The point about Cats damaging the environment is not "oh we've made it already so the damage is done" its the fact that used ones have to be disposed of and new ones made to replace the old ones: the life of cats is not indefinite nor is it that long on typical motorcycle cats which is one of the reasons I want to look at removing my cat before it becomes an issue.

As for the government says we need one so it must be true line: ARE YOU MAD?
This would be the same government that told us Saddam Hussein could launch biological weapons at us within 30 mins would it?

As it happens I do know quite a bit about the advice that was given to our government and the EEC concerning cats, the environment and vehicular emissions. The commissioned white papers recommended that cats were not introduced as the net effect is massively detrimental but they were introduced anyway.

I'm sorry you suffer from asthma but its got sod all to do with me. As Kaw says its an allergic reaction to particulate ingestion: which isn't what a cat is designed to help with. Cancer on the other hand due to partially burnt hydrocarbons is which is why Cats are such a terrible idea given that cadmium ingestion pretty much guarantees the subject will die of either nervous system degradation or cancer.

If you don't believe me (and this is the wierdest thing) you will find all the information you need on the government websites.
