And please, don't get me started on Xmas being earlier in the shops each year.
It is one of my bugbears.

As far as I am concerned, any Xmas related gripe should get an automatic pass straight through to the black hole on the other side of 101.

People who feed urban foxes.

At 3am this morning I was running (ok trundling) barefoot down our street in my nightdress, armed with an umbrella, driving 2 urban foxes off the neighbour's cat they had cornered in our front garden. They were hunting in a pincer movement.

The noise was indescribable.

Luckily they ran, leaving me trying to catch a hysterical cat to check for injuries.
Unluckily, it limped off, but I think I know where it lives, so can find out how it is.

There's a woman down our street who leaves out bread and milk for hedgehogs (doesn't that upset their stomachs?)
Dogfood for foxes (the fox population is exploding)
And cat food for cats (none of whom are strays, so they all get fed at home)

So really the silly mare is actually feeding the foxes twice; tinned food and live prey.
:banghead:

And I got so little sleep (adrenalin, exercise and sheer anger) that my fasting BG is now 11 (usually 6.5 ish) and I got about 3 hrs sleep.

So I'm taking today as annual leave and will spend half if it asleep.

Yes, foxes stink. They are sneaky evil beasts that will kill for the sake of it, not just for food. A bit like some humans. The crazy feeding woman needs to be chastised by the MILs in 101 ante room.

I would add to fox feeders, grey squirrel feeders. Grey squirrels are nasty alien critters that destroy habitat of natural species. They also bite the heads off baby birds.

All Fireworks and the people who buy them and let them off, my poor old girl is scared rigid every year and I worry that this year it will be too much for her even though she has tablets to help, I am reluctant to keep her dosed up for the week but will have to do so otherwise she will spend the week scared and that's not fair.

Firework setter offers most definitely. Especially the halfwits that use the very load ones, every day for a month. I would insert large rockets in their rear ends and put them into orbit. They have no consideration for man nor beast.

Don't like cats. \]<*<* things alway using the garden as a toilet. Fighting at silly o'clock waking the street. If you own a cat then be responsible for it. :mad:

Oh dear, I am agreeing with this one too. My neighbours cat uses my fence as a scratching post and is tearing it to pieces and I am fed up with grabbing handfuls of it's mess when I am gardening !!!

I try to be tolerant of other people's cats, but I would not have one in my house. One minute they are pooing in the garden, or worse in a litter tray in the house. Then they are scratching about in their excrement, and then they walk along the kitchen work top where food is prepared.

I have a bit of an obsession about germs around my food.

I hate the way cats come creeping around your legs too as if they are trying to trip you up.

Don't think they should go in 101 though. Just the cat owners who think that everyone should love their moggies.
