Anyway I would shoot you too if you pissed in my house.

FFS where is QueenEagle when I need her. If anyone sees her can they point her to this thread please?

olliebird · 03/04/2007 23:38

big water pistol, filled with sugary juice, get kids to go on watch. I have not tried as a bit cruel but have been told to do this. One person I know grabbed the cat, put it into shower and peed on it. He had a theory why this would work and says it did.
good luck

She has a big gun, which blows the cats head off dontcha know.

KerrysMum, I agree, but I am too lazy to be emptying litter trays. One day my cats will die, I will be able to replace the double glazed panel, yes double glazed with a fucking cat flap, I know.

But when they do, wo betide any fucking cat that comes in my garden.

I have this problem of cats in my garden. I've tried pepper, oranges, pellet things that are meant to deter them, spray to deter them, nothing works!

A few weeks ago I cut down our roses at the front of the house and I put all the nice spiky rose cuttings over all the areas of poo in the back garden.

Went out yesterday to cut the grass and when I lifted the rose cuttings there was no poo and there was also no poo anywhere else in the garden. So hopefully this has put them off but I'm going to buy one of those high pitched deterrents as well for the summer just in case.

I also tried water pistols but since our garden seemed to be mainly visited at nights it was pretty impossible to catch them at it.

Sorry did I tell you that are not my cats, they belong to DH.

For a start, those plastic balls are dangerous and can very easily pierce the skin or damage cats eyes, which is painfull and costs thousands of pounds to fix. You obviously dont give a toss. People like you shouldnt have animals! Believe me If I saw you shoooting 'plastic balls' at my cat I would do a lot worse than shoot you!
You view and behaviour is appalling!
Do you have any other pets? Do you shoot them too?
What would happen if a neighbour threw a stone at your cat and took its eye out? Would that be ok because you said they can throw stones?
Ever heard of RSPCA?!!

OH I hate the bloody cats that come & shit in my garden, if I wanted a lawn full of shit I'd buy my own bloody cat.
I feel calmer now i've got that off my chest... citrus works for a short while, squeeze loads of old lemons/oranges over the lawn.. neighbours think you have gone mad, the garden smells lovely & the cats don't like it.

ucm · 03/04/2007 23:49

One of them shits in the bath, the other shits on my strawberry patch. I have watched them do it. They have both been done, so are pathetically scared of coming out of our garden.

dionnelorraine · 03/04/2007 23:51

Olliebird - 'the person you know' is a discusting pig, and cruel. Cats dont have that kind of self awareness to know where they can or cant pee ffs. This is ridiculous!

ucm · 03/04/2007 23:52

DionneLorraine, alot of this was said tongue in cheek, of course I wouldn't kill/maim an animal, but I would if it was the tom cat that pisses in my house. Kill it-I WOULD ROAST THE FUCKER SLOWLY AND EAT IT.

What kind of person gets exercised by a cat peering in through their window.

On the subject of poo in gardens, I noticed in my garden the other day that there was soil and mud. DS isn't going out in it til the Government clears it up for me.

If you have a garden it is an unfortunate fact that you have to accept that cats will enter it. Everyone has the same problem, but most deal with it in a humane way! The best wayis an ultrasonic cat deterer. And no id doesnt affect dogs. It is kinder than other suggestions on this thread!!

Well its good to know that some people think that animal cruelty is a joke!
Not so long ago a cat came into the vets and had a small pellet wedged in to its eye. The damage was so bad the cat lost his eye. The vet bill was around £3000 after tests, xrays ant treatment was completed. I dont think that would be funny if it was your cat.

Dionnelorraine...This thread is lighthearted as someone else said, said in jest.

Don't take it so seriously, i have 2 cats myself and love them dearly but find this thread amusing.

bellabelly · 04/04/2007 00:03

I don't know how anyone can be cruel to animals and then try to justify it "well, it was making a mess of my garden..." etc. Poor defenceless things

dionnelorraine · 04/04/2007 00:04

Yeah I dont mind joking around, but the whole airgun thing really got my back up. Being a vet nurse I see the horrible side of things, things that other people just dont think about and it really bugs me.
