Thread: Cats!

We have a BIG problem with wandering dogs here -- all over the place -- caught one in my back garden the other day -- I was spraying some plants at the time -- so it got a great face-full of "bug" spray -- and it does stink.. moved it on though. Keep on finding dog sh*t on the drive -- all neat and tidy curled up and has a point on the top so has to be hosed away -- If it is flat it probably means that it has been trodden on...
