Cats & Dogs....

Ok, where do I start…I ask you read this blog as neutral as possible, I appreciate the subject is sensitive, but we all have opinion and I thought I ask the questions below, without any intended upset, so please don’t have a go at me.

Let the grief begin!

This has been raised before - usually after the summer madness season when the place is really busy and attracts some less desirable custom. I have said it before, CDA is no place for pets, leave them at home or if you choose to live full time, forget pets as the properties are too small for dogs certainly.

You are dead right, it will be only a matter of time before someone is harmed by an animal in some way or other and the AGM should take a vote on this issue urgently. I am sure Milenuin will not want to be held liable in any way for an incident that they failed to control in a public area. JF

Some of the cats are domestic but most are feral and are being fed by some people which attracts them in. Surprise surprise they are now breeding and increasing in numbers.

When we were there in  the summer their mess was all over the grass where the children play and worse in the sand in the play areas. I saw a communication that Milenium were deailing with it in September but not sure how sucessful this was. It needs to be dealt with or it will become a problem.

Decathlon at Thader and El Corte Ingles both have a great selection of Air Rifles and Harpoons?

 You have just lost my vote for President   - Rat Catcher maybe!!!  as all the cats have gone!!  since we had cats there are no reports of mice or rats on garden , although  people leaving  food next to little bins are a bigger problem encouraging rats 

I'm more concerned about the humans and their behaviour than the behaviour of animals. At least animals do not poo in the pool, vomit all over the place when drunk, shout abuse, leave rubbish around and drive like nutters.

We've covered this topic before and animals cannot be banned and should not be as responsible owners do not cause problems. As you can tell I'm an animal lover and many owners bought on Condado so the whole family including the pets could have a break. You cannot tell people to leave their pets behind, you'll be asking them to leave their kids behind next as the apartments are too small for families. When some kids play in the gardens they cause a problem for the other residents by kicking footballs against hedges and breaking plants. They also leave toys out for you to trip over and enjoy screaming, but we have never asked for kids to be banned.  As far as I'm aware no-one has been injured by any animals on the resort so don't say what if that happened because it hasn't, and there are many benefits for having animals including keeping the rodent population down and providing extra security. I agree that we don't want to be overrun with animals, but we don't want to be overrun by badly behaved kids or irresponsible people either.

The answer is if you want a pet free resort then don't buy on here, can't wait to move over to Condado with my cats and dogs and see the reaction as my dogs are huge!!

Beebeetay, I am in favour of banning kids!

Especially the ones toting Lazer pens, buggers almost blind me!

Suddenly Condado is starting to appeal to me for the first time in 5 years!

Thanks everyone for your replies, both on here and via PM. Bee I don’t disagree with you entirely, but I think it’s important to keep things in perspective - you make some valid points and I'm sure all of us, as owners condone any inappropriate behaviour of any kind by residents or guests – but I equally  we don’t enjoy walking though the gardens to be barked viciously at by a dog, who’s clear intention is slightly more sinister than a child screaming as maybe it’s hungry, tired or  too hot .ECT….

Darren good to hear your witty comments again.

Mrblue - I have kept the blog focused with my comments, my comments are always totally focused.

Yes CDA is designed full time for pets as much as it is designed full time for people. The Spanish people tend to live in smaller houses than the Brits and many Spanish all over Spain have cats,dogs, birds etc and live in small apartments, it's the way of life over here and if you are not keen on that way of life then Spain is not the place for you.

How do you know that the dog's intentions are sinister what a silly comment, I think that the kids with the laser pens have more sinister intentions. There are several full time residents in Condado that have been here for several years who have pets who are part of their family and these are the very people who have worked hard to improve the resort so don't go upsetting the apple cart.

You are entitled to your comments as I am with my focused comments, but rather than stir up trouble report the culprits to the administrator if you have major concerns.

No more comments from me on this topic as this has already been covered in previous blogs but Darren please continue with your suggestions.
