Every other pet has to be contained on their owners property, yet cat's are allowed to be fed then let out to deposit excrement in neighbouring gardens; fight with neighbouring cats; yowl in the night; defecate in people's vegetable gardens, children's sand pits, on and on.
Is it not time those with cats had to obey the same laws of everyone else's pets?
I can only say: NO ONE loves your pet like you do. Keep it close, on your own property.
Again, I hope the cat in question recovers and is kept at home.

A fundraising campaign to raise $300,000 needed to complete the new themed space has been launched by Momentum Waikato, the region’s community foundation.
The design of the Medieval Garden will be based on the ruins of the St John of the Hermits Monastery in Sicily, made up of a ‘Cloister Garth’ for prayer and meditation and an ‘Apothecary Garden’ for growing medicinal herbs and healing plants.
Peter Sergel, the founding director and visionary designer of Hamilton Gardens, says each of its existing and planned gardens represents a major transformation point in history, with the Medieval Garden representing the spread of Christianity.
“Three particular aspects will be reflected in the Medieval Garden, one is the piety, study and prayer, second was protection and looking after strangers, and the third was superstition, particularly around geometry and maths and numbers.”
“The Medieval world has inspired all sorts of fiction, including science fiction films, because it was a strange brutal world with all sorts of magic and mystery,” says Sergel.
The monastery spaces of the Medieval Garden will ultimately be one of four gardens on site reflecting the philosophies of the world’s major religions, the others being Islam via the Indian Char Bagh Garden, Buddhism via the Japanese Garden, and Hinduism via the planned Vedic Garden.

A hairdresser’s first thoughts after a car smashed into the salon were of ‘my son’s nana’ - the salon owner who’d been right in its path.
