Why people hate cats.


Me. I'm a cat lover. I have three wonderful very special kitties that share my life and home. They are all three spayed, vaccinated and kept indoors. The only person my cats bother is me.

Now for the past three nights I have been kept up by a ranging female cat in call, and her cassanova boyfriends. She has chosen a territory in the area around my house and screams and caterwauls well into the night. WHen she starts calling, that gets my cats, particuarly my boys who while neutered, still know what a lady cat in love sounds like, all worked up.

So the cats are running back and forth through the house from window to window. Then Juliets boyfriend pays her a visit and the screaming begins. This gets my dog all worked up and she's pacing through the house, growling and woofing. Finally the cats outside finish the deed and everyone inside settles down again, only to repeat the cycle all over in thirty minutes.

It's driving me INSANE!!! This is why people hate cats. Because roaming intact cats are damn annoying! They give all cats a bad name. They certainly aren't putting me in the best of moods.

Hmph!

Oh dear, that must be so annoying for you

I think you need a hose pipe at the ready, then you can open your window and squirt away to cool their passion!!

Re: Why people hate cats.


Thanks. They are strays and most people don't properly own cats here. I am the only one I know with indoor pet cats.
I hadn't thought about breaking out the feliway, will try that.
and a hose for the cassanova kitties.

Re: Why people hate cats.


Would it not be possible to get some kind of neutering programme going for the strays, Kobster?? Otherwise this problem will just go on and on.........and surely you get over-run with homeless kittens too??

I didn't realise things were so different over there - amazing what you learn on Catsey!!!
