Cats pee

Rent a big nasty dog for a few days :-)

set a trap, catch it, remove collar (if it doesnt have one it ought to be considered feral anyway) and donate it for animal research! or shave a strip down the middle of its back as a hint.

Dont forget what happened to that family a couple of years back though, they caught the neighbours problem cat and put it in their neighbours wheely bin as a hint-not realizing they were away on holiday. I think they got prosecuted or sued.

Chilli Powder is good. Sprinkle it around where you don't want em. Can't say whether it affects Yota Paint though, OK for Nissans??

Dave
I think there is something called catnip , it is a liquiid that you can spray around

Have you tried the local council??
They may be able to speak to the owners on your behalf and if the matter doesn't improve, they may be able to take the matter further.

They used to pollute my front door and screen. I used neat Pine-o-Clean on the door, and that seemed to keep them from any further activity.
You could always electrify the wagon when it's parked at home. That deters all sorts of unwanted animals and persons. I found the technique worked well to keep cats out of a potted tree I had in which birds were nesting. And a similar device kept rats from my grape vine. Never actually saw any blackened animals apart from an unfortunate gecko, but had no problems after that! Not sure it was legal, tho. Certainly effective.
Good luck,
Gerry

Lead works!

Nothing wrong with cat traps that you can prob hire from your Local Council. Set it, trap the cat (it won't be harmed) and return the cat and the trap to the Council.

OR

Maybe take a photo of it on your truck, get a quote for the paint repair and send it to the owner of the cat with the quote and ask again, nicely for them to be a responsible pet owner.

Cheers
Scoey!

Put a couple of aspro clears into a bowl of milk and leave it where the cat will drink it. You shouldn't have a problem with it after that and there is no tell tale sign to point the finger back at you.

Hire or buy the trap, catch the cat, take it to the pound. That will cost the owner the release fee. They will soon get tired of paying after a couple of them. It is $75 in our area and we were pestered by two pedigree burmese, not any more! (and the cats still live LOL)

I had the same problem - in Karratha too.... Eventually someone dobbed the owner of the cat in to the ranger because she had about 7 of them (she was a SAFE anuimal carer) and they were doing the same thing to everyone in the street. The neighbour thought it was me that dobbed her in and wrote me an A4 typed letter explaining what a mongeral I am, that I had wrecked the one thing she had dedicated her life to, that her kids should never have to experience the pain of having their pets taken away, and all sorts of other wonderful things about me. She also said in the letter: "dont bother coming over to apologise, not that I think someone like you would". And I wasnt even the one who dobbed her in, and I had always been very nice to her!!!!!!! She then moved out because of it...
I suppose it solved the cat problem....
ps I still have the letter and read it every now and then when I am having a bad day - just for a laugh...

Another good deterrent is Claudie? of Ammonia

Dave,

Buy a pkt of Napthalene flakes from Supermarket. It has kept next doors cat off my paths and front steps for ages. If it pees again just scatter flakes, or as someone else said, A good does of lead.

Geoff.

12 gauge!! ;o)

goodday dave
there is a product normally kept in the snail bait areas in supermarkets and bunnings stores called keep off (we call it pi 77 off) it seems to work but dissappears when it rains and you have to put more out
i have used the aspro(we used a sleeping pill) and still laugh about it cat from next door to mother in law always using the pot plants so we set up the sleeper cat had a big drink anyway tried to climb the dividing fence managed to get to the top fell onto the owners side she found it took to the vet when she got home told the mil "somebody drugged the cat"lolololol

G'day Dave, have you ever considered that they can't swim?

G'day Dave,
I had a problem cat from next door that disgraced itself in and on my property all the time many years ago. In frustration I got a pump up water cannon (you can buy them in any toy store) and filled it up (about a litre) with the residue of a big jar of home made pickled onions which had chillies mixed in the vinegar (very HOT!!!). The next time I saw the cat, I gave it a liberal squirt of the liquid. It was hilarious watching it lick it off itself, a very long and painful exercise. I caught it one more time in my front garden and gave it a dose and it has never set foot (paw) in my place since (12 years ago). I'm sure if you soak squashed chillies in a litre of vinegar for a week or more, and strain it into a water canon you will have a sure fire cure for your cat problems.

Regards,
Peter.

