That's right mate. A cat will always spit out what it doesn't want, but asprin has an odd effect on their brain. Makes 'em go

I reckon that if you are going to kill your neighbour's pets you should do it humanely and hand over the corpse to them. Poisoning is a coward's game.

Cory, the sentence that does it is:

 

"ambushed by the reptile in a neighbouring garden."

 

The owner of his pet (the snake) was in HIS garden - the cat was a "trespasser" Maybe now people will stop this "it's a cat, it does what it wants!" attitude!

I am seriously thinking of buying a snake!!

 

P.S. - I do have a cat!!

 

the point is "it's a cat, it does what it wants!" is more or less right and it is protected just as much as any other animal (as its a pet probably more so) there is no cat fouling laws in the UK nor can you prosecute them for visiting your garden

they are also "property" (tell that to a cat) so is treated the same way as other property ie you damage it you pay (if your caught)

 

the council can step in if you can prove a visiting cat is a serious health hazard or destroys your property ,most cases only cause bad feelings in the neighbours rather than actually stopping pussy doing what it pleases in a court of law.

 

you could though set up a motion sensor operating a hose to dissuade tibbles from visiting or get involved with a high powered water pistol ,both cause alarm but not harm to the animal and are probably quite fun to use ,so much so perhaps ginger may be welcomed to your garden for your entertainment .

 

the neighbours cats do their doings on occasion but the worst damage is by the woodpeckers and jackdaws digging up the lawn ,in this case we overlook the crap to see the benefits of the visiting cats stopping the feathered hole diggers.

they will also take out the odd mousy who could be planning to invade your shed and eat your rod handles so i wouldn't be to hard on cats

dogs on the other hand are controllable but crap in our garden and on the path outside and bark at night ,all dogs that bark outside of a command to do so and crap willy nilly need shooting in their case there is no excuse

 

the snake ofcourse is a dangerous wild animal so eating tibbles is the second offence the first being releasing the snake (albeit pythons are not listed as dangerous wild animals despite eating people )

 

if i were king for a day i would ban the import of all foreign animals birds and snakes ,they are not needed here

 

no i dont have a cat nor any other animal

I don't have a problem with the snake eating the cat, but who in their right minds leaves a snake loose in a garden?

 

What I'm really asking is how do you avoid losing it?

Its extremely irresponsible to allow a 13ft burmese python out in your garden unsupervised apart from just the risk of losing your pet at 13ft in length a burmese python is quite capable of killing someone (it wouldn't be able to eat them though) from what i've read you shouldn't really even be handling snakes over 8ft long by yourself (a rough guide with big snakes is one handler per 5ft of snake) however in reality large dogs can be just as dangerous(at least to cats) & almost certainly injure more animals and humans every year in this country than do large snakes.

To be honest i think both parties are to blame (it also makes me wonder if they would have called for cars to be banned if "wilbur" had been run over & squished on his free roaming adventures instead of being eaten).
