Don't mess with your average cat.

Cats are pure evil. That's why I like them. Though I wouldn't own one.

If you're going to take pot-shots at them, bear in mind that they're classified under law as wild animals, not vermin. Wild animals harming/maiming/killing/torturing other animals is not illegal. Humans harming/maiming/killing/torturing animals is quite harshly dealt with.

Until someone comes up with a domestic animal, classified under law as a wild animal, that eats cats (or the law changes) - you're stuck.

I find a super-soaker, and mowing orange peel into the lawn quite effective against keeping cats away.

Can't stand them. Horrible creatures.

Much prefer my Burmese python. Least it only kills the wildlife if I let it!

The answer's simple. Get yourself a cat.

Make it a horrible cat-killing serial killer cat which only eats other cats so I don't have to feed it and always craps in MR PIKEY SCUM'S garden I would go along with that idea.

They say dog is a man’s best friend and I can prove it.

I locked my dog in the boot of the car for two hours and when I let him out he licked my face and wagged his tail. When I did the same thing to my wife, she went crazy and tried to bite me.

You're probably better off avoiding eating top predators, they accumulate all sorts of nasty things in their flesh, or so I heard or have just made up.

[RichardCranium]

No, they don't. They're nasty and gamey and tough.

My dear fellow, I disagree entirely, it's all in the marinating like any game bird and beast. If you follow these simple techniques, you will discover such wondrous flavours and textures not found in a commercially farmed chicken.

I'll lose my Super Tramp title at this rate.

PS Don't buy cheap 'meat' curries from all-night curry shops in Westbourne Grove.

Always buy your cat comestibles from a reputable Chinese take-away.

Our cat just has a litter tray with a door.

Just seen this, oddly. Some more useful replies for you possibly:

I used to think that cats did nice little sanitised poos, like owl pellets or something. I also used to think that I had the most revolting and rancid bum in the animal kingdom.

Then I met Mrs EO and her cats. I was forced to concede defeat after waging a ten year rear-guard action. Despite being fuelled by ten pints a night, various kebabs, curries and tins of beans, I was eventually forced to surrender by Brewster, and her weapons of mass destruction.

[DimPrawn]

The answer's simple. Get yourself a cat. I've got two and I've not found a 'cat egg' in the garden for many years.

Don't take this advice.

I've got a cat () and it tulips 2 foot from the front door and back doors, tulips on the decking, tulips on the front gravel drive, front lawn and back lawn.
