Grrr cats

[poweredbypies]

if dogs ran free and could jump gardens theyd sh1t everywhere too.

Word.

Exactly my point we have to control our dogs so why should cats be any different.

dogs must look to their owners and grin as they watch their owners curl their fingers through their steaming sloppy noxious pile as revenge for feeding the dog cheap food.

Dogs are opportunist scavengers and their digestive systems cannot tell the difference in price of whatever they eat.
Food in = poop out and the more the dog is exercised the sloppier the poop becomes.

Fundamentally though, why would anyone choose an animal that you have to walk behind scooping up it's doggy-doos every time you go for a walk?

The rewards obviously outweigh the cost.

Decent people who choose to keep dogs accept their responsibility, their care of that animal and of its place in society.

Whereas the majority of cat owners are happy to let their supposed beloved pets wander the country, day and night, with no concern for their safety or the damage they are doing to other peoples property.
And muck out their litter trays.. the only part of cat crap that isn't significantly worse than a dogs crap is its size.

Cats are considered differently, though - even in law - people don't generally walk cats on leads, and generally let them out. Cats are very mobile and can climb out of gardens even with pretty high walls.

Best thing you can do is to take measures to discourage cats. I get your point about why should you have to - but all the same, realistically, you do.

I don't have a cat - I'm not replying as somebody who's defending them or their owners, per se (although I have owned cats in the past). Whether you should have to, or not, cats don't respect or respond to the boundaries that humans do. And as others have said - were dogs so mobile and left to roam, they'd crap everywhere too.

So why do some dog owners go to the trouble and often the embarrassment of scooping up their animal's excrement, putting it into what I assume are purpose made bags, tying a knot in it and slinging it into nature where it may adorn fences, tree branches, bushes and any other part of nature that they obviously consider is a disposal point ?

Where may I add it obviously festers and changes in the closed environment that a bag with air in it is to become whatever possibly hazardous substance the poor sucker who has been charged with cleaning up the countryside has to deal with, never mind those others non dog owners and genuine responsible dog owners who have to view the situation and there think what they may about those that put the offence where it is.

How many responsible dog owners do we think has done the quick look around to see if anyone is watching and then tried to walk off without scooping the poop ? Has anyone seen a dog owner do the look around, ask yourself why they may be doing that. Finally how many responsible dog owners claim to have not noticed their animal take a dump, but if they had, they would have scooped the poop , and how many have got away with it ?

But to help all the canine lovers to show I am ever helpful regarding your problem ;

Now, all you have to do is resist the temptation to chuck it where you hope others won't see it, because it is not a dog problem, it is a human problem, the dog is blameless.

Also, dogs can't adjust rebound damping.

I think all of the above spiel has been covered, at length, on here (perhaps in a different thread which, iirc, you were a part of too).

The points you make are old and tired and I feel, at this point, that you are just prattling on for the sake of it.

Dogs are opportunist scavengers and their digestive systems cannot tell the difference in price of whatever they eat.
Food in = poop out and the more the dog is exercised the sloppier the poop becomes.

Cats on the other hand - from personal experience - are notoriously picky! Although if the owner doesn't come up with the goods they will improvise and go for birds in the garden, fish from the local canal, etc.

And yet their solid waste is still minging...
