Cats v Dogs

[Tigersman]

I am a dog person. When I was 15 or 16 my dad took me to a neighbors house to let me see an Austin Healey 3000. He was going to buy me this car if I liked it. I loved the car but before my dad could purchase it the owner had to take his wife who had cancer out of town for treatment. The owner put the car in the garage but did not roll the windows up. The owner owned a cat who did its job inside the car. Back then their was no way to get rid of the smell. The car was sold as scrap. Latter in life I was working on a car radio with the radio on. It was the old tube try radio. A cat climbed into my car, brushed up against me scaring me causing me to flinch that ended up getting me shocked. I got the cat out of my car only to get shocked again because the cat got back into the car. For these reasons but not solely I dislike cats.
I do not want to have to clean my kitchen counter before I start to prepare food for eating because a cat has jumped upon the counter. I do not want to worry about items being broken because a cat has knocked them off of shelves. I do not want to have to worry about cats getting inside my vehicle if I left the windows down or under the hood of the vehicle which could cause serious damage. If cat people let their cat outdoors the cat will not stay in its yard but wander all over. Each community has lease laws but cat owners think the laws are for dog owners only. Cats will kill the birds you purchased the bird bath for.

I have a property in remote western Queensland (Australia). We just run a very few cattle on what is an absurdly large acreage of semi-desert. It's really more of a sanctuary for native wildlife. We have feral cats, heaps of them, and I pay the aboriginal kids a bounty for each one they bring me.

Originally the kids would just bring me the tail which they had chopped off before releasing the buggers to breed again (the cats not the kids). I wised up to what the kids were up to and now pay five times as much for a dead female as a male. This has affected their breeding and improved the volume of wildlife, especially small birds to a huge degree. There are about 20 skins on the barbed wire fence next to the gate right now which amounts to about average for a year.

No I don't like cats much, but the people who let 'em run loose are even worse.

That needs to happen around here. My house is next to a large woodland and peoples cats, I think are awful for destroying ecological diversity. It must be much worse in Oz, with them being a introduced species.

Agree totally, My girlfriend has one, it stands in the litter tray and then jumps on the kitchen counter, Foul.

That's fucking horrific.

Pussy!

That's fucking horrific.

You are right , what cold diesel said is awful but what do you do when there are literally millions of feral cats.

it is horrific that we have to kill feral cats. But the wildlife here evolved without this predator and a single cat will kill hundreds of small birds, mammals and lizards every year. Feral cats vary from the moggies which are just neglected by their owners to cats which have been feral for generations. The latter tend to be two or three times the size of a domestic cat.

The current rate of extinction of small native animals is greater in Australia than any other country in the world. Cats are the number one killers.

And I have never met any cat with enough sense to kill a spider!

We also have a lot of wild dogs but they tend to do less well in dry country.

I love dogs. I want a dog more than anything but my work schedule would make it nearly impossible.

If I was home more, I'd get a French Bulldog. I think that is just about the cutest dog in the world. And for those of you who like to bully the small dogs.. F.U.
