Re: cat assassin in clayton area
ok, let me clear this up once and for all.
The gun i have fires not lead, it fires little plastic bb's...not metal.
I do NOT go out hunting cats, i just scare the buggers when they come into the garden.
I have targets scattered around the garden and when i shoot AT them, i purposely miss so that the TARGET makes a loud sound which the cat DOES not like...infact they run a mile.
And nooooo, im not posting to incite anything, im just discussing methods i use to rid my garden from vermin and cats.
I thank you.

Re: cat assassin in clayton area
Accyman, you are entitled to you opinion about cats, but I'm sure that you, as a sensible person, would use normal, safe deterants in your garden that you can get from supermarkets and garden centres. Not shoot at them with any type of gun.
Regarding young lads/girls who cause trouble with motorbikes or mopeds, just take photos, take numbers of bikes and contact the police.
And DANNY... why do you have binbags? dont you have a bin? Put your rubbins in a bin, your encouraging mice and rats into your garden if you dont dispose of your rubbish properly.

Re: cat assassin in clayton area
Having a BB gun in the house and letting your kids see you use it is foolhardy.
If you insist on keeping it, lock it away where they can't find it

Re: cat assassin in clayton area
ok, 1) my bin got stolen AGES ago and our "excellent" council have yet to provide us with another. So its either they're outside...or in the house stinking.
And margaret...i do not like your patronising tone. I dont have the bb gun anywhere near where the children can reach it, im not stupid. Its way hiiiigh up in a cupboard which is even out of reach from my gf who is 5ft 7. And, failing that there is a saftey catch...AND...it isnt loaded when not in use.
So please dont think im one of these irresponsible lunatics that dont have any common sense whatsoever.

Re: cat assassin in clayton area
If you have a problem with cats, why not just use an empty washing up liquid bottle, fill it with water and squirt the cats when they come into your garden, cats hate water and it won't take them long to learn to give your garden a wide birth, but using a BB gun can get you into trouble, if it hasn't already done so, these sites are moniered

Re: cat assassin in clayton area
Ive tried the bottle of water thing, as ive tried anything. A loud bang from a ball hiting cardboard seems to be working.
And as for my bin...i dont know. Just goes to show how crap hyndburn council are.

Re: cat assassin in clayton area
JAY thats just plain nasty, squirting cats with water, giving them pneumonia then they die, at least Danny isnt harming the cats, he isnt actually shooting AT them
now jay, go stand in the corner and say a few hail marys, then go to confession and tell them that you kill cats with water

A screeching personal attack alarm works and isn't illegal

Re: cat assassin in clayton area
lol
Anyway, im gonna shut up about the whole subject because it seems i aint gonna get any good karma points if i behave in such a manner.
In closing, i have a better solution which will please everybody..even the cats.
LET THEM, poo in my garden. thats fine. But i know who's cat belongs to who on my street so instead of punishing the cat, i will do so to the owner.
How, you ask??? Well, thats simple.
I simply scoop the mess from my garden...march down the street...and simply tip it into the owners garden ( even if they have a patio ). And if this carrys on and they continue to use my garden, the poo will go through their letter box.
NOW STICK THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT HIPPIES!!!
