Fingerbuster, a man after my own heart!

LH and others, if cats were wild animals in the same way as birds, rats, mice or squirrels, then fair enough. If the animal breeds and lives in the wild, then OK. But this is simply not the case. Cats are bought by humans, and are released by humans in the certain knowledge that they will foul neighbouring gardens.

The cats probably don't even like it too much themselves after a while, because they have to all go in a very limited area...and that gets messy fast.

In other words, you've just told us that A CAT IS NOT SUITED TO LIVING IN A TOWN! So it is therefore not acceptable for anyone living in a town to buy a cat and release it to run around the town. If you want to own a cat (or any kind of pet), keep it confined to your property and exercise it under your control. There is no difference between letting a cat run free and you yourself literally throwing the shit over the fence into your neighbour's garden. In both cases, you are actively making a decision to foul your neighbour's garden with cat shit.
