melchy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I pulled the tarp off my jeep at the weekend only to find one seat covered in cat hair (im allergic to the evil things) and the other one scratched to shreds!!!! :argh: I may be able to patch the seat and use it upside down until I can get a new one but does anyone have any ideas how I can keep the furry little demons away from my pride and joy? I tried the spray stuff last year when one neighbourhood pest thought my garden was a feline wc but that didn't work for long. Any ideas appreciated, I'm thinking mousetraps at the moment as I can easily mop up a bit of blood :cool2: but don't fancy spraying my jeep with a repellent that's going to stink. could buy a house with a garage but it's a bit ott. Anyone know of something that works? thanks Melchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Saw on the web a while ago an "ultrasonic fence" designed to keep other peoples pets out of your garden etc. Maybe it will do for you too? Think it was about £40 - can't recall where I saw it now though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Keeping Cats away is fairly easy. There are 4 ways of doing it :- 1. Cats do not like citrus smells, so leaving Orange or Lemon peel around keeps them away, and it does smell OK. 2. Cats respect larger Cats, so visit a local Zoo and get some Lion or Tiger poo and spread this around. The cats will think a larger animal lives there and will keep away. However, the smell might keep you away aswell. 3. Spray Pepper around, as it irritates their noses and makes them sneeze. Cats can get a fatal disease called 'Cat Flu' so sneezing to a cat makes them think they are very ill and will keep away. 4. Cats and Dogs can hear sounds that humans cannot, so if you play a CD of those noises, the cats will not stay. The final track on the Beatles 'Sergeant Peppers' LP includes those sounds as John Lennon didn't like Cats or Dogs. Hopes this helps.

Tony B Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Get a can of anti mate, spray the edges of the canvas with that. Another way is to soak it into a sponge in plastic tub and leave under the tarp, works longer that way, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The noise repellants can be heard by (some) people, a friend of ours has one and we can hear it, and it's very annoying!

N.O.S. Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The noise repellants can be heard by (some) people, a friend of ours has one and we can hear it, and it's very annoying! (Despite me being a drummer and working on big diesels...) Sounds like my dad, he is quite deaf and has the thing set at far too low frequency. It drives me crazy whenever I sit outside in his garden. No need to have it set so low for cats. Reminds me of the bumper sticker seen in New York - "SO MANY MICE, SO FEW CATS" and the one next to it - "SO MANY CATS, SO FEW RECIPES" :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melchy Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try a few and let you know what happens. I keep thinking of some kind of remote electric shock set up so I can see how high the thing can jump. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Cant remember where I got it from but i bought some tiger powder to spread in my back garden and I must say it works a treat.

Tony B Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) A young lady of my aquaintance disapeard round a bush, followed by the most tremendous shriek and a standing leap, legs akimbo in full glory, jeans at half mast over said bush, She did know the feild had electric fencing. She then kicked the C888 out of me, mind you wasn't difficult I was rolling on the floor laughing. :yay: I find cats in the back yard useful for zeroing the airsoft BB.
