cats...grrrr

[playwell]

I gotta say I cant stand cats and some of their owners are worse than their cats.

I would not be cruel to them though. and yes I am sick of them sitting on my averies.

I like the idea of the painting them and the possum trap sounds like a good next step.

(White cat turned blue, haha)

There is nothing wrong with owning a cat, or a dog or a dragon or a python or a frog or anything... so long as you are responsible, take care of the animal and prevent it from doing any harm.

Try rolled oats cooked for 12 mins in microwave, add a lil bit of milk, dash of honey and a raw egg. Through in a few diced grapes on top and it will fatten him up in no time.
It's what i use to give skinny lizards when i was doing WIRES stuff

I was thinking that but as a responsible gun owner I will only mutter that to friends

I have heard that a disolved disprin in milk for the cat will fix the problem. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I've heard that too.

As a veterinary nurse i can guarantee that paracetemol/disprin of any brand will cause the kidneys in a cat to fail and the cat will over heat due to not being able to regulate its own body heat. The cat will overheat and die

Seriously, i am an animal lover. I do admit to taking cats to the RSPCA as i could never cause intentional pain to any animal..Sorry Simone

people know cats are killers and they still let them outside which is wrong in my opinion. as i have a cat and she will never go outside unless we ever get a cat run in the backyard. as they say there are no bad cats just bad cat owners. if you let your cat outside they are more than likely to kill wildlife.

 

[OuZo]

ah and up until half way thru page 2 i was actually quite pleased that nobody had gone on about how all cats should die.

in the defense of cat owners, i think it's actually healthier for the cat to be an outdoor animal (jmo and i'm not talking about their effect on wildlife here), and i dont know if you guys understand how hard it is to keep a cat indoors who's been going out all it's life. my cat has literally broken windows to get outside and when you rent a house you usually don't have the option of tacking chicken wire to the landlords fence like a mini zoo. and even then if you owned the property i'm sure it doesn't increase the value :roll: . and yeah sure i don't let my cats out at night (sorry if that makes me dumb :roll: ) but when they used to escape at the dump we used to live in they brought stuff home they'd killed...feral house mice only tho. and now when they go out during the day they NEVER bring anything home. so you may not believe it but i do believe cats mainly hunt at night. so NER :twisted:

people talk about how those people in that US thread are idiots cos they think snake owners are irresponsible etc, yet most people here do the same thing with cats. sorry for the rant but it's hard being a lover of both and listening to people talk about killing them...just like its hard to hear of people killing snakes :?

with out proof Zoe you are putting yourself on the line, predatation is not difined to specific time frames its a matter of timing and availabilites on most accounts.

That's a bit rough.
Let me tell you, if your snake comes into my yard and kills my animals like my neighbours cats have done in the past, I'll either kill it or rehouse it, same as I've done for several cats.
I've no problems with people owning cats, but they should never ever be allowed to leave that persons property. We don't allow snakes to do so, nor birds or goldfish. Why are cats the exception?
I have a RIGHT to live with no cats coming into my yard. My kids have a right not to get ringworm from cats crapping in their sandpit.
If menagerie can do it, surely everyone else could?

 

[OuZo]

i don't agree with killing someone's pet. are you saying you wouldnt argue if your snake escaped and the next door neighbour killed it because it went into their yard?

 

[Brodie]

I often humanely kill cats that come into my yard. They destroy wildlife if they can, i have seen cats hunt and kill birds etc during the day.

I am proud too humanely kill them, and if the owner cannot keep the cat on their own property, they are not responsible enough too own the animal. NO EXCUSES

well I can't see the point most ppl would kill a reptile instantly with out a second thought, I know I and mates have saved countless blueys from shovels and other blunt objects from neighbourhood heros, a reptile to a cat or dog is not really a fair comparisons Zoes most ppl wouldn't consider wacking one as the RSPCA and police will ream you butt as quickly as you would do it, where'as doing in a reptile would have non of the same consequences. my thoughts
