Young Kids like cats but the left overs are not too good for the kids. Lion poo pelets are kind of cheap but why not buy or visit one of the just for Christmas left overs and get a childs best friend, an asset to teaching responsability, loving, caring, friendlyness and loyalty so why not go out and get a Dog. The RSPCA will love you for giving a loving home to one of the unwanted whilst the cats will stay away from their natural enemy. Come to think of it the kids will have protection for life. My two dogs protect me my kids and my garden, They are great! and I am cat free even though the next door nabour has several

maybe because some of us feel it would be irresponsible to get a dog if we cannot be at home all day to look after it.
And why should I have to go to all the expense of owning a dog purely because I don't want other peoples pets cr@pping in my garden. The owners should be the ones incurring the expense to control their pets. The sooner legislation makes it offence a la dog fouling the better in my opinion.
