Cats - should they be let outside?

Kind of OT, but does it piss anyone else off when you find a dog with collar running around the neighborhood, you return it to the house, and all you get is an "oh... yeah we let him play in the backyard, and he can get out if he wants... thanks i guess".

Yeah I just saved your ****ing dog. Take care of it.

 

My dogs were doing it all the time. Every time I fixed the problem there was another. My one dog jumped the fence on a regular basis and we had to start chaining him up, but has since quit doing it, and I've had to shut my gate with numerous obstacles. Drives me crazy, but I bet my neighbors are happy about it finally being fixed.

 

Just looked through the City of Houston code, and no, it isn't illegal. All of the ordinances refering to impoundment and free running animals are specifically listed for only dogs. Similarly, you don't have the right in the city of Houston to kidnap wildlife, like songbirds and send them to animal control because they "tresspass".

 

It is not prohibited by city ordinance.

 

My boss has had the pound come put up a trap at our work. They have only been able to catch one cat, because the cats are really too smart. Unfortunately most have them have died in other ways. Animal Control where I work gases the animals. To me that is inhumane. Not that killing a cat/dog for trespassing is very humane.

 

Ottoman has cracked up. He is obviously a catlady. He is threatening to kill folk for his animals repeatedly disturbing others property while he condones it. Dude get a grip and a cat fence, and we won't have to worry about a old west shootout. You obviously have some deep seeded issues. I would happily haul your cat off for you.

And fat jokes, really. When you run out of useful things and have nothing of substance to help you ,attack the person, not the argument. Or you can just threaten to shoot someone. Either way, This means you have officially lost. Time to throw in the towell fella's

 

I'm with you on respecting animals but to stoop down to using violence...guns are not the answer

 

How about leaving out poisoned fruit pies for roaming fat kids?

 

fat people don't eat fruit

You're being ridiculous. Most normal people who live in the suburbs don't have these problems that you do. I have never in my entire life seen cat **** in random places because it is a natural instinct for them to cover it up. They find soft dirt or other likewise material to do business on, and then go over it and ever sniff it to make sure it is covered. Ok, I can see how cat prints on your car would annoy you. I don't know what neighborhood you live in, but I thought it was common sense to close up your car windows when you aren't in it. Forget cats, what if a raccoon or possum went in there?? That's just being a lazy mofo and blaming cats for it.

 

Funny thing is, I have never had a problem with a possum or raccoon getting in my car, only cats. It makes me lazy to leave my window down, listening to music while working in my yard? You are being ridiculous. It sure is funny the only people who think you can't find cat poop are the ones who let their cats roam. Coincidence, I think not. And why would you quote that and completely ignore the question? And before you say a mountain lion is ridiculous, someone else used one as example as to why it is okay for cats to roam. That is why it is used there. But the type of animal doesn't matter. Why should that change the outcome of your responsibility?

 

As for the grill thing, what type of nub doesn't cover their damn grill?? Jesus, you people make it seem like you're such victims but you don't do a damn thing to protect your own property. Once again, I'm sure birds, insects, and weird animals take dumps on your shizz as well. Do your part and maybe it wont be such an issue.

 

Hamza, you can't be serious. Now, it is our responsibility to protect all of our stuff from your animals in our yards. You honestly don't believe it is your fault at all? We have to cover our grills in our fenced yards so your animals don't ruin them? Have some respect for your neighbors and take responsibility for your actions. Even if it was covered and your cat sprayed it, the whole thing would stink anyways. That smell just doesn't go away. If I went in your yard and pissed on your grill, would it be your fault for not covering it?

I don't let my cats roam. I haven't had any cats in a while, but I still think you're being a little drama queen. IDK dude, I would say 99% of the poop you step in is dog poop. I find it funny that the ones who notice cat poop are the ones who hate cats. Coincidence, I think not. You're right, it would be better if cats didn't roam. However, it isn't the norm for them to be destructive to the extent that you're describing, hence why most people don't have a problem with it.

It's not their fault at all. I'm just saying that if you're worried about your stuff maybe you should do more to protect it. A cat can definitely take a whizz on your stuff and hell I'd be pissed too. I'm just saying this isn't the norm. Can you make judgment upon an entire situation using isolated instances?? Again, I don't think most people feel like they are being victimized. Why didn't you make a poll if you wanted to ask a question like that??

 

And it's your simple minded opinion that the cat is independent when it's pretty obvious most cats are plain stupid. And leave my family out of this, that shows a lack of class on your part.

I do have a dog, I have had small dogs and large dogs in my lifetime. I currently have a Lab. I don't need to explain the things I've done in my community for others or the intelligence it takes to hold the type of job I have to some idiot on the net who thinks he knows me based on my remarks about the intellect of a cat. I think your the one whose nerve was struck when you chose to call me out because you needed to reinforce your manhood because you thought I making fun of you while you were standing in your pink house shoes on the curb calling your precious bootsey for din din.

Here here here moonkity here here monkitty, come make another dumbass post defending your love for your precious bootsey...
