Come on i love plants hate cats love dogs dont mind a fox and deer can be a problem but hay we all need to live together and do the best as we can thats the fun of gardening.
ooh i think we could all do with a nice cup of tea and a sit down!
seriously tho, it is horrible when you go outside and garden, and a human being or an animal upsets you.
my neighbours 2 dogs hardly ever get walked, and when they do go out into the garden they go mad and bark (don't blame them) but it means me and my dog go in. My dog starts barking, I look at her, and she knows! time to go inside. I tell her only common dogs bark for no reason!! (she looks at me like im mad for spoiling the fun) and we go inside and have a cup of tea.
Ive had so much upset with them next door that now I just don't want to have anything to do with them. that includes being in the garden at the same time.
Mind you my husband is not pleased this morning as he saw a cat (not one of ours who use their litter trays) dumping copiously in the trench he just dug for the water pipes.
Even cat owners can be annoyed at cats sometimes especially when Bluebell one of my feral cats sinks her teeth into my hand
ouch , hope your hand ok lou... I use to have a cat that use to stand in a litter tray and poop outside it ,she was feral didn't know it at the time got her as a kitten found out later when the person whom I got her from said I found the kittens at the bottom of the garden , mind you she live to a grand age of 15 years, wouldn't of been without her we called her willow, but my dad called her winky it stuck ...ah well gonna pay a few of them bills that will be fun have a nice day
I don't like other people's cats doing their business in my garden, as you'll see from my posts on other similar threads - however, cats don't know any better.
Properly brought up human beings should know better than to go around deliberately upsetting people

Where's the 'Ignore' button? I don't have much need for it here but there are some other sites I go to where it could be very usefu.
Back to the topic in hand - there was an article on the news this morning about a couple of streets somewhere in the Midlands where over 40 cats have been poisoned over quite a short period of time. There is no way that such actions are justified but I can understand how some people may be driven to act in such a way. Our front lawn is no more than about 15 x 20 feet but I've come across multiple 'cat calling cards' on numerous occasions when trying to mow it. I know I feel less than friendly towards them when that happens.
Have just caught up with this and have noticed that Charlie November must be pretty trigger happy, because I've read numerous posts from him on other animal pest subjects and his first reaction is always to shoot them! I think his army days have not been good for himI Will now apply the ignore button!

Is that the same god that flooded the earth killing all but two of every species? ;3
