Just curious -- Dont you have wheelie Bins to put rubbish in ?

Lots of people simply put the rubbish in Plastic bags (Some Degradable) which is placed in the wheelie bin, put out on the curb on their rubbish day. No problems with Cats or any other animals getting into them.

It would improve our life if we did, but Taupō has yet to move into the 21st century on this issue.

1465097 2019-12-01 04:10:00 Hmmm, one of the male rottweillers got loose from its own property this pm, proceeded to roam all over the neighbourhood, tearing up the grass on peoples' properties, and peeing and crapping everywhere, and then started hunting and chasing cats around the houses. It certainly stirred up the neighbourhood; I can only imagine what the cats are thinking... John H (8)
1465098 2019-12-01 04:51:00 Maybe thats solved your problem John. CliveM (6007)
1465099 2019-12-01 04:57:00 Maybe, but it might have created a bigger one - cats might cause trouble but they aren't dangerous! John H (8)
1465100 2019-12-01 05:02:00 There are no wheelie bins here. No animals rip open the bags though, no idea why not.
Maybe nothing delicious put in them?

1465101 2019-12-01 05:06:00 The last one we had died relatively young ..... He was simply irreplaceable, and I made the decision that any other cat after him would be a huge disappointment

You don't replace them.
You just have other pets, who are completely different and have their own personalities.
I am not sure how many I have owned - roughly 15 ish?, most didn't get past age 15. Some were barely a year.

One left now is 18...OMG. She was always the nosey one too, and I thought she'd use her lives ages ago...but here she is, outlived her entire family.
Every time one died, whether by accident, illness or age, I missed them horribly.
Many were my favourite, including Miss 18 yr olds sister, recently deceased.

But then, the new arrivals are fun too. And will no doubt be missed horribly when their time ends.
I have only ever actually gone and got 2 of these pets, the rest arrived in various ways....some dropped off, some were refugees and so on....

Cats just happen.

Well, I haven't seen a single neighbourhood cat since the rottweiller went ape on the weekend. I know how they feel because it came onto our property and had a go at me. Yesterday was rubbish day, and I sprayed the plastic rubbish bag, but it was a complete waste of time given the absence of cats!
