Get lost yerself, i'm near certain this thread was never meant to be serious in the first place, though if thats wrong i'm sure Kes will shoot me down fer saying so.

ketrelx, my apologies sir, on behalf of me and my "new friends", for rolling around the floor of your thread

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Aren't we allowed more than one, Dave??

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Exactly.

Cats, should they as a species be made illegal?

Purr-lease!

Whoosh.

Right over some humourless folks' heads.

Though as the forum archivist, I do think it better, if this thread was stored in Anything Goes.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

'S ok.

It's still relatively fresh kitty litter.

Despite the crap from some old sour puss.

;)

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

That nest box was used successfully for 2 years, before this cat found out about it, and then climbed up and scared away the adults for 2 years, causing starvation of the chicks. So the box was used first and worked.

Yep it's a cruel world?? So does that mean I can be cruel to a cat? if it's a cruel world then surely that's OK?

I might re do this and call it "Cruel to cats!"

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Well a female I went out with, had 2 cats and one stray tom cat used to come in to her flat over the balcony and she was always finding dead or half alive birds/pigeons in her flat. Cat hairs was the cause of the end of our relationship.:eek:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Since the owner of Accy Web started this forum, in order to stay in touch with Less, and various other village idiots in this part of Lancashire, to help prevent himself from pining away in that Russian prison camp, there for his crimes against fashion, I rather think some people really don't get this forum.

The very reason this forum exists is because some people missed the warmth, richness, self-depreciating, and sometimes scathingly sarcastic humour, that this area does so well.

It used to be such fun here until relatively recently.

Well, until the chuckle and grammar police tried stamping their little puss-in-boots all over it.

Happily the humour will still be here, in the area, and on this forum, when they've long gone.

Nine out of ten local nut house residents, who weren't dribbling, and expressed a preference, agree with this.

;)

What you think of me, I think the same back at ya! You aren't Mr Perfect/Right all the time!:rolleyes:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Good question Sue ;)- I didn't keep them long enough. Had some in 70's and she had kittens and gave them away and can't remember what happened to the adult? Then one I had in the early 80's did catch a few mice and birds then I gave it away to a nice woman. Concerning soft furnishings in the 70's my mother was in charge in the 80's, I wasn't bothered; carpets and sofa's were scratched to bits.:D

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Be careful what yeh say, Cats have a habit of scratching yer eyes out.:eek::D

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Now, now, we'll have no blatant felineism here:rolleyes:

And remember, cats were once worshipped as gods; cats have never forgotten this.:cool:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

One of the neighbourhood cats keeps sitting on my car bonnet! I daren't chase it off in case it panics and scratches the paintwork, so I walk up all casual-like and gently lift it off...resisting the temptation to drop kick it into next door's garden!

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

My cat has 2 Bells on her collar (cos she's th'pecial)...but she still brought a live bird in the other week, so thats that theory down the drain

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

That's a good point actually why is it cats are put out at night, yet dogs are kept in? An old bloke near me walks his black cat round the block every day when he's able to!

I think perhaps it's cultural habit to put cats out at night to stop them ripping up the furnishings, were as most dogs will just sleep all night. Surely cats could be kept in caged areas in gardens rather than letting them go walkabout when the sun goes down. Just a thought!:cool:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Are they worn down? Or there are a type of bell that don't make a proper ringing sound but very muffled - sure they arn't the ones you have on your cat? :rolleyes:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Kestrelx would you like me to put a piggin doorbell on her? Or maybe a bike bell? Or maybe even a horn?????
Of course they are proper bells you plank

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Don't get personal. I have seen these bells that are on some cat collars that do not ring they look like bells but are very muffled. The ones to scare birds are very loud - tinkling ones...:rolleyes: The guy on Springwatch mentioned them!!! Who loves birds over cats!

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Our cat is in at night sleeps on the rad in kitchen, poos only in next doors garden so happy days.( We dont like them)

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Yeah, our cat usually dosses down at night, too. She tends to go out for a spot of bird homicide in the morning.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Seriously it happened, the cat did it of it's own volition. Mine used to eat grass (not the stuff you smoke) the stuff in fields and lawns, so perhaps it just got confused and thought the mushrooms were grass. It came to no harm...

...somebodies just whacked my Karma for not liking cats - or something????:confused:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Not me, even though your comments are idiotic -prefer to keep them for green karma -much more deserved.:rolleyes:

Cats eat grass to clean their digestive systems ... gets rid of worms and all manner of evils. they are stuck with their owners though unless they are very independent...;)

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Theres some sad gets about, Wacked yer karma, I think its a shame they don't do the awards any more Kes, i would give yeh one fer this thread.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

See? So much better, when you show your sense of humour.

Sadly no more awards on here, for memorable threads, but have some karma, for making me laugh.

Cheers.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Bird lovers, if bell's are no longer working, try securely fastening a miniature scarecrow astride the cat, as if riding your feline.

Most birds will be take notice, and lives will be saved.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Right can we please get back on thread i have just deleted 71 posts in this thread

Ya mean a whacky thread cashy:D

Is that also known as Van Dykery too Rindi:D:rolleyes:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Are we back on thread yet?

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Thanks for the chuckle this morning! :D Karma given for cheering me up!

I dont like cats at all, I have a water pistle by the front and back door in case any come into the garden for a poo, water scares em more than anything else as they dont like it. Some round my end have even learnt to poo in next garden and not mine! :)

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

The question I have is do people let cats out on their own but not dogs purely out of social ettiquette? Also because both species behave differently; the cat generally hides or sits out of the way of traffic and potential human threats, were as the dog stays in the street and is more likely to get hit by a car or run away form the owners property and not come back?:confused::rolleyes:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Would you Adam and Eve it - I got goood Karma from Garinda, Cashman and Wynonie - you made my day!:thankya:

P.S. Adam and Eve it is Cockney Rhyming Slang for "believe it!"

