I don't mind the moggies that much, but they always seem to make a beeline for me to sit on my lap or rub themselves on my legs, knowing full well that I am allergic to the enzyme they deposit on their coats, which then brings me out with flu-like symptoms for a few days.

It's the whole animal/human dependency thing that I'm not keen on, but that's a long story.

she never had a proper mum.
Anyways, last week, we found tufts of white fur all over the garden and then the missus heard a terrible catawauling. A big black cat had the little one pinned down and was ripping lumps out of it.
On sunday the missus found the big black mog in the kitchen stealing their cat food, but she wouldnt let me chuck it out.
Well last night, she was out at work, I espied the b@stard in the garden, and was tempted to leave the door open to entice it in.
I was thinking 'dont mess with the monkeys moggie, we are natural born killers'

So what should I do ? visit it with monkey retribution, or leave the natural world to look after itself ?



We have a cat flap that can either be open both ways, in only, out only or totally closed. We also have a cat that occasionally comes in so sometimes I set the cat flap to be in only for a bit of a laugh.......

Some mates of mine had the same problem - the local moggies were sneaking in and taking the pets' food.

They installed a special catflap that only works when their cats use it, by way of some magnetic-collar-trickery.

Probably less hassle than building yourself a cat catapult.

Getting them to sit still on the cat catapult while you launch them may be a challenge, but what about a Tibbles Trebuchet? You only need to hook onto the cat's collar to fling the furry fekker.
