We had a small one which we would use to shoot the cat if he jumped on the table. After a while just picking up the gun and giving it one squeeze, which never even relased water, it only primed it, was enough to make the cat run. **** Yes, my sister trained her two deaf pugs that way, but I'm tired of waking every night at 3am to them under the house, much less am I going to chase them with a water gun in the middle of the night. I want them gone, or dead, when I wake up. They're not my cats... why should I train someone else's who is too lazy to train them them selves? I'd get a dog, but there are too many native birds I don't want to chase away. Maybe a killer duck, or mean goose!	binzi (6957)

Your first post dragged up a thread about cats which had already gone to 148 posts before it mercifully died. Your own contribution simply added an April moan to the January moans.. And your latest post follows similar lines. You seem to be looking for somewhere to sound off, rather than ask or answer a question. However, if you really have read all of this thread before making your cat feelings known, I'll try to guess the question.... No, we can't recommend a good brand for bear-traps, as there's not a lot of call for them around here. Neither are we big on sales of the Killer ducks you mentioned. Our own small colony lives on an offshore volcanic island, generally considered too dangerous to land on. Mean geese are much easier to find. But Boy do they cost! They raised their cat quotes so high recently that they've practically priced themselves off the market. Possibly you'd do better closer to home? Somewhere with alligators, maybe?	Laura (43)

Before you all say 'huh?', picture the scene (just imagine it's an advert)- your garden, pan to that pesky, mangy cat from next door/ down the street about to wonder all over your property and do its business on your lawn. Fix camera on the thinly-disguised springboard as cat walks onto it, and then BOING! Cat yowls as it's flung several metres into the air. It will never come back! Priceless! :D I should make one of these and then tape it- on the internet alone I'd make a fortune! lol	Sick Puppy (6959)
316626	2006-04-08 06:40:00	What a load of rubbish. Cats are (or should be) noxious amimals. Kill them on sight. And make their owners pay an enormous registration fee. The do it with dogs, why not cats? ABSOLUTELY!!! We keep goldifsh inbowls, hamsters in cages, dogs on a leash (unless they are working animals on farms)... so what the hell are cats doing roaming free? And these are 'beloved pets'??? I don't care about the odd cat-crap in my garden, I'm not that shallow. I DO care about five or six cats fighting on my porch and yeowling under my house at 3am crapping on what I've got stored down there. Cats, rats, possum, rabbits... all vermon. If you want to keep one in your house, that's up to you... but I don't want them on my property! And if your lil' Fluffy is found dead on MY property, It's your fault, not mine, and I'll fight that in court 'til death if I ave to.	binzi (6957)

Tediously serious you are. Sorry, I live in Kingsland, and much of that was toungue-in-cheek frustration with the plethora of neighborhood 'moggies' that terrorize the streets all night here. I accidentally tripped on a thread of "obnoxious cats" which I responded to. I don't care how old it is, I'm still getting feedback. and many agree with me. I'm amazed at how selfish and small-minded the cat owners replies have been, expecting me to go out of my way to deter their cats from my property. If, however, I did live somewhere else, I'm sure I wouldn't even have to be posting this here. Welcome to 'she'll be right' Aotearoa.	binzi (6957)

316630	2006-04-12 11:07:00	www.newstalkzb.co.nz Call for cat controls 12/04/2006 14:04:02 There is a claim cats are so ecologically dangerous there should be a limit on how many people can have. Ray Spring of the Christchurch Cat Control Campaign group wants to see a one-house one-cat policy introduced, and the introduction of cat registration and microchipping. He says domestic cats are an ecological disaster because they eat native birds and insects. Mr Spring says one cat per house is too many, but they had to set that limit as they have cat lovers in their group. He says the problem lies with middle-aged single lonely women, who dote on cats. Mr Spring says the country cannot afford to have hordes of cats, because they are an ecological disaster.	legod (4626)

And if puss is outlawed whatever, what do you think happens to the rat/mouse/mustilid population? There are studies which show that these are the real threat to native birds . Having said that, I'd actually go along with chipped cats for the pets, and feral cats being exterminated . They are a danger but nowhere near as bad as anti-cat people make out .	Winston001 (3612)
