Just sprinkle pepper on the car. I had a cat on my car all the time, bit of pepper on the car one night and now it sleeps down the road, wont come near the place.

Whatever you do though, DONT sprinkle it into the wind and stand downwind from it. Pepper in your eyes really is painfull.

i have a severe problem with cats, mainly because they have turned under my house into a stench that stinks badly in summer and they also pee and crap all over my wheels cars etc


told my wife i dont care about humane ways or legal binds if i catch them well
take a guess where they aint going ;) :


my problem isnt one cat its a house that left about 10 cats behind and they all have litters of catsand they love peeing and craping under high set houses and they love to urinate all over my spare tyres and my gear so,im merely doing the community a service really :

and to date i havent caught one so :P

From experience i can say that a well fed and well cared for cat will have very little intererst in killing anything alive let alone a bird.. They should be locked away at night as well.
If its peeing on stuff its most likely a stray Tom that needs to be removed and humanely Euthenised.

Our cats were well fed and still chased and killed birds - they see something moving around, they chase it, catch it, toy with it for a while and kill it, then leave the largely uneaten carcass lying around.

The cat bath was one I heard of. Some people had a problem with another cat coming in through the cat door and eating their cat's food. Their own cat was too scared to do anything. So when they figured out the problem, the set about fixing it. The cat door was set so the cat couldn't get out. The intruding cat came in and started eating the food. They shut the room, grabbed the trapped cat and dunked it in the nearby filled laundry trough, then let it, drenched, out the door. It no longer came back to their house.

Do you also like the spray? If so, after capturing this cat, The DOK will be than happy to escort it to your door step. Enjoy.

What did the giant canary say to the pussycat? Here kitty kitty kitty...

Seriously, its only in their nature to spray and hunt/kill other animals, and its hard to change that so you should be humane. Remember, we humans brought them to Oz.

The best thing imo use a trap.

cats hate water. if you catch it near your car, or anywhere you don't want it, spray it with water. it shouldn't come back. if it does it just really really loves you!
is it a stray or someone's pet? you can't capture it if its someone's pet.
but chances are its a male (female cats are pretty clean) and just like dogs they are messy little buggers if not desexed.

Not worth the fine (water restrictions). This cat seems to be a stray, reminds me of an old girlfriend (many years ago) she kept turning up uninvited trying to annoy me too, can't remember her ever pi$$ing on my car though. As already stated "I can legally trap it if its out roaming around" it is against the law in the City of Casey.

The City of Casey since feburary 1999 has had an order in accordance with the provisions of clause 25 of the 'Domestic (Feral & Nuisance) Animals Act 1994'. The order states:
"If a cat is found at large outside the premises of its owner at any time, the owner is guilty of an offence".

Thats an interesting suggestion, however I cant help picturing myself driving along looking like the scene from National Lampoons Xmas Vacation? with all the seagulls attacking the wagon.

Catch it and give it a quick bath - hopefully it will be too traumatised to want to return to your home again
