The original comment was a NSC comment and i took it as it was and is,however taken to it's logical conclusion,mankind will wipe it's self from the face of the earth with that attitude to nature..the planet will,in time survive,recover and prosper,along with most of the animals...
I lived on a 3rd floor flat with stairs,cat came and went,we had the windows on child locks,the cats head could not squeeze through,job done..
As for birds,well...all i can say is by tomorrow evening more cars will have killed more birds and other animals than all the cats could......
The fact is - and as an animal lover and especially of the cat,i can appreciate that what is good in Euroupe or even in England may not be the same elsewhere..
Most cats do not leave their poop on the surface,they tend to bury it,for they wish not to give away their position to others or predators,further,they dislike the smell.....when was the last time you saw a dog take a dump and try to bury it?
The main reason a dog owner clears up more is...
Cats choose owners,my latest,a white cat (1 year old & just being let out now,but not at nights & free to roam)and my proud 1st of this colour could quite easily,decide fanny down the road and her garden,coupled with the food she offers is far more appealing,and ditch me in an instant....nope...
You don't need to do anything,but could evolve and see the beauty in it all,i personally prefer cats,but have a great affection to dogs,and call me mad,but i talk dog too..i actually talk to animals..well lets call it communicate at a basic life level.
That happened to one of my cats at my old house,the neighbour a DOG lover,squirted him,fair enough.................one problem,he was on the communal walk way where the rubbish goes,so a sort on no mans land really.....
Pathetic i thought,a grown man squirting a cat with a water pistol,they did...
