Murderous Intent

Just when you think you have seen it all.

Just had a blooming great long-haired ginger tom in the back garden. It was stalking a squirrel. Never seen that before. Luckily the squirrel was one step ahead of the aforementioned potential murderer.

Have to say this incident has just hardened my, already, concrete view of moggies. I really cannot stand them. Horrible creatures which will kill anything furry or feathery and smaller than themselves. I know that there are many people that love their cats but, for me, I just wish they loved them and kept them in their own gardens.

Sorry if that has annoyed anybody but it is the way that I feel!

What Can We Do About Cats?

Now, I have never been a cat lover. Some people are and some people aren't, all a matter of opinion. Cats have never really bothered me before but lately they are playing a bigger part in my life. Why you may ask? Well simply because over the last few months we seem to be having many visitations to our garden by them. They are digging in the soil and messing all over the place. This is definitely not nice. I have had to chase several off when they have been hunting the birds in the garden and so far have stopped them in their murderous intent. So what can I do about them?

As I say I am not a cat lover but I do not want to do them any harm, so how can I rid myself of this problem? I have tried some of the stuff that you buy in the shops to keep them away but it doesn't seem to work. I don't suppose that approaching the "owners" is going to do any good as there is not much they can do to stop them entering other peoples property and they have no control over them.

Any ideas anybody may have would be gratefully received. Starting to get towards the end of my tether!!!
