There is no justifying an punch to the cat, what he did was animal cruelty and he could be heavily fined for that.

I disagree Easy was protecting his bird thats all. I don't imagine Easy goes around Southwick punching Cats as a matter of course.

Cor blimey, what a hornets nest eh. I had no idea this would prompt such a DEBATE.

As I said, I would never actually go out and maim this cat. Of course I wouldnt shoot it with an air rifle or any such sort, or attempt to kill it. But what I WILL do is give it a hefty slap or a boot up its arse if I see it trying to get in (or actually IN) my house. Im hoping it \"got the hint\" (to use a familiar phrase) last night, so with any luck, I won;t see the thing trying to get in my house again.

And bollocks to the veiled threats about \"if that was MY cat Easy...\" Poke it up yer arse. I;d do the same regardless whos cat it is. I DON;T want it in my house, end of.

Hither (sometimes Thither)
Dogs are dumbarsed beggars without any sneak or charm. They're backward children you never really wanted in the first place, locked in drawers or uncleansed garages looking to be trained for feverish battle. Yes i like the idea of ones, dogs, that is, that steal from butchers, a chain of unerotic sausages sprawled in their salivating jaws, but, in general, they are simpletons.
Cats on the other hand are users, but seem that much more humane because of it, so a relationship of thievery and distrust evolves. I like them. And humming birds.

Easy, don't forget to post another humourous tale after that cat comes into your house, devours your stupid bird leaving just feathers and bird kidney on your living room carpet.

I guarantee I'd larf anyway. :thumbsup:

Using the "it's their nature" argument surely serves to justify what Easy did? It's his nature to protect his pet bird from being eaten by a cat.[/QUOTE

No because he's a human, we're supposed to have evolved and have intelligence. This could all be new to you though.

Just to confirm, if Easy's bird escapes, comes into my garden and eyes up my fish, I'm entitled to punch the bird and have a good laugh about it on the Internet?

Cor, it's a dog-eat-dog world innit?

True but you can\'t prosecute the cat for going after shut your windows easy just enough to stop the cat getting in.

the cat might be hungry tried feeding it?

I;m trying to do that with this window, but it kind of slips further open under its own weight. And I like having the door open in the summer to get some air in the house (its a west facing garden, so it gets EXTREMELY hot in my front room if all the doors and windows are closed). Thinking about it in practical terms, I think I might just have to lock the damn window up from now on and leave it like that, otherwise it just preys on my mind. I;m always around when the back door is open, so if it does make a rush to get in, I won\'t be far away to administer a boot up its arse.

As for feeding it - thats only going to encourage it to come round even more. And its not after the bird because its hungry anyway - its after the bird because its a cat.

I reckon you'd be well within your rights to crush it in your hand.

Easy, you are quite safe with all of the 'Do-gooders' preaching animal cruelty at you. You have no idea whether that cat is a stray or a next door's or whatever.

I absolutely ADORE cats, and have two of my own, but frankly, I understand what you are getting at. My cats consistently brings dead birds into the house that they have chased around - half killed and twitching - and as much as I know that they are bringing me a present, it's bloody annoying. And it freaks Mrs S73..!!

I will, however, temper your volatility somewhat by agreeing with previous suggestions about spraying water at them. They HATE it, and a far more likely to be put off by that than a punch in the stomach.

So as a result of evolution and intelligence, humans should watch their pets being eaten by unatural predators without intervening?

Congratulations on your snide gibe there, by the way. I bet your mother is really proud of you :thumbsup:

Some cats round my way try to get in our house sometimes, I tend to lurch at them and shout and they run away. Unless this cat is some kind of monster I'm sure it can be got rid of without a punch to the ribs.

There's no excuse to hit an animal I'm afraid.

its after the bird because you leave your windows open.
serious note here try putting some sort of grill/net up/or across at the window.
its a problem and one of the reasons we left Brighton was that we were forever getting dogs coming into our garden and at that time had a blind cat and she would just run into a corner.

So... what you're saying is that it is far more humane and considerate to cats to punch their lights out than to spray water at them?

I think that's what Easy had in mind.

No read it properly, I'm suggesting spraying water at them as more effective than punching them in the stomach.

Maybe the cats don;t have quite such an incentive to keep trying to get in your house though Chappers. I have a cheerful chirping cockatiel in the corner of my living room, which seems to have this one particular cat obsessed (I;ve kept birds for years but never had this problem occur before). Someone posted a picture of Tweety, and it really is turning out like a real-life Tweety and Sylvester episode.

Maybe I need a large black housemaid who can administer some THWACKS with her broom or something.
