Since having a new cat (vile creatures), a local tom cat is making a nuisance of himself. The tom cat has received direct hits from hard objects, hosepipe set to jet at point blank range in the face, several medium distance hits with said hosepipe, water from a full washing up bowl deposited over his head and still he meaws outside my house all night. I take it shooting it and poisoning it are against the law. Any other ideas? If I get hold of it I'd castrate it myself.

Yup, that would cure it. I can't understand why any Tomcat should still be wandering about with a full set of nads. Owners should be getting them castrated as a matter of course, and if not, keep them in.

As usual, the problem is the owner, not the animal.

Nearly. She was still feeding her kitten so we couldn't do it. The kitten kicked the bucket on Saturday unfortunately, so the cat should be done this week now.
 
If she has now lost her last kitten she's back on heat and hence the Tom singing arias.

Keep the cat indoors until you can get it neutered, if you have no attachment to this cat or don't want to spent the money neutering get rid to a shelter asap.

yup listen to Tony, sort out your own cat first before being cruel to somebody else's.
 
Not the same thing I know. I used to have a problem with a neighbours cat crapping in my garden every night.

A used teabag soaked in eucalyptus oil placed in its favourite spot kept him away. Probably the eau de cat femme is a more potent aroma, but it's worth a shot.
 
Have you got access to any area nearby where you could get away with planting a wee patch of catnip ? If you have then cat will invariably get into the habit of going there to get high & just lollygag around.

Failing that, I'm always open to offers to borrow our English Bull terrier for a weekend or so. She never gets near any of the 4 cats next door to us or other neighbourhood felines, however they do make a circuit round our backyard.

Once the cat is spayed the tom cat will go away. I once had a female cat in heat, and amongst many tom cats, the winner was the one I left at night sitting on the ground with a light dusting of snow, and woke the next morning to see him in exactly the same spot with over a foot of snow around him.
Your annoying tom just can't help himself; once your own poor cat is back from the vet and wandering around the house with a giant heavy plastic cone around her neck and making you feel really guilty about it, the tom should go away.
If not, all I can tell you is that my cat has no interest in catnip, but absolutely hates lavender oil.

That is good news. Betsy is booked in for next Tuesday. Until then she will be kept indoors. I'm not a cat lover but my children seem to like her. As long as my wife cleans up after it, doesn't wreck my furniture and as long as she doesn't eat Gwalch my canary then we will get on ok.
 
Found this lurking in my bookmark folder, I never bought anything but still have a cat issue ( I am allergic to them). All thing repellent here

A bit off topic (but hopefully Flatfish's problem will be solved very soon)....just bought one of these today <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180507132400&var=480002506100&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT</a><!-- m --> Has anyone tried these before? Will the cat actually use it? I do hope so, as I'm getting really fed up with an area of 3' diameter around the litter tray being sprayed with the stuff when she tries to bury her business.
She (the cat) had a phase of going outside to do it for a while, that was great. But then suddenly she started using the litter tray again...maybe got attacked by a neighbouring cat in a compromising position?
My worry is that she likes to perch on the edge when 'going'.....and she wont be able to in this device.

That looks like it's going to throw what the cat left in it right back at the cat....which would certainly have a strangely satisfying element of revenge to it. But no prizes for guessing who would have to clean up the mess. :lol:
