cat, you will need a docking port. Alternatively you could always go for a Shareware cat. You don't have to register them, but one of the legs falls off after a couple of weeks.

WHERE did you read that?

I've had a cat, or cats here for 22 years, and they've done no damage to anything.

In fact they've helped the native wildlife by culling the introduced species of birds that environmentalists consider to be 'pests'.

And they don't stray from my property. They're locked up at night. They're fed twice a day to keep hunger-pangs away.

I've had a bird-stand in the backyard for years where I've put a cup of Mixed Bird Seed each morning for the local birds ... not one of these has ever been caught by my cats.

The 'destruction' propaganda the Greenie commos have been putting out about domestic cats is pure bullsh*t.

I've had fairy wrens living in my hedge ever since I came here, and not one has been killed by a cat.

Same with the little Silver-eyes that come up here from Tasmania to eat the honey off the Silky Oak combs ~ none killed.
