Leash law applys to Cats to

[fly2cast]

I guess I have a hard time understanding the hate some people have for animals that come into their yard. We have neighbors that let their cats out. If they are in our yard our kids love them. Plus they sit on the rocks on the edge of our property looking for mice, and catch quite a few. I have no problem with that. When neighbors dogs get away and come into our yard we'll play with them and wait for the owner. No big deal. I suppose the dogs and cats will drop a load now and then. I don't get too stressed out about it. They are peoples pets and yeah in an ideal world, peoples pets would never come into your yard but it happens. I would rather be a good neighbor than fight with one.

You know its pretty easy to throw stones when your on the other side of the fence. Untill you have it happen to you and it your children playing in the sandbox you will never know. This whole thing took close to a month before it was shot. And things never changed. Yes it is easier to get along then to fight. But enough is enough. When the problem doesnt go away you cure it. Plan and simple.

Cat piss also stinks like none other. It's especially bad on South facing objects. Whence I was a kid, we lived on a relatively rough part of town in a day and age when fixing cats was not common place and the idea of animal control picking up a cat was laughable. For a brief period of time, my dad took it upon himself to deal with the problem himself with the help of a .22 from his bathroom window snipers loft. Because I am a cat liker, I still have mixed feelings about the whole situation. But, generally can't blame him one bit.

So is cat pop in the sandbox worse then kid pee in the pool? Or do you just shoot them too? Why do I have the feeling your grip on realty isn't very tight....oh that's right because every fucking sandbox that is outside in history has been a cat toilet and its been that way since we got the idea of dragging the beach home with us! Two main things I remember of playing in sandboxs as a kid was that sand sucks in your teeth and if you find lumps in the sand through it out into the yard. I take it you keep your kids in a bubble when you leave this oasis of safety and cleanliness that apparently is your yard. So do you shoot all the birds that shit in the grass as well? I'm not fan of cats but your clearly a little off in the head and way overreacting to a insanely common event!

As the OP is about cats I will use cats in my response, but my response applies to dogs, pigs, horses, etc. etc. etc. It all comes down to courtesy and respect. It is incumbent upon the cat owner to keep their cat within the confines of their property. Plain and Simple. I find it very distasteful that folks oftentimes forget that little fact. I take responsibility for my animals and do everything I can to keep them ON my property and I expect others to do the same. I give the cat owner three chances to keep their cats ON their property and OFF mine. The first contact is face to face where I courteously explain that I would really like them to keep their cat on their property and give them reasons why in the interest of good relations. The second contact, should I find the animal on my property again, is usually by phone and the exchange is usually less than cordial as I've already had to deal with this issue once before and laws, responsibilities, rights, and actions are put forth for continued occurrences. The third time is fully confrontational where I explain my rights as a landowner and lay out the consequences for continuing to ignore the issue. After that, I feel I've done my due diligence and it is NOT me that is being disrespectful and out of line. IMO, everybody has the right to HAVE or NOT TO HAVE a cat and the reasons for either choice are irrelevant. However, choosing to have a cat doesn't negate the right of others who choose NOT to have a cat and those who choose NOT to have a cat on their property don't need to explain themselves to cat owners. As a cat owner, be courteous and respectful of your neighbors who choose NOT to have cats by keeping your cats where they belong. If you are unable or unwilling to do so, I fail to see how those who don't want your cat around can be at fault when events occur. Again, this is my attitude towards any animal, not just cats.

Because, don't make your problem my problem. My neighbors are complete assholes. They put scraps in the yard drawing in all the feral cats and neighborhood dogs that shit in my yard and are a general nuisance. And that is the good side of the coin. Never mind the skunk with a can stuck in its head I had to dispatch one morning and leave in my yard all day because I had to get to work. You want to be a good neighbor? Keep your pet under control or don't have one.

Really your going to compare cats to kids. You must not have kids to say something like that. Or if you do your not much of a parent.

I used to get upset when my neighbor loaded her house up with oilfield guys, renting out every room she could. They parked their cars infront of my house, not a good look having all these jackasses park their terrible looking rigs in my front yard. So I asked her to not have them park there. Well that made it worse, as she was making cash on these fools and I had no ownership of the street, so now they also used my front yard as their ashtray, and beer can receptacle. So believe me I know jackwagon neighbors.

My solution was to eventually move...haha.

Actually I did move but that wasn't really the reason, I just had to except that this was going to happen and then the boom slowed down to where she just had her adult kids, and grandkids move in to help make her payments, which eliminated a majority of the problem.

I really hate when people park in front of my living room window...pet peeve, but never intended to ruin my sanity over it.

maybe I should have put a pellet in those Idahoans asses.

OK, you win KW. I love my parents and do not wish to discuss them further in this disgusting manner. I'm sorry I had a fight in your Hobbit party.

Since your reading comprehension is about as good as your shooting skills I had the same exact thing happen. My kid playing in sand box and finding shit. I trapped the cat twice with a live trap after the second time the neighbors did not let the cat out any more. 200 dollars to get out of cat jail I didn't even kick the cat or pull it's tail. My kid survived the horrible situation and is not even scarred of cats....just so traumatic on him. .... I have shot ferral cats and even a wild dog chasing deer. Do what you must but the wounding and bragging about it part is what I think is bull shit.

 

[svnmag]

257,

Do you concede the point of wounding?

Had a skunk in my yard last month, I called up God and ripped him a new one on property rights. He told me to shut the fuck up and find something useful to do. I think I pissed him off cause he told me to teach my kids about cat shit, then he blew over my mailbox.

 

[guywhofishes]

somebody PM me when this is done and let me know who won - too boring to watch in real time

That gave me a seizure.

If you are willing to shoot something you should be willing to eat it.

momma always said if it smells good eat it.

I am now 50lbs overweight...

You sir, started it. Saying I win and then making a hobbit joke obviously points out that you aren't over it. You don't know me and I don't care to know you. Don't presume to think you know me. So piss off you cum head.

You win the Best Name Calling Ever Award, congratulations!

That was a challenging challenge KW. I suppose I could dig out Polaroids of your mother in the petting zoo to achieve an erection facilitating urination in my face. It's difficult to piss with a boner.

my momma said if you can't eat it don't f--- (titty sprinkle ) it
