Problem is, is she only gets George done, one of the other toms will take over.
Not only is he a pain in the ar*e, he could spread feline aids.
I've got 3 cats (1 female and 2 male), all neutered, yet there is still a hierarchy between them.
I had a neighbourhood Tom who decided our downstairs bathroom window was a good place to come in the house, I saw him on the windowsill one day, filled a bottle with water, opened the window and poured the water out. Unfortunately for him, I forgot he would look up when I opened the window....
the 'poor little thing' got a face full.
Haven't seen him for a while.....
Meanwhile, my cat George (small, affectionate and a 'mummy's boy') is peacefully asleep on my bed.
How can a 7lb cat take up so much space?

maggie

Yes i hope so for you .. nite am off to bed now so much for an early night eh? Take care xxx

Thanks Teresa.............no doubt he will get his comeupence........one way or another.

Well then go back to the hose pipe, water pistol, bucket of water and the RSPCA suggestions and just hope the little bu*****ger disappears. Good luck and i keep my fingers crossed for you. xxxx

Trouble is Teresa he is far to wary to be caught....he is terrorising the neighbourhood. He isn't a friendly cat that hangs about for fuss off strangers........and I ended up shouting " I want to f***ing kill him " to her this very day...........she has three other toms ,but they arn't a problem like George is.........well not so far.

I know it sounds very very cruel but is there anybody that could sort of put him in a car and take him away, like kind of cat napping, do you think she would miss just one???

I might well invest in a water gun.........my grand children can play with it...........good excuse to have it in the garden...........lol

This cat in question is a clever one , he knows I'm full of ill intent but I'll get him one of these days.

My cats are already scared to go out ,especially old Toby , he is 17 and a bag of bones.........if that bas**rd gets him I think it would kill him.
Glad your little Yorkie has back up against the fox Lindsey.

Treat yourself to one of those high pressure water pistols and pop them from an upstairs window.!!
Cats can be unruly if there are too many, they each need their own space, and yours will get too scared to go out.
I have to go out with my big torch to scare off the foxes before my mini yorkie will go out at night !

We had a ginger tom after my cat a few years back, he got a good shot of the hose pipe on jet right up his a***** lol never saw him again. Citrus smells are the best i have found and the cheapest xxx

Thank you Eileen...........I feel sad for her cats being shut in and I didn't expect her to react like that....but I think they are used to it as I'm sure she lets them out on a sort of rota basis.........some of them are doubles of each other.........hence the reason she claims to have only eight.
She is more than a little mad.

Apparently if you fill a plastic bottle with water & leave it in the garden it freaks cats out.
If your a good aim a water pistol works a damn sight quicker though!!!!

If I were you i would do it, At the end of the day who on earth could manage 10 cats?? I bet the house absolutely stinks.. The Tom cat would be a lot better off being done and might and its a big might become more sociable. It's not the cats fault i blame the owners for not having him sorted in the first place. As has been said previouslt it's down to frustration.

Teresa,
Wish I knew about the citrus smell when all those cats used my garden as their loo.It would have been a much nicer smell than the (fresh) garlic and special spray that also smelled of garlic, but many times stronger.Cats don't like that smell, or so I was assured, wish they knew that though.
I love cats, have had them for many years.My daughter who lives 2 doors down, has two.One never leaves their garden, the other is a comic.Large black female, who is getting fatter and fatter by the day, so much so, that her legs seem to be getting shorter..
She often 'visits'my garden, and leaves little pressies for me.Yummy! Somehow, I don't mind her doing this.She is a loveable old fool.

Amanda, hope the cats stay inside, poor things,or that your neighbour gets her tom castrated VERY soon.When the wierd neighbours with all those cats & dogs were evicted, a special firm had to come to fumigate and clean up inside, because of all the fleas and dog poo everywhere.UGH!

I must admit Teresa I felt guilty that I flipped at her but only because I prefer to rise above that sort of behaviour............however , enough is enough , and asking nicely last year got me nowhere.If this doesnt work I shall have to report them to the council.

Good for you having a go !!!! hope you feel better for it, I also find a water pistol is good especially when it catches them off guard !!! P,S i do like cats really xxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks for that Teresa.............most of their cats keep away........my problem is their aggressive Tom beating up my cats.

I must admit I haven't seen any of their cats since I blew up at Mrs.earlier today..........she must have them all shut indoors , with the windows shut.........phewee....it must pong to high heaven in her house............lol

Sorry to butt in on this thread, but i have been told that cats don't like citrus smells, i do put down sliced lemons and grapefruit bits in my garden and it seems to keep the cats away. I have a cat of my own and she won't go near it. You can also buy a spray that is supposed to keep 'Toms' away and stop them from spraying around doors etc

Amanda, yes, I was very pleased when they were given the boot.
Would you believe me when I say I never smelled the cannibis at all? Only found out they were going when one of my grandsons phoned to tell me.Then I noticed the big rubbish vans, police, gas & electra. people.....
They used to keep countless birds in their attic.The bird food attracted LOTS of mice, which came in through all the openings in the dividing wall.Creepy!Everything in my attic had to be thrown away, because it was all covered in mice excrement & urine!! Seriously wierd people.
Getting back to the cat poo, you could smell it as you walked down the garden, YUK! If I 'missed'a bit, it was easy to see some time later, because it went all 'hairy'.I tried cutting up fresh garlic into tiny pieces and spreading it around, a special spray that smelled terrible for days on end, nothing helped.

Good luck with your neighbours, hope you manage to sort things a.s.a.p

Eileen

That's right Kitty..........I've seen him crossing the big main road at the top of ours..........I've spoken in the past to Mrs in concern for his safety.........deaf ears listen and the voice trots out well rehearsed agreement........but nothing changes sadly.

It's not an easy life for the poor tomcat either..............they get injured by constantly fighting and must be so miserable most of the time.

Have you considered contacting the RSPCA for advice.
