'Play with your pussy', orders government.

And what about Xog's Slug Collection ? ...

But Xog dries them out and wears them as false moustaches

Why stop at just cats and dogs ?

I mean,, goldfish are valid pets too aren't they ?

And snakes, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc.

And what about Xog's Slug Collection ? Ok, so they may be on the move, as they have been for the last 4 years, on their way to 10 Downing Street, but even so, they have rights too.

The document seems too narrow in scope and is very doggist and cattist.

Cat and dog owners are to be told to provide "entertainment" and "mental stimulation" for their pets under new government advice.

The code of practice also includes advice on diet and providing "somewhere suitable to go to the toilet".

Maybe they should give the same advice to parents

Owners will not be fined for breaking the rules but failure to comply may be used in animal cruelty prosecutions.

With the same level of threat

Oh for God's sake!

Is there any aspect of our lives this horrid, nannyish government won't intrude upon?

My cat is already employed as a PHP coder and he leads a happy and fulfilled life - what more do they want?

[BrilloPad]

My cats need a code of practice for how they treat me. lazy little f***ers.....
