. . . The owner never had a tabby . . . But his great great grandfather was a cat.

The image gave me a chuckle though. Just make sure it doesn't damage you. On a more serious note have you tried a hose with a bit of a jet. Keeps our neighbours psycho cat out of the garden a treat. Going to train my cats to use it.

Seems a bit pointless, if my cats what something in the night they sit on my wife's shoulder and meow at her (I have trained them not to bother doing it to me). 🤣

Yes, you come across as incredibly tolerant 🤣 I apologise though, it was meant as a little bit of light hearted piss taking of a post I thought amusing. Forgot where I was, I will keep it to myself next time.

Very true, I think you knew what I meant you old tinker. 🤣.

I feel the same about the rats, birds, possums and other animals that shit in my garden. And the magpies that drop stuff on my lawn, other people's rubbish that get stuck under my hedge. Dog shit out the front of my gate. It is a dreadful thing sharing the world with others isn't it?🤬🤬🤬

To be fair, I think he has mentioned that he has indigenous ancestors so not sure where he stands on that. It's another logic gap in the fallacy though. We hate all introduced species apart from ourselves (see also, immigrants). Still progression around these issues is happening, a little too...

The attitude he expressed earlier blaming the 'europeans' for all the ills and introductions of Australia is a really interesting one. Not sure if the Americans so this still. Loads of people over here don't see any link between the negative things that have happened and themselves. They pick...

The irony of the Australia based anger is that the hedgerow idea wasn't really embraced over here. Much of the clearing was total and extreme. When I was farming we started to surround our paddocks with native trees and allow native plants to grow. This was backed by government subsidies etc...

Just did a quick Google, cant see it over here but will have another look for something similar later.

Angry about cats on other people's benches and advice about someone else's garden. Very odd, but each to their own I suppose.

That looks good, I have sent the video to my daughter she will love doing that with her cat.

I think you are letting your dislike of cats get the better of you here. There is really no need to get so pissy over a simple suggestion in response to a question asked. I am not saying he 'should' do anything. Just a suggestion that if the cats are shitting on his lawn and that he can't deter...

Yeah agree about the out at night thing. Love the bell ring for a treat. Does that get annoying? I feel like one of mine would be ringing it all the time 🤣 I will look into the clicker training thing, sounds interesting.

Cut up oranges around the boundary can work. Many cats hate them and won't go near them. Just keep trying stuff until you find what they don't like. Once you stop them they will find somewhere else to go. Are they burying it or just shitting on the lawn? If they are not burying it leaving a...

I disagree with the idea that they will do what they want and go where they want. They can be trained it just takes a bit of effort. I have three and none of them go up on the bench or table, they were trained as kitten with the use of water spray. They learned pretty quick. Once in a while...

The benefits of my cats to my highly anxious kids cannot be understated. Lowering stress, teaching responsibility and learning social skills being being the top three. I follow the rules and consider myself a responsible owner. I am currently looking into setting up a run in my garden for them...

My cats come in before sunset. Go out the door, give them a call sometimes shake a bag of treats and in they come. They are trained pretty well. Currently they are sitting at the door waiting to go out but can't as it is still dark. I would post a picture but I live quite close to Tyrone...

Didn't we do all this earlier on this thread? TB pretends not to understand the difference between pet and feral cats so he can conflate the two and talk about shooting 'them' in an attempt to wind everyone up and (in his mind) appear tough. As you point out it shows a lack of understanding...

Yeah there are laws but the vast majority of the problems are caused by feral cats rather than pet ones. We have a cat curfew between sunset and sunrise here in Geelong.
