Too many cats!

[savoyboy]

In short,there is no answer to this.

There are always answers...
one could move, or choose to get a dog and train it to chase cats out of garden, or look up cat deterrents such as ultrasonics or pepper etc.... The pump water pistols have also been suggested.
There are far bigger problems in the world.

You see this is at the heart of my question I suppose,why do expats get so worked up over the animals to the point of "if you don't like it stay away"
When we first started coming to Turkey there were very few cats,now there are loads of them and we encourage them by feeding,putting in one place,letting them into homes,gardens etc.
There is a great argument for a cull to prevent any suffering ,heartache ,extra work etc.
I just don't get it

"Move" - "Go back to the UK" - what on earth is that about?

The point that is being missed here is that it is illegal to euthanise a healthy animal.

I assume you mean in Turkey?

Is it?  If it is, then its never stopped various belediye in Istanbul doing it. 

Curiously, there doesn't seem to be the same infestation of stray animals there.  At least not in the areas I frequent.

Just saying like...

It's just wrong to euthanise any living thing.
The quality of life of a starving cat is much better than a dead one.

Sorry, but not sure I understand what you are saying here. Is it a joke - has it gone over my head?
