I am badly allergic to cats. I can go in a house where a cat has been and can't breath within about 15 minutes.

Yeah me too, one of my oldest friends in San Francisco (she is childless) owned 3 of them in her San Francisco apartment. "Hokum", "Aurora" and "Derek" (named after Derek of "Derek and the Dominos" in the famous rock band) I have been allergic to cats since childhood and 3 of them boyz in the same place at once had me sneezing like mad, I couldn't stop, I was in real distress. I have nothing against them though, and had a chance to get a really beautiful blue point Siamese one once. Someone told me yesterday though that it would have been ok because Siamese cats have fur -- not hair. Whether that is true I dunno.. But I think the hairless ones are ugly and creepy, they make me think of ET in that movie! :P |

As a kid mom always had at least 1 Siamese cat in our household. All were female. I remember from time to time the local resident tomcats would come around the house at night, howling up a storm looking for sweet kitty. Mom did not approve, and took to keeping a bucket of water with some ammonia added at a convenient 2nd floor window. When Tom began a howling, he was greeted with a bucketful of stinky water. I don't think any of the toms ever got substantially soaked with the concoction, but it sure seemed to discourage their desires to meet up with the sweet smelling felines of the household.

Do you have an animal control facility in your area? If so, give them a call. If not, rent a cage, grab the cat, toss him in it and drive up the road a ways. He now has a new home.
I've never been fond of shooting cats, but that's just my choice. |

So they turn to eating Garbage. The Cat I adopted that I found living In My Truck was also full of Pin Worms from eating garbage. I did use a Cage and relocate the Momma Cat of the other Stray Cats I adapted bacause She would attack My first Cat and also She was Pregnant again! I did not want any more Kittens born on My Property. However, Old Moma Cat was a die hard Alley Cat and knew enough about Hunting that Shee was feeded Her 4 Babies (the 4 Strays that I adopted). |
Coping with feral cats in San Francisco, one resident's story.
Quote:
But the cats loved to hop up onto the hoods that were very warm on cars that had just been parked in their assigned spaces (this was on Twin Peaks which often is VERY foggy, damp and windy). And the cats would tend to scratch the paint on the cars too when they jumped on and off of them as their claws dug into the cars for purchase. They were a REAL pestilence, made worse because people sometimes left food for them outside. which brought more and more of them. Sometimes, then, I'd open the 3rd floor bedroom window when I saw some of the cats, and lob fresh eggs from the refrigerator in the kitchen, down at them. Those eggs were eerily silent when I tossed them and picked up a LOT of speed when they went down 3 stories. * SPLAT * when they hit!!! They achieved TOTAL surprise, and they say a cat is one of the few animals that can act as fast as they think, and when a high speed egg hit the ground near them , BOY would they run quick. After some tries, considering the distance and wind, I got a lot better at it, and once I actually got a direct hit on the feral cat's back. from 3 stories up!! I doubt THAT one ever came back. |

I had bought some peppermint Oil and left the bottle on the bed and one of my Cats jumped up and I found out they hat that.
If I don't want the Cats to go near stuff a couple of drops of peppermint keeps them away but it is only good for a max of 4 days and that is inside of the house. Way before I owned any Cats of my own I never found the to be much of a bother. Considering the Dog $hit I have stepped nights I have woke up to the neighborhood Dogs crazy barking in the middle of the night I find Cats to be much less troublesome. Cats might walk all over your Car but Dogs piss on it. I have also never been on a walk and had a Cat barking and nipping at my Pants leg as I have with Dogs (Taco Bell type Dogs and those little dogs that look like an old school Mop Head with shot little legs). |

Cat Piss Smell
What a great old thread, thanx for bringing it back .
The drunken b8tch next door to me feeds the local feral cats and they come into _my_ yard to poop, they're killing a fair bit of my 60 + Y.O. St. Augustine grass, I won't shoot them and don't like to poison them, maybe I'll try the Cayenne (? SP ?) pepper . FWIW, I have dogs and flat refuse to let them roam out side my well fenced property . Other neighbors are feeding the coyotes and then complaining that snowball winds up as coyote lunch . They're unafraid of humans and walk the streets in broad daylight now . |
