Cat warpath
Jul 17th, 2016 at 4:43pm
 

I'm sick of roaming cats here.
Most nights I go out I see a cat.
We have no birds here now, we used to always have birds.

Have borrowed a trap from the city council.
Caught one on the first weekend, a wet weekend.
Now the after hours dropoff is full so it is downstairs overnight.

will prob meow and poo.

where is the river to put it in.

I've even got a cat in my neighborhood that chases the neighbours cats into their own homes. When owners try to get it out it doesn't even bat an eye. Couldn't care in the slightest that someone is shooing it.  It followed one particular neighbours cat into her bedroom, then proceeded to tear her cat apart on her nice white bedspread.

$1500 of surgery to her cat and one bedspread later, she's covered her rear patio so as to make sure she doesn't have a repeat. My suggestion to her was to next time use a shovel and then bury it.

Not sure why people agree dogs should be fenced off, but cats should be allowed to roam. They shouldn't. Lock the friggen things up or don't get a cat.

  Well there is the odd problem cat- AND dog.  Cats have been in Australia now so long they should not be considered as a an alien species anymore- they are now part of our ecology.  I love cats and yes they ( like dogs ) do present  problems  from time to time- I also love our wildlife, but even with cats thown into the mix it is NOT cats threatening species and driving them to extinction- It's man.  My cat does not roam. I have a lot of feral cats here the only problem they presented to me by them, was nocturnal noise.

  I don't care- man destroys the  habitats of wildlife and cause population decline of various species ie: Koalas for just  one.- fact

Gotta disagree with you on this one Orchid - I live in a native bush land area, and I've seen first hand the type of damage cats (and foxes) can do.

  Depends on the area... for the most part man is a far greater threat to wild life- not all experts are all that expert.

See, I have a problem with that argument. Are you suggesting that we limit what 'man' does? how do you propose to do that exactly? Does that mean we don't take any measures to protect our native flora and fauna because 'man is a greater threat anyway'?

Cats are easy to control if owners act responsibly. Restrict your cats movements, put a bell and collar on it and de-sex it. We do it for dogs, why not cats? All pretty easy things to do if you were so minded. Your excuses sound like just that,  excuses, for irresponsible owners. ALL the experts have said cats are a problem to our wildlife.
