[Snake Catcher Victoria]

skinny huh...ill fatten him up for a while i think

 

[Already_Gone]

That is the reason I will never own a cat...

 

[Rusty99]

What exactly happend?

 

[Rusty99]

yes i agree, ive seen so many deaths in lizards, due to cats!!!

 

[Bouncer]

It's in good hands now. I have a family of Wild Blueys that produce babies every year, living in my garden and I also own a cat. I'm probably just lucky. My cat is too fat to care.

 

[Snake Catcher Victoria]

What exactly happend?

....she told me she went into her garden, where she enjoys the company a few blueys.and a cat(not hers) was munching on it...shes heartbroken..

which is why my cats only go outside on a chain. I had to sign a contract to that effect. Also because of my conscience! COuldn't have them ripping into the wildlife!!!

My beardie/turtles/fish/python and cats are all mildly interested in each other.

 

[Bouncer]

I just think my cat is so used to being around animals that it just doesn't care as long as his food dish is full.

the practice of "putting the cat out at night",is well entrenched in the minds of a lot of people,ud think it would be a thing of the past by now

"My cat is locked inside at night". What is it with cat people and the belief that their cat doesn't kill during daylight hours?

 

[craig.a.c]

Cats are natural born killers, they all have that instinct in them.

Before i start, Im not a cat hater, although i dont own one, i dont mind them at other peoples houses. But what i do hate is all the neighborhood cats coming into my yard, they are always laying on my lizard pits stressing out my lizards. Our next door neighbor got 4 cats a couple of years ago and that year i bred no lizards in my pits.I have been and seen all the people and asked them to keep them out but they think their cats have a right to go where they want. Imagine if one of my snakes was in their yard, the shovel would be straight out. In the end i told them all to keep their cats out of my yard and id keep my taipans out of theirs.Still no good. Not only do they haunt my lizards but they have been in my shed and knocked over cages of mice and once they jumped up the wall of my patio and pulled the bird cage off the wall (hopefull the birds flew away, i didnt see any feathers). I just dont get how they think their not responsible. There had my whinge.

I'd start taking measures Pike, if you see them out there at night (so neighbors don't see) pick up the nice kitty go for a drive a few suburbs away and dump it that would be the harmless way... or try to scary/hurt the cats until they stop coming and by hurt I mean a smack across the rump nothing cruel.

 

[nuthn2do]

I hear fluoro hair paint from the $2 shop and a note around the neck about "not coming home next time" works very well.

 

[Skorpious]

lol i also just thought calling the local pound might do it, if they have to pay $200 (or whatever it is there) to get fluffy out they might reconsider.
Also Mick is probably always looking for food for Brutus.

I am fully aware that my cats are killers, that's why they only go for walks on their chains. That's a rather broad generalisation. I am also a herp person, and a responsible animal owner.

couple years ago we had a neighbour cat bring dead blueys into our front yard, I approached the owner and she says that I'm a lyer and so I told her next time the cat is in my yard sometime bad gonna happen to cut the story short a white cat turned into a blue cat thanks to a spray can and then I called the pound week later and they came and collected the SOB

 

[bobcox49]

I know what you mean by cats sitting and waiting at the wire..I got a possum trap, showed it to my neibours and told them.."The trap is being set every night and whatever i catch goes" Surprise Surprise, thier cat stays in every night. In 4 months i have dropped 3 cats at the RSPCA. I have not been told that what i am doing is illegal !!!!
