I'm not saying all ginger cats are troublesome obviously. I love ginger cats. I am ginger myself.
We've moved to a house which is perfect for cats after renting for eight years. Finally our gorgeous girl has somewhere nice to roam around, sniffing flowers, swatting flies, sitting on flower pots, that kind of thing. Unfortunately it's the most popular place for cats in the world. None of them seem actually aggressive, but they have had the run of the garden too long and think it's theirs. I'm too fond of cats to scare them too much.
However one in particular is interested in the house. We put a cat flap in the other day. It's like a honey pot attracting an unusually persistent bee. I'm fed up of the yowling and hissing at 5am when our girl is this side of the cat flap and we can see an interested ginger face peering in. Yesterday AND today I found the Iams on the floor ripped open and scattered everywhere, which she has never done in her life. Today I just got home to hear angry cat noises upstairs and the furry little bastard was on the bed! Ours was one the window sill being angrily ineffective "This is MY house :( " It was quite funny chasing it and roaring through the house watching its little ginger legs skidding and skittering all over the wooden floors . It's a cute little thing, but I don't want it in the house.
Can't have a magnetic collar - the last time we tried a collar she almost strangled herself trying to get it off and the resultant sores got infected. We're just going to have to lock the cat flap when we go out, but this means she can't go out in the garden.
Grrrrrr. Just moaning really. I love cats but they're pushing their luck.
