And as has been said to you, the regulations do not mention dangerous dogs, it’s only the website in cork that inaccurately states that.

Piehead. Take great care not to post in this disrespectful style again. It is a requirement in this forum that if you disagree with others, you must be respectful towards them.
Thanks.

It’s the city council website.

Oh God such drama - fighting like cats & dogs!

OP - is the cat still at it??
Is it dead yet?
Have your neighbours cooped on to their cat care and border protection responsibilities yet?

Not much drama this week, they chased it out once I know of and didn't get close like they did the week before. Haven't seen the cat come as close to the house as before, it's always close to escape route.
None of the cat owners here keep them in, I don't know if it's possible to even keep a cat to your own property is it? It actually doesn't bother me with the cats that have cop on roaming, it's this one that has no cop on. Of course the one hit by car should be a lesson to them

Looks like something written by Alan Tobin.
Plenty of elected councillors spout nonsense and ill informed opinions. Seems like one is on the Cork Council.

Having a very similar issue in mu estates WhatsApp group. A owner of about 3 Cats is complaining about dogs, who live in the same row barking. Now we have a big wall that runs at the back of our gardens, her cats spend their days running along the walls. Driving the dogs mad. It's getting to the stage where dog owners cannot let their dogs out.

Surely cat owners should have the same responsibility as other pet owners to keep their animals under control and neusience free

Is there anything that can be sprayed on walls that repells cats ? I'm starting to worry that the cats will be poisoned.

Get a bit tub of cheap grease in a motor factors or agricultural co-op and smear it along some of the top of the wall. Thet will stop the cat walking on the wall!

As OP requested. This is the legislation which will be relevant to your issue in the worst case scenario:

Also relevant will be this:

http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1986/act/32/enacted/en/html

Under what legislation (other than animal cruelty) is a cat a "protected animal"?

Grease is toxic to cats as they try to clean it off themselves and then ingest it and advocating any form of cruelty to animals is not allowed in this forum.

Please don't post in this thread again.

Something like these will do the job

I am having a similar problem with my neighbours cat. They let their cat out to roam freely and it regularly comes into my private back garden where my dogs are.

If there is ever a confrontation between the cat and my dogs then I assume the cat and it's owners will be responsible. They are aware of the antics of their cat but they continue to let it roam freely every day.

Some of the comments here are absolute ludicrous. My dogs are already in a private controlled area and they are naturally territorial. I am not going to restrict my dogs freedom to explore their own garden because my neighbours cat is brazen enough to keep entering.

My neighbours cat has their own back garden too and that is where it should be confined to rather than letting it roam freely for everyone else to tolerate.

Furthermore, it doesn't make any difference how aggressive any dog is in this situation. When dogs are kept fully under control within the confines of their own private walled garden, should anything happen from their natural territorial instincts then whatever it has attacked shouldn't have entered.

The cat owners are fully aware of the dangers but they refuse to accept any responsibility like any right minded pet owner should.
