Speeding doesn't kill puppies, it kills cats

Careful, Mr Hedgehog, it was this type in enthusiastic pest control technology concept that got me banned by the PH Gestapo. PH is not the openly discussive forum it once was...

“Speeding has been a very big problem and there have been several cats killed in recent years as a result of drivers ignoring the 30mph limit.

Unsure where they are getting the link between the two from.
There could be fewer cats being killed because drivers got passed them in time for all they know.

Typical 'village types'.

you couldn't make it up ...

so they calculated the speed involved in all the CTA's ...

bunch of old duffers who have nothing better to do to fill the time till they die ...

Yep. Parish councils should be banned. And I have a cat as well.

30 mph or 35 mph, if a cat bursts out of hiding at the last minute to dash across the road, its got a good chance of becoming flat.

Or, more cat lady types moved to the village and by way of higher cat population, statistically a few more get pancaked. Nothing to do with the speed, all to do with more cats.

maybe all the cats should be forced to take a road awareness course, would be a nice little earner for the council as well

They didn't listen to the squirrels why would they listen to a speed awareness course

I hate it when football fans st on mine. Seriously, I live near a football ground and people park all round the estate where I live and use it as a toilet after the match. I think football should be banned personally. How sure are you it's cats in your case?

I agree, but I am quite sure the football fans sg in you area would be fined if caught, same as a dog owner if they let their dog st without picking it up.
However I have never heard of the cat owners who let their 'pet' roam free; not seeming to care where they st being fined.

Especially the repeat offending Siamese thing that frequents my neighbourhood.

What cat owners need to do is neuter their cats. It means they're less likely to roam, though mine still does, and it certainly means they're very unlikely to go crapping all over the place. Cats are normally very tidy and bury their business. What gets left lying around is generally left by un-neutered males.

Cats hate the smell of citrus fruit. Leave sliced citrus fruit or citrus peel in your garden and it might keep them away. Squirting something like lemon juice might be more effective than just water as not all cats are bothered about getting a bit wet.

Bear in mind as well that mess blamed on cats or dogs can often be other wild animals like foxes.
