Do you consider foxes, badgers, deer, rabbits etc. to be vermin ?
In my road of 34 houses only 3 have cats, myself included, and one of those houses took it in as a stray.
There are so many ways to keep cats out of your garden these days, that an attitude like this is unnecessary.

An animal loving country eh.

P.S I find my garden has more fox poo than anything else.

Yes.....foxes are vermin....hence why we have hunts  :y

Generally though (foxes are something of an exception) the population of the rest of these animals is related to food availabilty (hence why foxes are an exception as they have adapted very well to city life and obtaining scraps from bins) and prey levels.

I love animals but, wont tolerate the excessive quantities of cat poo I get in the garden which my young children are exposed to. At least I keep the air rifle locked away.

Hence, simple measures which help keep them at bay, nothing to harm them more a case of make them think twice before squatting!

I can see we are not going to agree on this subject, so maybe we should say no more on it.
On a slightly different subject, I see you are in Nottingham. The last time I was near there was at a training centre in Widmerpool, do you no it by any chance ? it was owned by the AA but I am led to believe it is under different ownership now.

>Do you consider foxes, badgers, deer, rabbits etc. to be vermin ?

No,No, yes, yes based on damage to our garden.  I'd happily shoot anything that is being destructive.

and I love our cat, except when it poos in my tomatoes..

Sadly they are the modern day easy pet and hence now the scurge of the suburbs.

Its funny because I can remember as a child that only one or two people in the street had cats, now its every other.

I offer a free washing service for the cats in my area thanks to a super soaker (just aim at the fence directly behind them, they always run through the stream) and if they are stupid enough to come near me I find that 5 seconds in the water butt keeps them away for a few months  :y
