Do you make a career out of wrong assumptions? They're locked in small cages when she's at work, then let out into a fenced off area of the garden when she's at home. They should be muzzled when out the cages, & in fact they shouldn't be in the cages in the first place - *that's* cruel. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
Here's an idea that only an irresponsible cat (or dog for that matter) owner wouldn't willingly take up. Part of the ownership registration involves taking a DNA sample from the 'pet'. Any crap found where is shouldn't be (private back garden, pavement, park etc) can be tested (small fee to suitable agency or home kit whatever), traced to the owner and the owner requested to either: Do the cleanup within a reasonable timescale. or Pay to have it cleaned up. I reckon any owner of any persistently fouling animal will get rid of their 'pet' on their own! ;-) All the best .. T i m p.s. Can't see the above idea actually catching on (for all sorts of reasons) but *I* think it's a good idea!
My mistake. Over educated, but a bit thick. Hint: I haven't called anyone uneducated. Exceptions used to prove the rule. There are quite a few Latin words in common english usage. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think 'Errare humanum est' were three of them. Yes. Another profession, prone to obfuscation. I was going to include them in my earlier post but felt you'd be above digression. No, but English would have been nice. You still seem to be under the mistaken impression that I did not understand your 'To err is human' post. I did understand it, I just think you were a **** for saying it and saying it in Latin. A very Blairesque response IMO. Someone else who doesn't understand the meaning of, or feel the need for, a straight forward apology.
Commiserations. I can't help thinking that a few holes cut in the bottom of the fence could have given him an escape route, but then hindsight tends to have 20:20 vision. As others have said, adopting another can help ease things. Go have a mooch round the local rescue shelter, maybe?

They're not pets to her, they're a lifestyle accessory. And there are plenty of places that'll take lurchers & find them new homes. My parents' lurcher came from a rescue centre & had a reputation for biting kids, ffs. Where the **** have I said anything about wanting the dogs to suffer? Try reading what's written rather than making assumptions. Or better still, just shut the **** up. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
Out in the sticks would be best, near fields where they can do what they were bred for - chasing down rabbits.
I've only been back here for 5 mins, and it even appears to me that the answer appears to be "yes". To cheer yourself up, why not use this: http://preview.tinyurl.com/5pszec to shout random things up a mountain in Norway?
It's not hindsight though - that's what I said to her when she first put the fence up. Having seen it all unfold, he'd still be alive if she'd done that. I've got two more cats, so if the dogs are still there come Sunday & she hasn't modified the fence, I'll know exactly the sort of person she is. I'll then play my trump card, which will leave her son & his girlfriend homeless & cost her thousands. -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
It's not being made any easier for you is it? Think how I feel at the moment, I'm trying to sort out our winter holiday (1) rather than just blowing all my cash on an MV and I'm being distracted by Phil struggling with his anger management... (1) Bermuda looks good at the moment but things could change within hours.
At least they're being left with a fighting chance, my uncle flushed my cousins mice down the toilet when he decided they were breeding too often.
Heh - it gets worse - he's a born again. A couple of times he's had a mate round & they've sat in their garden playing guitar & singing god-bothering songs. I thanked the lord too - for the fast idle knob on the MV... -- Krusty www.MuddyStuff.co.uk Off-Road Classifieds '02 MV Senna '03 Tiger 955i '96 Tiger '79 Fantic Hiro 250
