    Turn the hose on them

    Or chuck water on them if you're in a hosepipe ban area. Bit less drastic than some of the other solutions posted but they really don't like it and they'd rather crap somewhere they're not going to get a good soaking. And it doesn't involve killing someone's pet, which has got to be a good thing whether you like them or not.

    My friend, like me,  wouldn't hurt an animal, pet or otherwise.

    A worthy sentiment but one which seems not to be shared by a number of other posters on here.

    I guess most of it's jest but there are plenty of people around who think that only humans are capable of suffering.</p>



    Still can't see the logic of opposing discrimination between races but not species. Same selfish sentiment as far as I can see.</p>

    RE: Turn the hose on them

    Shooting cats touches a bit of a raw nerve with me at the moment - we've been jabbing one of ours with Ketofen (anti-inflammatory and painkiller) on a daily basis because of complications from when he was shot by our UK neighbour a few years back. When it flares up his back legs don't work and he's terrified. He fell down the stairs when it happened last month. It's shocking to know that somebody did this to him deliberately.

    If he'd been my neighbour he'd be having complications of his own but you're probably more forgiving than I.</p>



    This is one of the reasons I'd never have another cat, you just can't keep them safe and there are some horrible ******* out there.</p>

    Shot by your neighbour? They'd have been paid back in kind.

    This was meant to be a reply to Burgundy's post under Cazi's thread. The reason it isn't is a complicated one, but it has something to do with me being a tw*t.

    dont know how but it works....apparently

    fill old pop bottles with water and leave them on the lawn.

    i used to do a milk round when i was at school and there must have been 20-30 gardens with these bottles all on differant estates.

    if i ever caught the owners going to work i asked them what the bottles were for and thay all said to keep cats out of the garden.

    Leave a saucer of water with soluble aspirins dissolved in it for the offending feline. NB you'll have to dispose of the body afterwards.
