[Closed] Cat Killer of Croydon

It's a cat owner thing. Don't you know that letting your cat wander about and shit in folks gardens is a fundamental human right? See, it's your fault for having a garden in the first place.

But dog owners on the other hand...

I like our neighbours cats but they decimated the birds and other wildlife I spent time attracting to our garden (especially George who killed all the frogs), dug up most of my plants and filled the garden with cr*p, scratched my car and my van to bits and keep knocking the planters off my windowsill whilst cr*pping in the planters on the floor.

I've given up to be honest, don't feed the birds anymore, am getting rid of the flower beds and covering all the garden in stone chip as well as filling in the pond and putting chippings over that as well.

Surely if 'domestic' cats are incapable of being trained not to defecate on other people's property or kill wild creatures, they're not suitable as pets?

A good point well made in my unbiased opinion.

Doesn't help with so many attracting birds into their gardens. Though I have a feeder myself on a roof terrace and local cat used to find its way up and then just sit there watching the feeder. It never managed to catch any.

They are good for pest control. That's why farmers keep outdoor farm cats.

As for killing birds, well that's natural selection for you. The birds need to up their game to survive 😉

Or the cats do if they're going to avoid the Croydon killer 🙂

so the cat killer is now moved onto moggies in SE19 and there were 3 killed a minutes walk from me the other night 😯
i hope they don’t slaughter the very popular ‘gipsy hill cat’ that frequents the station and sits on the oyster reader

Would cat owners mind if their neighbours returned their cat poo by lobbing it over the fence? I used to do that as I had a small garden and lived next door to 5 cats.

I'd make sure they appreciated you returning it by popping it through their letter box.

It definitely never ever is their cat, it's someone else's.

Ah, a copycat killer.

I hear the militant wing of the RSPB can use nasty methods

Surely we'd be overrun by birds if it wasn't for cats? Mao wasn't keen on the birds.

Mao killed the birds and the insects flourished as the crops were decimated.

i want to know what beans they are using first. strictly no instant or nespresso.

When whoever it is get's caught they will need to go into hiding from PETA

I wasn't aware Mrs Cavendish was a violent cat lover?

Why? whatever they are doing is small fry compared to the amount of healthy animals PETA put down every year.

Scotroutes, I was being faecesious, I'm a dog person 😉

For gods sake don't do this, I had loads of trouble with cat $hit on my chippings driveway, it only stopped after I got it paved.

Do not use gravel!! Local cats love shitting on my gravel driveway and after the umpteenth time of standing in recycled whiskers at 530 in the morning and only noticing when the cars heater warms the shit I've mushed into the carpet. In my head I wanted to staple the neighbours cats to the fence. Luckily (for them) I'm not a killer and manage to resist the urge to run them over when I see them and have spent a couple of hundred pounds on repellents instead.

What we British people forget is that we are amongst the few in the world who actually like cats and welcome them in the house. In most other countries in the world cats are vermin as well as dogs and killing them is just an act of removing a nuisance. So my money is on somebody new to Britain who has moved in and is either terrified of cats or sees them as a scourge as we would see rats running around in broad daylight, and is doing what seems right to them with perhaps an element of black magic or juju thrown into the mix to explain the ritualistic nature of the killings.

Years back when we were backpacking around Europe we hooked up with some Canadians.
One of them was freshly arrived from Vietnam and would tell everyone very proudly that he was canadian.
Cooking breakfast one morning a cat was sniffing around. He grabbed the cat by the neck and threw it up a tree.
Even I was open mouthed.
I guess you can take the man out of Vietnam ..etc.

Is throwing it up a tree code for cutting it's head off and dismembering it?

..and that children, is where the word catapulted comes from.

Amazing that somehow immigrants are automatically to blame for this

Describing something as vermin just removes any moral qualms about you killing it.

Try looking at the world from the "vemin's" point of view.

In most other countries in the world cats are vermin...

Pretty sweeping statement...it's worth remembering what Mohammed was supposed to have written about cats in the eighth century. One billion Muslims would've been taught that it's better to go cold than to disturb a cat sleeping on one's cloak.

What disturbs me about this thread is that there seems to be a few posters unable to understand that killing and dismembering someone's pet is not justified by having unwelcome cats in their garden.

The Cat killer of Croydon is about to be discussed on the Jeremy Vine show.

Anyone going to call in?

I think they've moved to Brum, I would personally and quite happily pop and arrow into the head of the f***er responsible for this.

No.

Sky have knocked up a quick eerie music video on this now.
