THE OWNERS ARE REALLY TO BLAME

 

 

THE OWNERS ARE REALLY TO BLAME

 

They only ever come to man

for food which he puts down ;

remove the food and it isn’t long

before the cat is not around.

 

Stalking out in hunting mood,

without due reason - just for fun,

attacking wild and innocent birds

killing each and every one.

 

Waking sleepers in the night

with wailing voices on the prowl

attacking bins and rubbish bags

and spreading refuse rank and foul.

 

Defiling gardens and public lawns

where people walk and children play.

Anti-socially roaming free

throughout the night, throughout the day.

 

Owners of dogs are responsible

for the dog poo left behind

so why do cat owners get off scot free

whilst owners of dogs are fined?

 

Dog owners take their pets on leads

and cats should be treated the same

so perhaps we shouldn’t denounce the cats

‘cos their owners are really to blame.
