Pattaya recently announced regulations for pet owners to prevent disease transmission between stray animals and domestic pets due to the rising stray animal population.

 

The regulations are in accordance with the 2019 Dogs and Cats Raising or Releasing Ordinance, which states:

 

• The raising and releasing of dogs and cats are prohibited in every public area and on North Pattaya Road from Sukhumvit Road to the Dolphin roundabout (This doesn’t mean you can’t have a dog in or cat in this area but means you can’t release them here or have them in public).

You mean, why do they want to control strays around the area of City Hall?

 

That's anyone's guess ????

Shame they cannot destroy regulate the mangy soi dogs first

If only the authorities would enforce these rules & regulations, I whole heartedly agree that pets should be kept within their own property or on a lead if outside and this goes for dogs & cats.

This needs to apply to all of Pattaya and Jomtien. I live on Pratumnak hill and the stray street dogs are a nightmare. Killing friends cats, barking and fighting with each other and chasing motorcycles and cars. The city needs to get this controlled. I can’t even take my dog out for a walk without a big stick to keep those dogs away. And thank you kind people who do not live here but feel the need to feed and water them so they stay. ????

Just give them some entertainment!

Instead of putting the onus on owners of animals, why do they not get off their behinds and do something about the, quote, "rising stray animal population".

Also, bring out a civic ordinance to make it illegal to feed the strays, and enforce it.

Because the dirty things come and defecate in my garden instead of their own............

Cats never seem to be a problem.

 

I rarely see them.

 

They do keep mice and rats at bay at least.

I always thought that cats dig a hole to sh!t in, then cover it up.

Probably the most ridiculous thing I have ever read in my life

They don't have "their own" garden , they are cats not people

they do normally but they probably find the sun baked clay "challenging"  to dig

Beg to differ, some Cat owners designate areas for their pets, even build them their own homes etc. away from the main house. So they do very much have "their own" area etc.

Until relatively recently one very rarely saw cats in Thailand , however was a surge in popularity recently  which can  probably  be traced back to one or more of those moronic "internet idols" the novelty is wearing off now , these "trends" never last long so expect to see a lot of miserable  abandoned cats in the near future. There is probably a good argument for a nationwide cull of strays, but in my opinion the stray dogs pose a greater threat.  Pity they can't develop a disease like myxomatoses to deal with the problem

That is indeed a possible  solution,  a cat will always  prefer an area that is soft and easy to dig,  but to imply that cats recognise man made boundaries and defecate accordingly is clearly ludicrous, Dogs are a little different and will consider an enclosed area as their "own". but a cats territory  is often far larger than most can imagine

Perhaps you should establish what makes your garden so attractive to them, I have heard that spreading a bit of Rosemary around will repel them but not sure how effective it is , There also used to be some sort of ultrasonic device that was reputed to discourage them but again I;m not sure how effective it was, Failing that I believe Lion excrement keeps them away, so  a trip to the zoo might be in order, then again Lion excrement is probably worse than cat's

Common sense suggests that there should be some guidance regarding the maximum length of any leads that are required, but, unsurprisingly that has not been mentioned

You expect them to soil their own place?   ????
