Solomon1 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I would be interested to know IF it is LEGAL to shoot the cat on OUR own Property or trap it ? since it is being such a pest no it is not legal car get a water pistol and shoot water at it next time...works a treat! also...get one of those glass-eyed black cat statues from the garden shop...great deterrants too
RobbyBrown Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 This has been mentioned before, but its usefull if you have a little boy in your family aged about 9yrs old. I mentioned arming a boy with a water gun, and giving him a sweet for every cat soaked, and this works a treat. However, When attending Sheff Utds match at Wembley we bought a fog horn and our 9yr old nephew loves blowing the fog horn when he sees a cat. He gets 2 sweets if the cat falls into the garden pond
Vrsaljko Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I would be interested to know IF it is LEGAL to shoot the cat on OUR own Property You absolute idiot, of course it's not legal. Maybe you can trap the cat then relocate it several miles away. Would you like it if someone bundled you into a van and let you out in Derby?

Vrsaljko Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Who cares you absolute toytown keyboard idiot. Yeah, I forgot nobody cares about living creatures. Silly me.
AJ sheffield Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Yeah, I forgot nobody cares about living creatures. Silly me. I prefer to care more about people than cats.
prettydaisy Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Have you tried using any deterrants to discourage the cat such as planting certain plants that repel then, sprays etc? We have built a cat proof fence around our garden on the top of our fence by attaching netting to posts which stops cats getting in. I'm sure this must be a very aggravating situation for you and I can understand that you are concerned about your own animals and wild birds but the cat is acting on its instincts as an animal and surely you can't really think it is acceptable or legal to shoot it can you? RobbyBrown, it is always nice to hear about young children being taught kindness and respect for other living creatures...
Squiggs Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I prefer to care more about people than cats. The rather weak argument usually trotted out by people without the capacity to care for both people AND animals. Since when did simply caring for animals imply a disregard for the homosapien species, and why do you feel the opposite has to apply to you?
