birdman55678 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 Put the danged cat in a berlap sack along with a brick and head for the nearest water. Guarenteed it won't be back and even if he has a chip he won't be back.. LOL. ;D Ed
velo99 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 M8`s As I stated in a previous post,once a cat kills a bird it isn`t a pet anymore.It is a predator and can be dealty with accordingly. The laws were written to prevent cruelty to cats at the hands of,shall we say ,hooligans. Cat owners are under the same responsibliltiy to restrain their animals as dog owners. Anyone who lets a cat out to roam is in effect,abandoning the animal. It could be possible to prosecute a cat owner with his own protective law with a simple snap of the digicam? Either way;unrestrained animal or abandonment,the owner should be ticketed. With this information in hand it isn`t hard to make the leap to this logic. Any cat that roams free is feral. Responsible owners are not going to let their animal run loose. Get out your live traps and a can of kippers. Trap cat with a collar, turn it in.The owner should be issued a ticket and have to pay to get his cat back. If it has a chip, same punishment as a collar. No collar,the animal will be put down in three days. MTP
Roland Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 Cat's still haven't the 'Lincense to Roam'. That is a myth and the owner is responcible, and are liable to any Out of pocket or damage or killing of any pets, birds etc.

Guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 Interesting link. States 6 million - 9 million domestic cats in UK and take 250 million items of prey annually.

velo99 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 causes anyone to do any of these things or, being a cat owner, allows someone else to do these things to his (or her) cat; an owner is deemed to have permitted cruelty if he (or she) fails to exercise reasonable care and supervision in respect of the protection of the cat or kitten from such cruelty. If one lets thier cat roam they are failing to execise reasonable care. Cats can get diseases from being outdoors or in contact with feral cats. They can be attacked by dogs or wild animals. They can fall into the hands of one whom might harm them. They can be run over by a truck. So by letting it roam free one is not exercising reasonable care for the animal. I also saw where a cat can`t be held responsible for trespass or damages under the cattle/livestock law. I would hazard a guess though if one were to check the local animal ordinances one could find ordinances against letting cats roam. If this is true,the owner would be responsible for damages by default. mtp

Guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 Just a thought. Everyone is talking about cruelty laws here. But if a known killing machine like a domestic cat is coming about your loft and the owner has been told about it but doesn't solve your problem, then surely you are allowed to protect your birds, provided the method you employ to remove the problem cat isn't cruel?

velo99 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 grooter, Get yer cam out mate and start taking pics of the cats. Ask the owner if they are his . If he answers yes,inform him of their activities and your intent to go to the law and your legal counsel. Ask him if his insurance policy covers damage his animals cause. The tell him you have some 100 quid pigeons his cats prefer over the kibble he feeds and which would he rather pay for. If he answers no,start trapping them. They are feral. Now if you want to get his *expletive removed*,snap a pic of his feeding the cats and go to the law with those pics as well as the pics of them on your property. Check you local ordinances on pet control and limits to the number of cats one can own.
Roland Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/scotland/family_parent/housing_scotland/11152540_cruelty_to_animals.htm Animals causing a nuisance What you can do when you know who the owner is How you deal with an animal causing a nuisance will depend on the type of problem caused by the animal and who owns the animal. If you know the owners it is usually worth contacting them to try to resolve the problem. If the problems continue you can apply to the district court for an order that will instruct the owner of the animal to stop it from annoying you. If the animal has caused significant damage you can claim compensation from the owner at the same time as applying for the order. You should discuss this option with a solicitor.

Guest slugmonkey Posted January 29, 2007 Report Posted January 29, 2007 the thing to do is warn neighbor first, if problem comes up again then call animal control after you have caught cat and evidence make a report at time of arrival of animal control listing ALL birds known to have been killed by this animal, neighbor has 2 choices go get cat ( and admit ownership and liability ) or let it be adopted or destroyed the problem we have here is now you have made neighbor mad and at some time shoe will be on other foot ( like birds landing on his house or yard ) the best way is to try to figure out some way to teach cat not to go in loft I have hosed my cat and neighbors a couple of times and this has seemed to cure problem they really don't like water and when you confine and spray them it REALLY sinks in
