Ruddy inconsiderate cat owners...

cat crap is foul..it stinks..its particularly sticky and really gets into the tread of your trainers as you mow the lawn

I should not have to be picking lumps of rancid faeces from MY grass when I have no cat

I can wash bird crap of my car with no bother..I have to go and get a plastic bag and physically handle the cat crap..it makes me sick..even more so if its slightly warm still

I'm going to start collecting it up and dumping into the cat owners garden..the selfish gits..why not have a litter tray in their kitchen and a cat flap where the cat can come in and dump its load in its owners house

No really I am not. A ring tone and a cat pooh. One is physical and one is not. One carries diseases and one does not.

They're both physical. What's the point in listing the unique drawbacks of what and not the other? It serves no purpose. Watch:

One annoys several people at once, one does not. One can annoy the same person very frequently one does not. One is very common in areas of numbers of people, multiplying the annoyance, one is limited to a back garden.

I don't want to kick cat pooh thanks :) I don't want it on my shoes, I don't want to tread it around my house. Where do i kick it to exactly?
No I have to get a garden trowel and scoop it up and then stick it in a bag and then stick it in the bin.

You get my point, a quick flick of the trowel or stick or whatever and it's in the dirt and soil of your plants and or bushes.

VIRII said:
Nah I should just let my 10 month old daughter crawl around in it and rub her hands and face in it instead right?

Why would you let your let 10 month year old daughter play in the dirt and muck of your bushes/plants etc?

VIRII said:
Or I shouldn't let her use the garden becaue other people need my garden for their cat crap?
Click to expand...

Seeing as she's 10 months old, I'm fairly sure you'll supervise her and not let her roam free in the garden.

VIRII said:
No... you're stretching here and I have never had a ringtone like that :) However 5 seconds of ringtone or cat pooh.... i'll take the ringtone everytime. I'd prefer neither of course.

If we're going to be pedantic it wouldn't be '5' seconds, I'm talking about when mobiles keep going off. On the train, in the cinema, whilst you're talking at work etc. They annoy everyone, but is anybody contemplating chucking their phones away out of consideration of others? No. The same reason why people aren't killing their cats out of consideration for the neighbours.
 
Been doing some asking around at work today from the gardeners and they say the sonic things dont work and to buy 'get off my garden' scatter gel from DIY stores.

Gonna try it out

they are a complete and utter menace to all the native wildlife smaller than them in this country. They are no innocents and they deserve what they get. If only it wasn't illegal to take a pop at them.

Sorry but i couldn't help but feel your being very naive. You make it out to be less than it is. you compared it to a ringtone and asked what he'd do if the ringtone annoyed people... he told you he'd put it on silent. Now what happens with the cat crap example?

What makes you think they want it in the flowers/soil? The cats might even pick up on the collection of crap there and trample on the flowers in future in order to go to releive themselves.

I'd assum he'd be letting her play on the lawn... which would have crap on it. Theres nothing wrong in wanting to be able to let your daughter go out and play on what should be a tidy lawn.

its much easier to supervise a child by making sure its just crawling round on the lawn than it is to make sure every inch of the lawn she's about to crawl on is clean.

You actually failed to give a reason, and the only one you seem to put across is ignorance.

A phone alert is a different thing though, while it might be annoying while its briefly on, it may be important. It might not be noticeable if on silent in a handbag/briefcase. It isn't something that has to be removed in order to rid it of its nuisance value. To make both examples similar its like you having to stop other peoples phones ringing, not them doing it themselves. Its not like the owners of the cat come and clean the crap up so the example is misguided. It doesn't make you feel sick to stop a phone ringing and there isn't a chance part of the phone will be stuck where you've moved it from or on the item you moved it with.

Feel free to describe how a sound is "physical". Can you pick it up? Weigh it? Is it warm?

Do you get annoyed by ring tones? Can a ring tone harm your health? Does the same ring tone come onto your property and crap all over your lawn 2x a day? Does a ring tone smell? Does it sit there and fester until you remove it?

But I do not want it in the soil of my plants or bushes thanks.

And it would be far more fun if I did not have to patrol for cat crap first.

A ring tone is far less of a problem than cat crap in my life :) I don't think a ring tone has EVER bothered me or left a nasty sticky stinky mess on my lawn. You know when you go to the cinema people are asked to turn their phones off out of consideration for others........ just as cat owners should make sure that their cats do not crap in other peoples gardens.....

The thing with ringtones is people like them and buy them but nobody seems to want to spend £1 on a warm cat crap. I wonder why?

They come in my garden and leave the little cat poops everywhere. When I bang on the window to shoo them off they just amble along like they own the place. By the time I have got the back door open and have got enough swing on the rock I plan to throw at them they are gone.

I have a similar problem, made worse by having a garden design based entirely on decorative aggregates around paving, so it's like a giant litter tray with one bit in the centre they don't use.

I've tried all sorts of fads to get rid of them, but none are successful enough to bother with...so a friend of mine, who is an electronics wizard, is going to help take it to the next level and wage war on the feline menace.

We're going to rig up a system that detects the beasts as they enter, tracks them, and then fires jets of water at them once they become stationary. :D

We're both very busy people, so it'll probably be a few months yet before we get around to it, but we're definitely doing it sometime before next summer to make the garden more pleasant for it. I'll report back with pictures when the project is underway.

A very good, and a harmless way of dealing with the problem, no harm comes to the cat, and they will learn not to stray into your garden because they know they will have a shower if they do.
 
Yeah cats crap :confused: Get over it!
We get a fair bit of cat crap in our garden and also some fox poop for good measure (This is a greater concern as I believe it can be more dangerous to children?!?!)
However before playing footy or cricket with my nephews I simply do a quick scan of the pitch (risk assessment :p ) and if I find any crap I just grab the shovel and ditch it into a little hole in the flower beds, simple, takes no more than a minute or two.
It's pathetic and really sad that some people would prefer to hurt or kill another animal rather than simply getting on with the obviously solution to a very basic problem! :mad:
IMHO we have absolutely no moral high ground to tell an animal where it can and can't go for a crap considering we have hunted hundreds of them into extinction and continue to pollute the air they breath with poisonous gas’s!
