I hate, loathe and despise them with every fibre of my being, and , to be honest, most of their owners who are simply so selfish they just don't care about the actions of their psychopathic pets.
This is seriously disturbing.
Is this kind of vitriol and bile considered acceptable on this forum?
I'd not consider a hatred of cats to be either vitriol or bile. Feel free to use the handy ignore button.

You're talking about animals that only know how to act on instinct. Any time a human feels true real hatred towards an animal its disturbing to me. You're also expressing that hatred about your neighbours.
For the record I don't own or even particularly like cats myself, but I am saddened to see this ugliness in other human beings who are otherwise decent people, many of them won't even hurt a slug or an ant!

so ignore me , it's easily done
Its really not, have you seen how often cats are mentioned on this forum? Even on threads that should be safe from the horribleness! And certain posters are never shy about launching into the hatred.
Maybe it should be an off limits topic to keep the atmosphere nicer.

This is sadly the attitude that's also taken by most cat owners. They'd rather ignore and silence the people who are experiencing the problems caused by their pets than take responsibility and stop the harm. As to being allowed on this forum; yes it is and in my opinion it is only by allowing people to show just how vehemently opposed they are to free roaming cats that cat owners will ever start to show the responsibility required in pet ownership and stop acting with such entitlement. This is exactly why it's so hard for people to just speak to their neighbours and sort the problem out like reasonable people.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

If people are opposed to free roaming cats then they need to be taking action to get the law changed. Writing to MPs, lobbying, campaigning, starting petitions, getting high profile support etc.
And there's nothing wrong with seeking advice for how to keep cats out of your garden, but all these threads where people talk about their genuine rage filled hatred for their neighbours (who are not doing anything illegal or against any official advice) and for animals that have no malicious intentions and are just behaving according to their nature, are so unnecessary and really let this otherwise lovely forum down.

simple answer , don't read them !!!
I suppose I'll have to try.
If you and the others could try and keep the rage to just the threads that are actually about cats that would make it easier.
There's a " cat only " thread. I'm not interested , so I don't read it, ditto the annual "strictly " thread holds no interest to me, so I don't read that either. It's not compulsory to read every thread. Be more selective if you're easily offended.

I am new here and didn’t know there were threads purely about cats.
The fact is dogs have to be on a leash and owners pick up their mess, (which is fine when they bother to) but cats are allowed to turn our beautiful gardens into a toilet 🤮 doesn’t seem fair to me that the only people with sweet smelling gardens are the cat owners!
