Cat Manifesto: The key points


- Compulsory microchipping of owned cats


- A national database of cats entering the UK legally so those entering illegally without a rabies vaccination can be identified without delay


- Updating the DangerousDogs Act to allow prosecution of owners whose dogs attack cats


- Inclusion of animal welfare in the National Curriculum


- Clear labelling of flowers, plants and household products that are toxic to cats


- Outright ban on snares


- Stricter regulation on the ownership of air guns and crossbows

srlsy, I would like this to be a discussio


the CPL are off their faces, but some interesting points raised re animal welfare at skools at stuff - sadly I dont think cat owners really give a toss about conservation / welfare as the bigger picture( otherwise they would not own cats)


its coming across as a narrow self interest group trying to marshall support by hoying in a few triggers to garner non cat owning support. It is all so utterly transparent


discuss

There are animal lovers and there are cat lovers.


I'm an animal lover. Although I would never hurt a cat, I would never keep one and let it ouside. They kill too many things just for the fun of it than to satisfy their hunger.


I think big cats are beautiful but find it very hard to watch nature programmes where you see them killing their prey. But at least they are only doing it to survive.

That would be idiotic, they just need to be taught to listen properly when the labels are read out.

    • I have swum in it several times since it's reopened.  No problems.  The sand stuff is a bit off-putting but like all pools they'll have to test and log the water quality regularly so I think it's unlikely to be a health issue.  The water is clearer than a pool I use regularly near my work - also with no issues.
    • After looking through a few decorator recommendations on here and getting some quotes, I hired Kam to paint ceiling, walls, door, skirting etc in my hallway and bathroom. Really happy with the results and the experience with Kam. He is professional, friendly and polite: someone I was happy and comfortable to have in my home (I live on my own and this is not always the case) and implicitly trusted to be there when I was away. The price was reasonable, his communication was great and he was patient with some changes I wanted to make and willing to try painting tiled floors with a particular paint I found and worked meticulously to get a great finish with it and all aspects of the job.  He also went above and beyond to tidy up some painting jobs I'd done myself. Thoroughly recommend.   Kam: 07949507412 email: [email protected]
