Cat problem

Re: Here

Looking forward to this Summer. As you say, out in the garden most afternoons soaking up the sun and taking in the wildlife and alcohol, and then retiring in the evening to watch England get knocked out of the World Cup. On penalties I imagine.

 

Re: Here

Going off on a tangent, but if England get past the group stage I think they'll have done very well. To go out through penalties during the knock out phase will constitute a success for me.

 

Before you get one (or more) be sure to check how much sun it would get on a fully sunny day. You can get roses for full sun, partial sun, and full shade and if you want it to do what it does best you'll need to get the right one. There's tons of stuff on line about 'em. I'd suggest doing a bit of reading and finding one that you like, that will suit the conditions, and buying that, rather than going to a garden centre and getting what they've got. There's nowt more disheartening (and expensive) than buying a plant and watching it sit there doing nowt - no flowers hardly any growth.

 

Brilliant - Just brilliant!!!

 

Yup, we'll do the background work first, as always. Then select what we feel will be the most appropriate and only then go to the garden centres to see if the ones we prefer are available.

I agree. The opening game with Mussolini's men will be pivotal to our chances of successfully getting eliminated in the last 16.

Oh for a Paul Gascoigne...

 

Nah it don't mate, been doing that for years. Still cat poo on the lawn when I go out to cut the grass .....

 

You don't think the sight of my wobbling blubber will be off putting for the cat?

Too right!

 

there is of course the sure fire way to get rid of said Moggy

stand bollok naked on the lawn wearing a Gimp mask











as soon as the Police arrive with the Blues and Twos going the cat will be off, never to return again.

 

Re: there is of course the sure fire way to get rid of said Moggy

What and have the neighbours say "Look. Kev's doing an impersonation of Dragon Tyke"?

 

Re: there is of course the sure fire way to get rid of said Moggy

Air Rifle?

Poison?

 

Thats the most ridiculous assertion I've ever come across...of course they would have died anyway...the problem is they have made no reference to the time span...like saying that poor unfortunate teenage swimmer was caught and killed by a Great White shark...nothing to fret about he would have died anyway

 

Get yourself a super soaker water rifle... great fun outwitting the cat and as said only hurts its pride...

 

The only drawback is the probability of me getting outwitted by the cat!

 

We have had a problem with next doors cat using our front and back gardens as a toilet. I always used to think that they buried it, but this one doesn't. It is not every single day but often enough. We have both seen him doing it.
I wonder if they recognise the smell of their own? The reason I ask is because yesterday there were a couple of solid samples in the flower bed and I lobbed them into next door's garden using my trowel (where the cat lives that is). So, if he gets a sniff of it on his own front lawn (or scrub patch as it should best be described) would the cat get the message and, like the slobbery dog and Tom Hanks, know which is "his room" and which isn't. Just a thought. The people next door are first rate slobs so I have no problem chucking back what their cat has donated.

 

I don't have that particular problem, mate. But can imagine it could get quite infuriating.

 

It is, very. I would never harm a cat but this is not acceptable. I know cats do what they like but if I could catch him at it I would gladly stick his nose in it! Oh, and then throw him and his muck over the fence

 

Cats don't like any citrus fruits. When I peel an orange my cat backs away blinking. They're very sensitive to the smell and it aggravates their eyes. My Mum used to put orange/satsuma peel in the flower beds to keep cats off. To keep the smell strong she used put lemon juice on the peelings and it did work.

So glad I have an house cat after reading some of these posts.

 

You know me well enough, kanecat, to realise I have no intention of causing any harm to the cat.
