http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/64576Make cat owners responsible
Responsible department: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Cats owners should be held responsible for anything their cat does whilst roaming. If a cat fouls on someone's property then the cat owner should be liable to foot any bill for the removal/cleaning of the waste and any deterrent.
If a cat damages any other property then its owner should be liable for those damages.
In addition cat owners who allow their cats to roam should provide by law a place for their cat to litter on their own property, not only indoors but in their own garden if they have one, a littering area.
Property owners should be allowed to take preventative action on their own property to be decided by government.
Cat owners who persistently fail to control their animals should be punished with worsening levels of severity, persistent repeat offenders should not be allowed to own a cat.
persistent repeat offenders should not be allowed to own a cat.
You don't really ever own a cat....
While we are at it can we have one about dog owners, and children owners and endless petitions. Thankfully they are not on paper anymore as that would be a complete waste of paper.
😆Cat owners who persistently fail to control their animals
Good luck with that..
Can we have one about starting pointless petitions online? I'd like that banned as well.
You are far too early with this thread,come back on April the 1st.
You don't really ever own a cat....
The cat that cohabits with us just turned up. It pays its way in rabbits and has taught the dog to catch birds though, so it's quite a responsible cat.
The solution is obvious - ban ownership of cats. And while we're at it - rather than legislate for cyclists to get "road tax" and insurance why don't we just ban cycling.
In fact ban everything that is a irritation to a minority of people - the world will be much better place if everything we do is tightly controlled by regulation, strongly policed and every irritation is criminalised.
oh the utopia where we can rest smugly in our armchairs reading our mid-market tabloids looking out through our lace curtains at streets empty of cats, bikes and noisy children
I've broken my collarbone and it hurts to laugh. I'm avoiding sites like the daily mash and the Mail to save being in pain. Folk here are generally good with a spoiler tag for sports and film related stuff, can we not have one for funny stuff like this too?
Why is the onus on me to clear all the cat shit up, why should I have to buy every electrical gadget to make them try and stop?
The time to take a realistic approach to fouling has arrived. People don't have to breathe in other people's cigarette smoke anymore, dog owners can be fined.
Just because cat owners have been oblivious to the problems they cause doesn't mean we have to put up with it anymore.
Let's say it's no longer acceptable and deal with this problem.
I am aware that cat owners are the most easily riled people on the planet. Take responsibility. Please.
PS if you don't agree don't sign it. Go and start a thread asking for greater powers to let your kids shit in my garden as well.
What a load of cat 5hit

or lets not...

I think you will find it's the owners of small shops . 🙂
Or Scottish people hell bent on using the pound 🙂
C.F.M.R.C.O? Doesn't even spell something rude.
My theory about cats is that they evolved beyond human beings, realised we're a bunch of mugs and that if they acted a bit dumb and looked cute, they'd be able to get away with being fed and kept by us without them having to do anything themselves anymore.
Smart creatures 🙂
I have just started an E-petition for the size of holes in Swiss cheese to be regulated.

Wrong one!
Parents should be required to proactively monitor their child, and it should be a criminal offence to allow an under-16 unrestricted access to the internet, through a personal computer, tablet, mobile phone or any other device capable of doing so.
and as a former under 16 year old boy there is no way I'd be for that one!
Haggis, I won't sign .No problem with the holes it's the cheese that's rubbish.
I think that in law cats are known as 'free agents' or somesuch but dogs are not. Therefore if your dog causes a traffic accident, for example, you are held responsible for it. If your cat does then you are not held responsible.
I might start a petition to have miserable jeb ends who don't like cats fired in a rocket at the sun!

I think the likelyhood of anything other than the cat coming off second-best is highly unlikely.
What is needed is one of these:

Good for human interlopers too.

It's much easier just to use a neighbor's lawn.

Just as I feared the reach of The Catterati is long. Any mention of dissent towards our shape shifting overlords and a well oiled machine of outraged cat lovers springs into action.
We know who you are now and one day in the future when this darkness has been banished from our land a few of us will be able to say , 'Yes,I was there, I took a stand."
ps it's not my petition, merely one I strongly agree with.
It's hardly a 'campaign' though is it?
It's a half arsed link to a petition that nobody other than those who signed it will care about....
How would you even prove what cat shat on your lawn and who owned it?
Oh sorry, I apologise for trying to apply logic.
12 signatures so far. It's not going well is it?
He shouts at the birds that shit on his car & shakes his fist at the aeroplanes too!
Who gets the job of herding them up, sounds like a contract for group4.
Who do I complain to about birds crapping on my car?
Who's responsible for foxes pooling in my garden?
Is the council obliged to clean the trails left by slugs on my patio?

Our Lord Jesus Christ also had 12 followers. Also he was mocked and derided by misguided fools.
But He forgave them as I forgive you.
They gave Him a crown of thorns you gave me a garden full of shit.
Please sign this if you agree.
I don't understand why even the most sour faced individuals would agree with that.
And I don't even like the evil, feral things!
Why is the onus on me to clear all the cat shit up, why should I have to buy every electrical gadget to make them try and stop?
You could consider it Troll Tax?
My cat doesn't own anything - therefore he has nothing to take responsibility for.
God I hate cats with a passion I truly plan murder every time I have to dig their shit out of my veg beds . Unhygienic psychopathic faithless killing machines if they were human they would be in secure units or prison . but there is no way I'd sign that stupid petition . I assume the OP is just having a laugh or Troll.
Get yourself a dog. The cat up the road with half an ear missing won't be shitting in my garden again anytime soon 😈
Nah! Let's have a petition to ban dogs who bark loudly at cyclists, causing them to fall off their bikes and look like berks in front of a pub garden full of people.
Clearly the OP will be paying for all the erosion he cause while out cycling offroad, on private land, as he would be responsible for the cost of re-instatement and repairs, no?
I ride on public rights of way and my taxes pay for their repair to whatever minimal damage I cause.
A better analogy would be me doing burn outs on my neighbour's lawn and telling them to suck it up as that's what motorbikists do and it's just part of life.
I'm gonna give it a go, I'm gonna train my cats and be a responsible cat owner,
Right after I've finished training my goldfish to sit and fetch...
I sympathise with you 100% zippykona but an e-petition isn't going to make any difference, one of my neighbours has 7 cats - she used to have 9 but 2 are now missing, prob something to do with the amount of shite they leave in folks gardens and veg beds around here - all the neighbours are really pissed off.
It's quite easy to go cat fishing as all you need is a suitable mesh net stretched out across the area that you wish to protect from shite and then it's just a waiting game, eventually you'll hear a wailing and then you go and see what you've caught - I caught a few and word must get around - they don't like it and before long they'll stay clear of your garden, doesn't hurt the cats and they soon get the message but removing them from the net can be tricky.
Failing that get a Jack Russell that likes to hide out of site till the cats come right into the garden before launching an attack - who knew cats could jump 6ft and cling onto a roughcast wall?, remarkable creatures indeed!.
My neighbour, who had completely had enough of the 5 cats from the property opposite shitting in his gravel drive, decided to soak some cat food in anti freeze and leave it in a bowl under his car. Unfortunately he got my 5 month old cat who had just started to venture beyond our garden gate.
It was a very traumatic end to his short life.
