I MUST add my views on the debate going on about filthy cats.

I have studied the behavour of cats over the years and have come to the conclusion that you cannot control them.

Anything you buy is a waste of money, they will visit your garden and once they have made their mark, nothing will stop them.

As for the theory that a cat will bury its diposit is quite right, but once it as established its teritory it will leave it on top of the ground where it becomes a mess and can be a cause of alarm to children and parents.

The only way to overcome this problem is to put it in a bag and dump it in the owner's garden. See if they like it.

Happy cat watching.
