Hi Urban, you quoted a sentence from my post that already contained the answer to your question above. You see, no neighbour or anyone has ever complained that my cats had/have a dump in their garden. In fact, all my neighbours love both my cats. My first ever and the last cat was blatantly 'stolen' by my next door Mrs. H. What happened was that I went to work abroad for a month when Mrs. H. looked after her. But she started to feed Ms. Billi the cat in her own house thus hypnotised her. My other next doors Mrs. and Mr. V. looked after my cats recently when I was away. All my neighbours always stroke my cats with affection and rescue them from trees etc. So, I take their no complaint as a possible evidence that my cats don't poo in others' gardens. Just in case if they do, people don't complain. That's not to say that they do, though. There's not even a possible evidence that they do. So, I'll stay with my belief that they don't poo in others' gardens.

What it is that we have farms and open fields around us. It's possible that that's where they go for a dump. They spend a lot of time looking for birds and mice there, so that's a possibility.

Lol nine cats? How stereotypical of the cat lady!

Don't build a catapult. Just do something that's non-violent and innovative. I think as an Apple man, can't you sort something via your iPhone so that it senses the cat in your garden from miles away, and at the same time, you personally can go "woof, woof" to scare them off. You can always stick powerful Apple speakers in your garden to air your 'woof, woof'.

LOL honestly, get A cat, if not nine. You'll love it, Jack.

Fair enough, but......

I don't complain about my neighbour's cat coming into my garden to unload.
It does it, but I don't complain to him.

You see what I meant?

Indeed! Actually , I saw what you meant in advance before you elaborated in the post above^.

See my second post you quoted. I've already said in the final few lines of the first paragraph- "Just in case if they do, people don't complain. That's not to say that they do, though. There's not even a possible evidence that they do. So, I'll stay with my belief that they don't poo in others' gardens."

I also said- "What it is that we have farms and open fields around us. It's possible that that's where they go for a dump. They spend a lot of time looking for birds and mice there, so that's a possibility."

So they must have a dump somewhere, you know. They use their litter tray and our toilets for the purpose, but I think they quite like making other places fertile with their waste.

By the way, I'll have more than two cats if I could. I can't, therefore I have just the two. A friend of mine has six cats. They sit around you like Egyptian statues when you go to visit her. Dead cool.

We have two Siamese, or as I call them, House Rats. They are now ten years old and own the whole damn place including the fields that surround it.
A few issues;
Pee
Sick
Scratched furniture
Cat hairs
One craps in the tray, the other flings it out on the floor
Dead animals everywhere, or parts thereof at certain times of the year.
They include;
Rats
Bats
Rabbits
Moles
Voles
Mice
Snakes
Numerous birds including the occasional rare species. (They especially like Cirl Buntings) Wisely, they stay well away from our chickens however.
Other gripes;
You can't find them when you want to, and fall over them when you don't want to find them.
As a pair they attack other people's cats and dogs, even the owners sometimes if they are hanging on to said cat or dog screaming.
They know I don't really like them much, but they ignore the other occupants of the house and sit on me, digging their claws in when they finally let me get up.
Everybody thinks they are bloody marvellous, I tolerate them through gritted teeth.
I take consolation from the fact that their life span is shorter than ours. Although all of a sudden I'm not so sure..

To be honest, I'm pleasantly surprised to know that your Siamese sit on you, Alan. They must like you. To my knowledge that I've developed through talking with Siamese cats' slaves, they're the most unsociable and wild make of domestic cats. I know Serval and Savannah top them in wild nature and behaviour, but there're more adopted Siamese then Serval/Savannah in Britain, hence they're more noticed for their apathy and unfriendliness. I have two Siamese visitors. They have very harsh voice, they terrorise my cats and come only so slide to me to say Hi. As soon as I go to stroke them, they do one. As I say, they don't even give monkeys to their slave who has adopted them, so who am I to them, I know.

I have a complaint against one of my affectionate cats now. I don't know why our little fatty Lord Rubix loves messing with freshly painted on surfaces. He recently left his paw prints on a piece of furniture that I started to re-gloss. He also was found sleeping on a freshly painted canvas today, which was quite an ambitious one for me; in terms of imagery. He has left dents on it now. He also once walked on freshly laid tarmac on the road, and ended up with tarmac boots for a long time. All neighbours mocked him for all that time with the name 'fat cat with tarmac boots on'. Weird fascination that compels me to clean his pink chubby paws with sponge soaked in warm soapy water. How child-like they can be, sometimes.

Was a long night for Meg bless her, we were convinced there were three kittens and when number three didn't arrive we headed to the vet in the morning who was quite concerned - but we were all surprised by an USS that confirmed there was no third kitten!

Here they are


One day old



Around 10 days



10 days again, getting very big especially seeing as mum is around 7.5Kg



Around 4 weeks



About 6 weeks



And about a week ago



Both kittens are very large, but the larger of the two is going to be a monster. Still a little early to properly assess but both seem to be of good show potential, may be tough to decide who to let go to another home.

We have a house cat and we can be certain that she doesn't poo in others gardens as is a house cat. She is not allowed out. She doesn't make any effort to try and get out, I suppose that's because what she never had she never misses.
We change her litter tray every day. House does not smell of cat pee or cat food.

We wouldn't be without her.

WOW delightful news, Rich! Delivering babies is an ordeal for all mums. I remember one cat of mine who had such trouble during her second litter that I was praying to God for less pain for her. So pleased to know that all went well for the mummy cat and the kittens.

Both kittens look heart meltingly adorable! I'd keep the bigger kitten if I were you, but smaller one may have more of a personality to keep, and you will know that better in a next few days.

Congratulations to both you and Meg.
