| Quote ="christopher"As I said before I love cats so am probably biased, but I would say dog poo is a far bigger problem than cat poo, can't say I ever remember standing in cat poo on the public pathways. But as for killing wildlife I'm sure cats do have an effect on the bird population. Maybe a cat license would be a good idea? Cats should also have to be neutered and spayed unless you are a registered breeder IMO. Or keep em indoors, my two are perfectly healthy and happy and don't go out so cause no bother.'"
It's not public paths there using though is it , It's peoples gardens . Look up Toxoplasmosis if you don't think cat sh!7 isn't dangerous .

You mean foxes, badgers and hedgehogs are all using my garden as a toilet?
I wasn't aware of this ... something needs to be done.

| Lets face it cats are easy to look after and thats why there numbers have doubled in resent years.Lazy owners just let them out at night and let then back in, in the morning.They put a bowl of water and food out for them then away to work they go.They come home from work,give the cat a stroke,then throw it out again to begin it murdering,crapping spree again.
Iv'e no idea why cats even exist anymore.

Animals defacate, and they really don't respect boundaries.

Erm, most animal faeces is dangerous, not just cats, look up Toxocariasis 'if you don't think dog sh!7 isn't dangerous' (I've quoted your strange use of a double negative for effect)

Judging by the noises coming out of my garden some nights I think the foxes are using it as a knocking shop, never mind a toilet.
Plus they keep leaving their used condoms everywhere...

No need to go to those lengths to find fox or badger poo - just borrow my dog for a day, if there's a patch of recent fox or badger poo anywhere within half a mile he'll find it and rub his face in it, many is the happy hour I've spent scrubbing his head clean with a yard brush and a hosepipe.
PS, wild animal poo REALLY stinks.

Oh I can so relate. Fox poo is usually green in colour too and very slimy. They say ketchup gets rid of the lingering smell but I've yet to put my precious ketchup all over my dogs

Depends where you're setting the bar for how big the cat can be.

| Two of ours are rapacious: one only hunts in Spring but brings us endless quantities of May Bugs, the other is adept at catching and bringing home earthworms. All are alive when presented at my feet, the May Bugs get fed to the bearded dragons, the puffer fish love their earthworms.

| I have personally witnessed a pigeon get on the Piccadilly line at Hounslow West and travel to Hammersmith, standing by the doors and apparently ignoring them opening and closing at intervening stations.
Strange.
I mean, who'd want to go to Hammersmith?

| It's how modern urban pigeons navigate.
Where once they used magnetic fields, now they just use the tube map.
Struggle a bit with it not being to scale, but then again they've only got brains the size of a thimble.

I know the answer to this, as i researched it for my Masters. It's when they need to take a dump so bad , they're too heavy to fly. Ealing and Acton are so full of shiitt they have to go somewhere with more space and underneath the flyover is ideal.

I read about it in the Evening Standard where a guy had observed such mice on the Victoria Line at Oxford Circus.
Not long after reading that I got quite excited when I spotted one at the Angel (I guessed it would have changed to the Northern Line at Kings Cross).
The question being, then, is this an evolutionary result and we are seeing a multiplication in stubby-tailed mice or just that they commonly get their tails accidentally amputated by leaving them on the rail or in some crevice between pieces of concrete or metal that closes up with the weight of the train when it goes by.
2. Again, relating to genuine underground-dwelling mice. They only come out at night-time. How do they know when night-time is? Circadian rythms? In mice that have never even seen daylight in their brief lives?
It's a puzzler.

| Quote ="El Barbudo"Not sure how far your research went but did it cover other vermin on the underground too?
In this case, mice.
Two things really ...
1. It was noticed in the early 1990's that many of the genuine underground mice (i.e. not mice on the 60% or so of the so-called underground that is actually above ground - [surprised? stick with RLFans.com, you learn all sorts) have only a short pink stub instead of a tail. I read about it in the Evening Standard where a guy had observed such mice on the Victoria Line at Oxford Circus.

Yes, i covered these subjects too.
1. The mice just found the price they were offered for their tails by Polish and Rumanian beef filler manufacturers too attractive to turn down.
2. No mystery. They get up when their alarm clocks go off, and they work nights cos there's no trains to run them over.

Hmm, well, I've seen them from as early as six in the evening, when there's still hours and hours before the trains knock off.
I guess they just have to risk it, to get in a full shift.

Those are mostly the mice on unpaid internships.

All the dogs & cats in the world wouldn't have killed more children than politicians.
Maybe we should eradicate those bastads first?

I'd guess none. But it appears Sally Cinnamon has tortured and killed at least one cat.
