Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Danielle  I have a special way of running a stray cat off. I love cats but I can't have one any longer - my husband is allergic. So, when one comes around, I get all excited-hoping to pet it. I stand outside and say " Here Kitty Kitty " and try to get it to come to me. Well, those cats just take one look at me and go running off - never to be seen from again! Maybe they think I am animal control. It happened to me just  last week with a cat outside my back door.

There is a tomcat that roams my yard; he is a bother in that he howls in the middle of the night, poops in my yard, and sprays my stuff. He is messing up my newly planted garden. And my garden, well is like my sactuary. I'm like a " crazy " woman stalking this cat late at night. It's disrupting my beauty sleep! But seriously, I don't want the cat pooping in my garden and spraying my stuff. In my sleep I had thought about the cayenne pepper I ate one day. I am thinking that such can be a deterant. Do you know if this is the case? Does anyone know what I can use to scat this cat. My dog just perks her ears. Don't bother hanging tight for any wild chase scene because that just is not going to happen. Can I use essential oils? What can I do to scat this cat, rather than be crouching on my patio lat at night, waiting to pounce and wave my arms. (I think this just makes him laugh at me.) It needs to be safe for my dog and I don't want any chemicles leaching into the ground. I would prefer not to purchase anything over the counter unless it was all natural. I know that there are sound devices and automatic sprinklers etc...I'm just looking for something simple and at minimal cost. I have asked him to leave, but since he visits that much more. I have not asked him to stay, as such a welcome would be false and not truthful. Maybe we should have a KAS Dear Lasha column. Thanks. ~Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Ah, thanks Mary. A little bit of reverse psychology might do the trick.
