[quote=Clever_Iggy;1055819If people take care of their cats/dogs, keep then contained, and clean up after them, then fine. If they get out by accident, Im an understanding person. But when you see your kid playing in a sandbox with cat scat in it and the same cats are left out to roam, I have absolutely no problem fixing the problem.[/quote]
You won't mind then if your kids hit a baseball through a window, and your neighbor "fixes the problem".
I keep hoping for the coyotes to get my wife's cat, but she is too canny. I suppose she may be a nuisance, but no one complains. She kills mice. Our neighbor's dog is much worse - always pooping on our yard, and ripping up our garbage. I suppose I could "fix the problem", but it's really not that big an annoyance now, is it?
I know cats are supposed to stay inside by law; by nature, they are 100% killing machines, and to lock them inside is cruel. Our cat would be climbing the walls if she wasn't let out.
My dad used to have an electric trap on his fence to shock cats going near his bird house. He heard some awful wailing one night, and took the trap away.
Be thankful you don't live in Athens - the city is full of feral cats.
