Thanks for the tip. My cat is regularly menaced by a tom cat, and I was thinking of buying a load of metal "cat sillouettes" to stick round the place in the hope they would act as "cat scarecrows" and discourage the other cat. But if orange peel works as well that would be great
edit: Brainwave - A solar-powered metal cat sillouette with a motion sensor which when triggered causes it to make a loud hissing noise and light up starey eyes. I wonder if something like that has been patented, and what the Dragons' Den team would make of the idea!
We used to have a rescue cat that the local bulldogs were afraid of. Cats used to cross the street to avoid her.

Should have allowed cats in close proximity to also enter as guests for X seconds after authorised owner checked in
Even I once managed to get through a car park exit barrier that was raised by the car in front . So im sure Cats can manage it.

Anyway, my cat hates not having her humans around. She won't do anything as demeaning as sitting on a lap, but I think she gets a bit worried when the staff are absent.

A neighbour's cat is frequently napping on my seat in my greenhouse. Occasionally, when I've left the door open, found it wandering in the house. Still, quite nice little thing, not caused any pooey, scratchy, fleey or dead ratty problems that I've noticed.Last edited by xoggoth; 8 July 2021, 08:35.

I really don't give a tulip but Mrs Fraidy hates all cats now.

Cats hate lockdown
You'd think cats would love lockdown, being able to spend more time with their owners. But apparently most hate it, and are fed up with their owners constantly being under their feet instead of having the place to themselves!
2021-07-08 Why your cat hates lockdown more than you do
So if you have a cat, sod off to some office every day (not forgetting to fill their bowls first). They'll thank you for it!Tags: None