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

As for the cat n dog thing, it's the norm, and people don't like to think different, I don't think cats are much better than dogs with traffic,

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Yeh and cats don't tend to run down the middle of the road? They usually find a nice quiet spot to sit out of harms way, though you do get the occasional ones walking round in the street approaching strangers. Cats can also quietly walk from garden to garden, were as a dog wouldn't do that and if it did it would be much more noisey and troublesome. :cool:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

but what about cats wanton destruction, of poor innocent bedding plants?

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Well yeh that's right not to mention wild birds and animals! Which is why I wonder if they really need to be allowed to roam free?

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

this is a question to cat owners, if a neighbour knocked on your door, and demand money for your cats vandalism of his flower beds, would you pay up?

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

No! Unless there was proof?

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Using a water pistol is a good idea for cats - certainly cool them down! :D

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

and is that responsible?, or maybe you shpuld keep your cat in if your not willing to pay up

and what sort of proof, catching the cat out of hits head on catnip, ripping up the daisies on cctv?

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

I know it's the wrong section, but as I'm giving it away here seems as good a place as any.

Black cat suit, free to a good home.

One owner.

Similar look to mohair.

Inbox me for further details.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Try bleach.

:rolleyes:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Rat poison in a bowl of cat food usually does the trick.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Same as Kes, I would pay but only if it could be proved it was my cat. As for letting them out, cats are loners and like to go out on their own and check their territories whereas dogs like to be taken out for walks.

We once had two goats and used to take them for walks in the woods behind where we lived. We only used to put a lead on one and the other would follow as they are herd animals. Actually a lead wasn't really necessary as they would both follow me who they saw as herd leader.

So each animal has different behaviour patterns and you can't judge them all the same way.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

I have caught next door's cat out of its head on my catnip which my cat won't touch!

Would have to be photographic proof, like I photo dog poo when I see it being deposited, or obviously if we we were known to have the only cat in the area I would feel responsible.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

couldnt resist, but this ties in with the "should drugs be legalised" thread

soft drugs like catnip, only lead to higher class drugs, like mushrooms, just ask kes's cat,:D:D:D:D

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

How do you stop wild birds and wild animals from roaming free:confused:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

I mean do cats need to be allowed to roam free? :rolleyes:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

The cat that had the mushrooms, used to come on walks with me it also used to paw my face very gently, no claws were used - it was very gentle - I wonder if the mushrooms had anything to do with making it paw my face as if it was trying to talk to me! :confused: :D

Nice to hear about your goats - I saw a bloke walking a pole cat in the park recently.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Our neighbour's lad used to take his ferret out for a walk in the old cemetery behind the house here.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Tempting :D

I do put washing up liquid in the water so then when I get the cat and it try's to clean it off later by licking itself it then gets a gobfull of soap!

Ha I love getting em! ;)

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

How would you stop them:confused:, mind you having said that there's a bloke who lives with his mother near me and he has a cat, he takes it for a walk on a lead, I kid you not, it looks hilariously funny believe me:D

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?

You have to water the bleach down a bit.

Not wanting to be cruel, aim for it's li'l pink winky ass.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

It was a very friendly cat, used to like sleeping with me and close to my face - I was worried it might accidently smother me while i was asleep - so I gave it to this girl I knew! :D

Well Jaysay has now bumped up my green Karma - well done old son! :):D:D:D

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

in the hope ir would smother her no doubt lol
like your style, assasin ninja cat, good plan:D

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

I've not read the whole thread, because I don't have a spare three weeks.

I don't think it should be illegal to own a cat.
I DO however wish there was a licensing structure in place.
I wish it was illegal to breed cats without a separate license.
I just advocate responsible pet ownership. There ARE too many cats, they are affecting the songbird population and are interfering with wildlife-but also , for the welfare of them.
It's difficult to form statistics for feral animals, and animals kept as pets, but it's not difficult to tell that there are far too many unwanted animals, the RSPCA has reported many more 'strays' that they find or have handed in-and these are just the ones that they are aware of. I hate irresponsible breeding.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Cats reduce the population of mice and rats, who spread diseases which are more lethal.

Bubonic plague anyone ? :D

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Not sure the cats would be able to fill the form in. They'd be too busy having it away in other people's gardens. ;):eek:

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Does anybody remember "the cat man" ? that is what my mother used to call him. He used to live on Portland Street. He must have had 30 cats.(possible exaggeration) Accy's version of the cat woman from The Simpsons?

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

I haven't read all this thread so apologies if I'm repeating someone else's comment. I really like cats and all my life have always had at least one until a few years ago - my work hours don't allow it at the moment - but aren't they classed as vermin? That's what my mum always said, but she did tend to make things up to suit herself!

There was an old lady on my grandmother's street ( Richmond Hill Street) when we were kids that lived on her own with uneutered cats in each room .When she died the house had to be fumigated.

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

I've seen intelligence in cats (like the above pic) which in my opinion excludes them from being classed as vermin. Domestic cats at least. When I was growing up we had a cat and she used to sneak in and hide in my bedroom. I would often find her under the covers with head popping out near the pillows. Seems that spending a lot of time with them. Alone. They pick up on things that get your attention. Like LadyM. She would stand on my alarm clock knowing it meant I would get up and feed her. She would sit on my laptop when I was out of the. room. But now she is with my parents she. wont have anything to do with me. Perhaps she feels betrayed

Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
 

Ah I am sure we could find them a feline friendly means of consenting :p

Don't mind if I do .... a double, straight up, please, with a little water on the side, and a Sleeman's ale to chase it down with.:alright:
