Thanks Martin. I can't read Facebook links as I don't subscribe. Hopefully the OP will be able to make contact and the Council will take it from there. They have signs that they might erect in the area. At least with the neutering programme you don't have the terrible catawauling in breeding season.

Yes thanks Martin. Bee i will most certainly speak with the Guardamar Ayuntamiento to see if they have a neutering programme. Maybe they can also tell me who the person is, that is if they are a registered person & i will look into getting signs erected in the area.
Once again thanks all for your (mostly) helpful replies.
Regards,
Dave.

The more you feed, the more they breed. That’s what the police told me when they caught me feeding the cats on the breakwater in Guardamar, some years ago.

Ok the feral cats may keep down some vermin but they also kill song birds and the Greco that kill mozzies, take your pick.

Yesterday a kitchen was sitting on our wall with a neighbour, and our dog got hold of it and the mother cat came along to help it's young one. I had a hell of a job to get hold of and protect the dog in a difficult place to get at. The cats meant business and I was scared they would scratch the dogs eyes, possibly blinding her.
Cats wandering around the roads and coming into gardens are a menace to dog owners. You dare not let your dog sniff in bushes along the road in case a cat is lurking.
Feeding feral cats is illegal, and rightly so. Why can cat owners let their cats roam anywhere without sanction. If I let my dog roam the roads I would be fined €200 a time, and the same if she were not chipped. Why do we have to put up with roaming cats un-chipped cats where there is no sanction?
I emphasise, I am an animal lover, I would not hurt any animal, including cats, but I want them controlled. To balance this I should add that similarly, I get very annoyed when I see people in the El Recorral park with dogs not on leads, and the same along the roads.

Christ you must be very posh if you've got a kitchen sitting on your garden wall

Its not illegal to feed feral cats, only illegal in public places, unless you have a licence, not within your own land boundary or any others if they agree

Why did you let your dog get hold of the kitten, is it a vicous dog?
Prehaps people should control there dogs!
