Re: Should cats be made illegal!?
OOOO hhhhh NNN oooo not again. Another thread deteriorates into rubbish and backbiting. Get lost the lot of you, this is a thread about CATS in case you'd forgotten. And I know we like thread wanders, but this sort is becoming all too predictable.

There is one way that works - putting a bell collar on your cat - it stops them from creeping up on birds, the birds hear it and fly off, all good pet shops have them.

Oh right well, mine has one already. Yay! I'm responsible! That's a relief!

OK Kes, you've answered my question in post 73. Not surprised you didn't find it with all the flak flying about!

A friend of mine put a bell on her cats collar, the cat learnt to scrape along the floor until it could get the bell in it's mouth then it could creep up silently until the pounce.

I noticed today in Daily Express page 4 - "Cats 'pose health risk to humans!'" the claim 70,000 get it every year and if a child is born with it causes damage for life apparently! Perhaps it's the start of a medical conspiracy against cats?

Exactly.
Cats, should they as a species be made illegal?
Purr-lease!
Whoosh.
Right over some humourless folks' heads.
Though as the forum archivist, I do think it better, if this thread was stored in Anything Goes.
