Why do cat owners think it's acceptable to let their mongrels roam the neighborhood?

My dogs are not allowed to just crap anywhere. I have a fenced in yard. If I take them for a walk I make them go out in the back yard first to do their business so I don't have to worry about them soiling someone else's yard. The only place I let my dogs run free is at my lakehouse where I have lots of property and that is only with me standing there watching them to make sure they do not leave the property. If I can't stand there and watch them they go back in the house. If my dogs bark I immediately pull them into the house.

People who let their dogs do all the things you say are irresponsible pet owners.....just like the fools who let their cats roam the neighborhood.

You claim that cat owners are "emotional wrecks", and that dog owners--as a whole!--are "more responsible." You once again claim that cat owners are "emotionally unstable", and prone to "stock up on cats"--unlike the rational dog owners. You claim there are a "huge number" of cat fanatics with 20, 40, 80+! cats. You enjoy the videotape that was made of your friend's Doberman ripping cats apart.
What am I left to conclude but that you have some sort of bizarre elitist mentality about your choice of pet? Your posts are just strange. You make multiple wild claims that have no resemblence whatsoever to real life, and you obviously nurse some sort of strange grudge against cats in general--perhaps the reason why your view of the world is so colored.

Seek help, dude. Irrational bigotry is no longer a family value.

(I bet if I reveal that I owned a cat, this guy's whole theory would go up in smoke)

OK, I bolded the points you have yet to address:roll:

It's a tough life these cats live on the streets. It's bad enough that they have dogs, raccoons, foxes, wolves, and owls to deal with - never mind the rampant teen pregnancy and worms that get spread like wildfire - they don't need you hassling them on top of it! Life is tuff on the streetz.

Rats were abundant in towns and cities - they ate the food, and carried disease, and so people kept cats to control the rats. People have always had cats, and they have always let the roam around.

So yes, they are supposed to be outside.

Wrong. The law says that they are to be contained on your property.

Aint no law like that where I live.

Using the argument that "people always used to do xxx, so it's right" isn't a valid argument. People used to behead "witches", too. I guess if they used to do it then, that makes it right now.

People have always smoked, so even if smoking is a 'bad thing', it is socially acceptable.

If your cat wanders into Ronstang's yard and he captures it and brings it 30 miles away, you can't complain, because what was it doing in his yard?

I don't have a cat, I don't like cats, I have a dog.

Too bad there aren't people like you around here. A few months ago my dad got bitten by some random dog. I don't know what's wrong with people.

Aaron....If I know who the cat belongs to I talk to them about it. All the cats I have gotten rid of were ones I could not identify and I have never really had a problem with any neighbor cats because none of them are allowed to roam. I trapped one of my neighbors' cats multiple times but I just let Pookey go because he was a lazy harmless fluff ball but eventually someone esle in the neighborhood trapped him and disemboweled him and threw him in the street in front of their house....wasn't me.

I'm not sure why many of you assume this is no problem. When I lived in zip 43203 (look up the safety stats, where there is crime, there is always cats), there were loads loose/ferrel cats. Those damn things, the females would get in heat, then there are 4 males fighting over her howling, screaming, whining, and fighting. Sometimes they sound like babies crying. It seems they often wait until 2AM and fight until 6AM, when its time to get up for work.

One summer, my dog took out 3 cats. 2 of which entered the fenced back yard, one of which he escaped to finish off.

Roy, what a good boy.

I don't mind cats. It's the overly emotional, looney cat owners which I don't like. You are a perfect example.

Cats are NOT SUPPOSED to be outside. If they roam into my yard and become a constant nuisance I am going to trap it and you will never see it again. Go ahead, let your cat roam.

You are a horrible person. Fvck you.

That's a risk one takes with outdoor cats. Deal with it.

At least you understand why I have to do it Aaron. Most here wouldn't be able to comprehend.

You have to do it because you are a dickhead. All you have to do is buy a fvcking supersoaker and spray it with water. It will avoid your property. Taking a cat with a neighborhood owner to the spca 30 miles away doesn't make you a responsible citizen, it just makes you an asshole who thinks he's a big man.

Of course I'm not saying cats cause the crime.

Where neighborhoods passively permit (via apathy) crime to go rampant , its seems there are wild cats.

He's saying that cats cause crime. And he's right.

My friend's truck got stolen. The police never caught the guys, probably because they were cats. And don't even get me started on the JFK assassination.

I realize by the way you respond that you are 12, maybe a little older, so that means you don't really own anything and thus have no concept of value. I restore classic cars and build custom ones. I have cars that are worth more than some people's houses. I am not going to have a cat on any of my cars or using the isnide as a litter box....and yes, I have had cats piss in my cars. I even had one take a crap in one I was working on in my garage. I caught him in the act. The interior in my Shelby is original and I cannot put a price on that. It will never happen again. When I was younger I simply shot them but now I just trap them and ensure they do not bother me anymore.

That's my line. Come up with your own material!

 

[Iron Addict]

I say leave a note without a name stating the reason why he shouldn't leave his cat out.

 

[ballmode]

If the cat is on the property, its fair game.

One year our neighbor had a cat go under the crawl in space. It died and boy did that house stink along with the surroundings. Just another reason why cats are annoying.

The neighbors used to have cat... I dont see it outside anymore... I wonder why...

I think you hit it on the head with what you said about your neighbor's cat. It comes down to knowing your neighbors and respecting what they say. If the neighbors complain about the cat, it should be kept inside if it's possible, or given away to someone who can give it the space it needs. If you have a good relationship with your neighbors, then this kind of thing gets solved.

Absolutley. I love cats in the neighborhood. They kill all of the vermin

If you show cat owners a video of a cat getting killed, they go apesh!t. Then they make no changes whatsoever to prevent this from happening to their cat. If anything, they'll stock up on more cats.

Wow. Did you do a study and determine one second is the average period of emotional response to dog death?

How on earth can you generalize about owners of cats and dogs? Cat owners "go apesh!t" after seeing a pet being killed, and dog owners don't?

This is incredulous.


For the record, I own neither.

If I had a truck and cage, I would bait them into it, lock it up, and drive the cat far far far far farrrr away in the city somewhere then drop it off.

Of all the possible reasons for positioning high powered ordnance right next to your front door, this has to be the most pathetic one anyone has ever personally admitted to.

BOO! Hahahahahaha! Made you wet yourself, you paranoid pussy . . . hater.

a .410? high powered ordnance?

Dude, anything more than .22 is ridiculous overkill for an animal the size of a domestic cat.

And the most fearsome thing I keep by my front door, lol, is an umbrella stand.

You?

Oh please, I live out in the country, and cats are not the only reason I have that little shotgun sitting there. Raccoons that get on the porch, and skunks also.

Only pussies leave their weapons locked up where they are useless.

And the little shotgun is far superior to a 22, sometimes they are moving and don't hold still. Quick, clean death.

If they are further out I might grab the AR or something like that, but the .410 usually does the trick.

Is this before or after you poison them?

Yes, this was a detailed, double-blind study commissioned by the CIA. Unfortunately the information is classified and I can't give more detailed information. It's for your own safety.
