Was going to write that we're lucky and have no cat issues where we are.... but then realised it's because we have 2 great big dogs who tear round the garden.... tends to put the mogs off a bit!

I can't believe that cat's are pretty much allowed to roam free, toilet wherever and worry other animals (rabbits, guineas, chickens etc).

If one of my dogs even goes near livestock (for example) a farmer has the right to shoot first, ask questions later. By law I'm required to have a collar and id tags on the dogs at all times in public, pick up and dispose of my animals mess; and keep them under control at all times in public places. But cat owners don't have to do any of this!!

If my dogs escaped and killed someone's chickens or rabbit etc, there'd probably be hell to pay, but it seems like cats could do this and just saunter off with no repercussions for the owners? Is this right?
