Cats, and how to remove them.

I don’t love or hate them, the ignorant lumps of fur.
But, lately I’ve been finding CatPoo in my garden. Apart from being a mess, my children could get all sorts of diseases.

What deterrent / repellant actually works? Years ago I used some little brickette things which stank so much it ruined the aroma from the flowers! I’m not sure they worked anyway.

Do the half full bottles of water work?
What else does the cat lover / hater suggest?

I live near a Zoo, but I don’t think they will sell me Tiger/Lion/Jaguar Poo.

Although it would add a humourous tone to the thread, no suggestions of size 12 boot up the ar5e etc. please. 🙂

I am very superstitious about cats, if I see a black cat I always kick it for luck.

You need to sit it on your lap and say things like “So, Mr Bond, we meet again but this time you will not escape….”;)

HAHA!! 😀

Apologies but that deserved to be recognised, very funny :).

Wouldnt be without my two moggies. Disappointing that there are folks on this forum who would go out to deliberately injure or poison someone elses pet.

There’s obviously an opening in the market for Cat Pants.

Now, that’s the best suggestion so far.

Rocketeer
At the end of the day, they will poo where they like and will sadly eat wildlife….but please dont shooot them with anything (except perhaps a water pistol). I heard there was a sonic based deterrent?

Which is why some people are grumpy. I have made my thoughts clear in earlier posts about how the problem shoild be dealt with and shooting is not an option. The sonic based deterrents work for a while but eventually the cats get used to them and stand next to the, to us, virtually silent whistle or pulse. Unless you have responsible neighbours you will be stuck ( literrally ), with the poo.

My goodness a few grumpy people here!

A cautionary tale…..many moons ago an idiot swapped his .22 airpistol for the .22 air rifle with scope my brother owned so that he could improve accuracy…he aimed at a cat and was surprised when a shot between its eyes killed it….nasty and very sad.

I am not that keen on cats, though I can see why others love them…especially Anna’s and Elliot’s. Sure, I have a scotty who used (saying that word very quietly so I do not provoke remission!) eat cat and fox poo….it did annoy me and cause me to have many a chat with the boy….who just gave me the scotty ‘Me? Daddy’ look!

At the end of the day, they will poo where they like and will sadly eat wildlife….but please dont shooot them with anything (except perhaps a water pistol). I heard there was a sonic based deterrent?

Well now we have all leant something – it is “middle class types who obviously feel they are too important to carry out such duties”. So it’s just the aristocracy and the ‘umble working man, m’lud, who pick up poo, is it? What a load of of old er..poo!!

just wind em up and let em go!!!!!!

Here we go again…! :rolleyes:
If you must shoot at them, for God’s sake do it with a water gun – Far more humane, and the risk of being hauled up before the local beak has disappeared.

Question for all the cat haters – Which would you rather have?
Cats, or pigeons?
Pigeons and doves can be far more destructive. I speak from experience.

My eldest cat is an excellent hunter of pigeons, doves, rats & mice.

Elliott – That is one gorgeous kitty! 🙂
I have a black longhair who is as soft as ….!

spitfireman – My youngest cat Freddie (sadly no longer with us), used to enjoy sitting on my workbench watching my latest creation take shape.
He liked model railways too; he would often sit in the loft – on the tracks! – watching the trains go by.

Cats, and how to remove them.

If your car was registered after 1st August 1992 you must have the Cat present and working for the MoT. Previously registered cars can have the Cat permanently removed.

:p

Cat’s rock… You could be putting up some new shelves in the kitchen, a dog will watch loyally, not having a clue what’s going on, whilst a cat will take one look, think to itself ‘new bed !’ then proceed to take up residence in your armchair for the rest of the evening…:cool:

Is that your take on Jack Dee’s observation, or did he nick it from you….?;) Whichever it is so true.

I’ve been owned by a cat one way or another for 25 years or more, wouldn’t have it any other way.

So true! 🙂

No good throwing water over my cat, it’s a Maine Coon………loves it! She has a big bowl of it to splash around in – then jump on my lap when I’m reading a newspaper, usually destroying it in the process. Most of her soft toys end up in her bowl and once my Landrover immobiliser, watch, glasses, house keys, pens, elastic bands,her hair brush,invading Hornets, her Furbee, anything that takes her fancy.

I’ve been owned by a cat one way or another for 25 years or more, wouldn’t have it any other way.

I live miles out in the country in a sectioned off road/layby and have the honour of people bringing their dogs 7+ miles out of Newquay to poo outside my house without cleaning up after themselves. So I know how you feel!

Can I throw water over them?? (it’s a minefield out there:eek:)

Anyway, I’m with Daz here…….don’t shoot them.
