A local cat-Caesar has resisted the turning tide of public sentiment regarding the responsibility of cat owners to protect native wildlife.
To that end “Commodore” as he’s known will not be building a “catio” nor will he be taking any reasonable steps to stop his cats hunting as they see fit.
Speaking to The Times, cat-Caesar says any native bird wanting to live peacefully can earn its freedom in the Colosseum he calls the surrounding area of his abode. Adding,
“I call this one local Dove Maximus because he has escaped the jaws of my cats many times. That’s a bird I’ll always give my thumbs up to – the other thousand odd? Weak, they dishonoured themselves”
This position has angered locals who claim that Commodore’s cats regularly shit in their lawns, hunt their chickens and wake them up at night with the sound of fighting.
We spoke to one strong opponent of Commodore who told The Times,
“My name is Daryl, father to a traumatised son, husband to a birdless wife, owner of a murdered cocky. I will have my vengeance in this life or the next. If that cunnova cat comes anywhere near my yard again I’m trapping it”
We can’t repeat the rest of Daryl’s threats as they are a bit too graphic. Needless to say, cats are causing quite the commotion in their neighbourhood.
Others in the FB group don’t want Commodore to change his ways, with one stating,
“I log on each day to be entertained, ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?”
Quite the situation.
