racheltoh,

This topic has been discussed many times. Try this, get some old socks/stockings and fill them with moth-balls and put them on your car. Cats cannot stand the smell of naphatelene

 

[racheltoh]

aiyo..... sorry bro. i should have "search" first before posting. ok i'll try your method. however the cats in my place seems to be very brave type cos they are not afraid of dogs!!!!

also, any method how to retain the "new" smell inside the car??? dont say put "pandan leaf" ya

Try a cat repellant. You can get it from a Vet clinic or pet shop.

What about keeping a dog at the porch.. Then the dog start chewing up the car..

I had that problem until lately I renovated the house and we tile up the garden where cat use to do their business there. Now no garden, no cats..

Calling Gracetcp...she had the same problem and I believe started a thread on the same subject.

 

[racheltoh]

okow: i already checked with grace. the problem not solved yet.

Sifu, sifu out there... those of U who successfully managed to get rid of CATS...pls advice. wd40 -if spray at the tyre, tyre can get spoil or not. will affect the tyre performance or not? cat repellent will affect the paint or not??

astroboy: my house got 2 DOGS and the Cats very brave. very friendly to my dogs. and my house got no grass punya..............

That's because your car too kotor.. or your car is white and the scratches are not obvious enough for u..

Rachel, have u figure out how the cat enters your porch? If through the hollow section under the gate, then its time you "redecorate" your gate to block those gaps out. Then your feline neighbour cannot enter your garage lor... :smokin:

Another trick my friend used to pull to ward off cat from doing business in their garden is the lay two bottles of water on the grass. Use the huge soda PU bottles with labels peeled off. The cat will see the reflection of their own image and thought nampak hantu :stupid:, they will stay away from your garden. Do the same to your car.

AB i sayang my car veli veli much! Ill wash it at least 3 times a week, even if i have to drive all the way to ampang to wash it :listen: and will send it to be wax once a month if time permit :4: I would know if there is any scratches on it and the only scratches tats on my car is the one done by this carwash when they wax my car using their machine :stupid: sigh..... now i have to send it to be polished back :wink:

had this problem last month but in a different way. Since we have cute persian cats, female, it attracted stray male cats making courting noises, turning our bins upside down, pissing, scratching cars of course and picking up a fight with our male persian.

The remedy, go to the hardware store, buy a huge trap, like a mouse trap but a big one. Put a fish on the hook and huawala... the next day you wake up, there it is...

we did like 5 to 6 rounds of cats relocation program in that week. Now my persian cat is no longer intimidated to hang around in the lawn. No cats lives were lost during this process.

planta: once the cat is being caught...u relocate the cat to where? another neighborhood or bring to spca? or u allow the cat to run free in an unknown place or allow the cat to die (pardon me) under the hot sun inside the cage?

sounds good idea la. can pinjam the cage?

ab: i dont think its the gate. cos i already put fencing cos i got 2 dogs. more likely it is the sides. they come in from the neighbors house.

 

[keith]

I am currently having this eternal war with cats, before i did what Planta did. Reallocate cat not i am getting new stray cat in my area as though some one else reallocating cats to my area and then i reallocate them somewhere else. Sigh

 

[affan66]

i like planta's idea. maybe i'll do this to my neighbour's cat. Always go to other ppl's houses for a dump or piss but not the owner's.
