Not one for you 'cat lovers' I'm afraid, but yes they can be a nuisance, so should owners of these feline creatures now be made responsible for them?

I understand the reasons that he has given for his dislike of cats but he seems a little OTT in his reaction to the problem.
Is he saying that his extremely educated brain is incapable of outsmarting a small animal like a cat?
The only cat problem that I have is the huge bundle of fur currently on my desk and stomping on the spacebar and the one looking out at the rain and howling.

It seems unfortunate that a scientist doesn't recognise that predation by cats is beneficial to the evolutionary development of birds, as cats normally fail to catch any birds other than the weakest.
My own cat problems come down to:
(a) having only a tiny part of my bed to sleep on, because there are always several cats taking up the nearly all of the space ;
(b) constantly having to re-type answers here on AB because a cat has just jumped onto the keyboard ;
(c) having to eat most of meals standing up, clutching a plate in one hand and a fork in the other, to prevent a feline nose finding its way into my food ; and
(d) a ruddy great hole in my bank balance through looking after them all!

It would seem that Mr Mowforth runs a wildlife photography company. Draw your own conclusions.

I am not a pet owner but in my limited experience the feline of the species is vastly superior to the canine. Let me tell you a story:
A few months ago I was sitting in the bus shelter on my own when approached by a cat miaowing pitifully. I said, "Hello, Pussy," (as you do), which the cat took as my acceptance of it. It kept rubbing itself between my legs, miaowing all the time. What a friendly cat, I thought. Wrong! The reason he was so keen to rub up against my legs was not affection, merely that he wanted somewhere to deposit his fleas! Having done so to his satisfaction he turned his back upon me, tail held high, crossed the road whilst ensuring that I had ample opportunity to view the tea towel holder!

>>>I can`t understand why the owners don`t put a collar and bell on it. That would solve a lot of the bird killings
Precisely because many owners want their cats (and others) to follow their natural instincts. I've only ever put a collar on an (all black) cat so that it would be more visible when crossing the road. However I deliberately removed the bell, so that he would be able to hunt efficiently.
None of my 5 cats has a collar, nor ever will have. If I stroke someone else's cat that has a bell on its collar, that bell has a strange habit of becoming loose and falling off!
