Next doors cat keeps jumping in through my bedroom window at night. It then runs downstairs and tries to get back out through my kitchen window.

My kitchen window is not open, so the bloody thing runs around in a panic. So far it has knocked two plant pots off the windowsill and has woken me up about a million times.

I told next door. They sort of shrugged and indicated that they couldn’t really do anything.

I like having my bedroom window open. I love cats. I quite like my neighbours - although the man is a bit mean to the woman, but that’s a separate issue. I also like sleeping.

Argh.

cry pitifully for food, Eat a load of food, promptly puke it all up. I hate love my cats, honest.

Simple solution - put a screen on your window - stops cats, bugs and other things coming in. Google “Flat Cats” screens. Made in uk for fair price. (no interest other than satisfied customer).

Could not get through summer without the screens. In winter we take them down, fold and store.

Second flatcats, keeps mine in but would keep others out, lets breeze in but keeps out insects, not cheap but fab.

Grin it just fancied the more conventional entrance!! Flatcat screens will not help you if it starts arriving through the door!!!
My neighbour's cat even has his 'own' seat in my back garden.

I give in.

CFcat jumped IN through the kitchen window this afternoon, miaowed at me - I swear it was saying “there! See! That’s how the window needs to be!” In a cheery but faintly patronising voice.

Then it stretched out on the (nw empty because my plantpots are broken) window sill.

I have a "not my cat". In fact often I have two.

He knows my car and runs down the pavement to greet me every night and manages to get in through my door whilst I am struggling with my work stuff.

I shunt him out the back door every time, but not before he manages a mouth of cat biscuits en route. He obviously thinks that the pay off of a few measly Aldi cat biscuits is worth waiting around for me for hours!!

My cats have just taken to ignoring him like a bad smell...

My dad awoke from a nap on the sofa to find next doors cat asleep on his chest. The cat then gave birth to a litter of 5 kittens & never left Grin

My cats love tin foil balls and orange juice Shock but they aren't normal cats.
Can open an internal door to pull it open but not push Confused

Op you now have time share in a cat. Your house is now his house and he's letting you live there.
I like the betting idea.

Loan a small terrier dog for a week

I have just the dog for you. She believes that cats are the work of the devil and it is her mission to rid the world of their evil. Cats are terrified of her.

And she's very good with children.

Bluelonerose · 31/05/2018 20:55

Netting not betting.

Butterfly1066 · 31/05/2018 21:06

I m following this because I love the Ops way with words cheery but faintly patronising. Love it !

Over the weekend we had a cracking thunderstorm and DH and I sat up in bed with the windows and curtains open watching it. Neighbour texted at 2.20am to sternly state "this is NOT MY CAT" with a photo attached of DEFINITELY MY CAT sat at the bottom of his bed washing his nether region merrily whilst sheltering from the storm. Apparently he has taken a shine to climbing in through their bedroom window and curling up on whichever bed he feels is that day's favourite. I've directed NDN to this thread and suggested he wrap his whole house in tinfoil til the ridiculous cat cops on to the idea that not everyone in the world wants to see him wash his nutsack on the eiderdown.

RainbowGlitterFairy · 31/05/2018 21:19

My dog says he'll happily rid you of your cat problem if he can sleep on the bed. He's definitely not a little terrier, more a huge wolfhound cross so you would be a bit squished but he has discovered there is no need to bark at cats, he just walks up, sniffs their bum and licks them and they march off in disgust Grin

SmileEachDay · 31/05/2018 21:46

Woah.

I need to ask CFucker Cat if it’s ok to also have a Wolfhound...

And a terrier.

And some junk modelling on the windowsill.

I have four notmycats. They are Fighty Cat, Poo Cat, Tabzilla and Gingerpuss. Honestly, sometimes I feel like my garden isn’t my own Grin.