What about red hot chili pepper paste? (Not the band!)

A dousing from a good water pistol will soon convince them that they need to be somewhere else. We use one to stop our own cats from doing things we do not want them to do!

I use Vicks Vapour rub works a treat, even use it in our lounge room to stop my WIFES CAT from clawing our lounge, I tried many boots up the clacker but that didnt deter it so have put the smallest amount around the corner edges and the cat will walk a metre around it cause of the smell. Might pay to put a bit here and there on the cruiser and caravan or the other thing to do is next time it s hits on your stuff put the crap in a plastic bag tie it up go to your neighbours and hand it to them and tell them next ime it s hits in your yard or anything you own it will be the cat in the bag next time. We are resposible cat owners I have made a cat run down the blind side of our house around 14 meters long. Made a frame from the fence up and over to the eaves covered it in bird wire, half is fully covered wall and all so it has plenty of dry area when locked outside it also has a cat flap to allow it to get into laundry if it feels threatened but cant go any further as we keep the laundry door shut internally while we are out other wise her movement and bodyheat sets of the house alarm . It is ilegal for the cat to roam out of the owners yard, now I know that is hard to implement BUT not your problem they have a responsibility. Last resort is as mentioned in other replys trap it take to neighbours and tell them next time it goes to the pound that way they no you are serious. I know we dont want to cause dramas with our neighbours but some times you need to say some thing I have had the same issue with my neighbour with his dog bleep all over the front of my garage door and brickwork. I have a rottie and shepard and neither of them bleep any where except the grass Im not putting up with some one elses animals doing it so I asked him to either keep it behind his gates or it gunna have a sore pair of knackers if I catch it. He now keeps it on a lead when it out the front so it doesnt roam the street and Im not spending my arvos using pino clean and yes we are great friends still. If they get the s hits with you then they have no consideration for you and not worth worrying about them anyway. Regards Steve M

Dave,

There's a stuff called "D-Ter" that I saw in local hardware.

You mix it with water, and spray it wherever it's needed. Wouldn't have a clue how, or if it works, but might be worth a try. Also good for birds like corellas, apparently???

but not as much fun as some of the other suggestions.

Also recommend a panadol dissolved in milk, should work.

Hooroo...

Cloudy Amonia is the go. Just spray it around areas you don't want the cat to 'visit'.

Dave, catch the cat, spray brightly coloured paint all over it's back (like fluro yellow), it may make the owners want to keep it inside. Maybe give it a bit of a shave in an obvious place or two.

Seriously, I don't think cats have any place in the Australian Outdoors. We don't let lions loose in the streets because they would kill. Domestic cats are killers whether we like to believe it or not. They should all be kept inside, or in an outside cat run. You are entitled to kill a cat trespassing on your property, provided it is humanely.

Gee this feline thread has lasted a lot longer than usual - David must be away or asleep!

Try one of these

I have almost fixed my cat problem, Cat number 3 is off to the pound today less his collar of course :)

Kev

high speed lead

try one of these...they are very quiet......hardly no noise at all....from both products

!MPG:5!

A can of sardines with some small holes punched in the top and left outside. It keeps the cat interested. On day five or six, when the sardies are nice and pongy, open the can. Salmonella will do the rest.

It worked for me when I had a cat terrorising my birds back in the 80's in Karratha.

Cheers,

Russ.

A pool of super glue on the bonnet. After your new mascot is adhered, stick a straightened wire coathanger in its rear end, cable tie its tail to it ,and youve got a furry sandflag with an audible warning siren.
Could add another one to the rear with 12 volts to it's privates wired to the reversing light, and have a reversing alarm as a matched set.

Who would have guessed I would have recieved so many wide and varied ways to stop a moggy having a pee................. some of which had me laughing so loud the missus came in to see what all the fuss was about.

How good is this forum site............MAGNIFICENT !!!!!!!

Thanks all for your serious and not so serious ways to help me ( and others who have this problem as well)

Cheers Dave.

Buy a toy water gun and fill it with ammonia and squirt the cat. Won't come back...

Apparently, if you catch one in a cake and you put it right behind the exhaust of an idling car with a blanket over it, it makes them REALY docile.
Also if you stir it up a lot in the cake then dunk it in a 44 filled with water it quiets them down also.
Apparently.
