    I think you should help out in the hunt to find him* and give him a good shaving.

      Probably you are right. Who needs a cat when they have husbands/boyfriends ...

        Does that include men who are cat owners?

        (Can only find data for 2017 but 2/3 of cat owners are men - https://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...-a7659926.html )

          Who lives in or near Coventry?

          Cat owners in Coventry are on their guard after a spate of incidents where pets have returned home with missing fur. ...
          To be fair, maybe the perp has nothing against cats and this is a campaign against his or her real targets - cat fleas!

          After all, with no fur to snuggle into, or clothes to hide in, a cat flea has nowhere to go.

            I have a couple in my front garden, they seem to work very well. Maybe you didn't set the right frequency as they have different frequencies for different animals, foxes, birds, cats etc.

            I was a bit shocked when my 16 year old asked me why they were so loud they made her ears buzz!

            My wife and I cannot hear a peep out them, frequency is well below our hearing range, but the kids can hear them and they are apparently very loud and annoying!

            These are the ones i have, not that expensive:

              Yeh, my son found them loud, I just heard a faint noise. It's an old farts thing! Maybe that cat I mentioned was an old fart cat! That could explain it.

                Most are, but they grow out of it.
