Maybe if you'd trained it better then it would already be in a more considerate lifestyle anyway,which is not a dig at you just another way of justifying tighter controls over cats like there are with dogs.

So come on Olly where is your answer to the points I have raised in my post above (#1003) and you ajm?
Your assumptions about cats being exempt but no other animal is tosh. The plain and simple difference is a dog has to be kept on a lead. It can be kept on a lead because its easily trained to be on a lead to take for walks and its not cruel to do so. A cat can not be treated in the same manner and does not pose the same risks to the public in terms of biting/attacking people as dogs do so does not need to be kept on a lead.

The only solution is that you should get rid of your car or never use it.
Do you accept this responsibility?

I'm sorry if you really can't understand what I am trying to tell you, but what you are doing looks like deliberate and desperate attempts to pull us away from the issue in hand.

Thats fine Scooby Roo, may you then 'assume' someone will RTM your purile comments that bring nothing to the debate. I'm very relaxed btw as I'm sure a few more 'opinions' like yours will put this sad thread out its misery.
In fact, just go for it Scooby Roo, tell us how many other ways you can think of to kill domestic pets. Were all splitting our sides are you humour btw, so keep em coming m8.

juan is right, well i think i have got your point this time 
its not just cats & their owners who have to take responsibility, its everything in life. a noisy car, someone cutting you up, a neibours tree they cut down which they are intitled to do but will ruin your view, someones pants on the washingline you could do without having to look at when your sunbathing & you can see it wofting in the breeze....

As long as they are prepare to put lights on their bike at night and stop the noise of the chain clanking and the Whirring noise their tyres make on the road. Yes smilies!!! But seriously if my car or the way I drive my car was causing my neighbours concern and they brought it to my attention then I would seek to improve the situation. That's just common decency.

There are two ways to stop cats from littering (for want of a better expression)..
They are:
1. Keep it locked up in the home.
2. --edited to avoid potential further offence--
Benefits
For 1. You will have to clear up all the cat sh*t.
For 2. You wouldn't have to deal with 1.
Flame suit on an walks casually into the sunset
Another 50 pages please

I am usually at work then, the cats seem to save the noise to about 3am, and yes they make one hell of a racket thank you.

sure id be considerate with the whole car thing but its about the level of consideration for a particular concern. They all cant be addressed at the same level.
for a quick example :
im expecting to find none of you cutting me up when leaving the motorway at the 1 chevron mark and making me break hard!....

I think a lot of the agression has come about because there is nothing that people can do about cats. They are very difficult to identify, and taking a picture still won't tell you who the owner is, nor will catching the cat for those who don't put collars or visible id on. This fustration has lead some people to take action in to their own hands above and beyond the basic common sense harmless options that have been discussed. It is the "vigilante" element, people get tired of nothing being done and react. Again I am not condoning it, but I do understand it.
