But...I understand that cats are cats. They are different to dogs, I will never try to compare the two, but I will compare the responsibility of owners. Of course there are bad dog owners out there too, but as a general rule, the vast majority of dog owners do not allow their dogs to be out all day, getting up to all sorts on other peoples property.

There is another Bengal owner on the other forum who has herself said that she has erected a fence that keep the cats from getting out of her garden. She cannot trust them not to terrorise other peoples pets, so she had no choice and she thinks that this owner is being extremely selfish.

I would never want to see a cat destroyed...but I also don't think people should have to keep their food away, windows and doors shut etc just because cats are allowed to roam.
