Anger, Rage, Fume !
My landlady (in London) has 3 terminally stupid cats.
Wednesday : I come into the house after work (I do that sometimes) and the whole house smells of cat piss. I am convinced that they have been having a piss party and pissing over each other. Except for the particularly hairy cat who opted out for a vomit party of his own
Damned perverts !
Thursday : Cook my dinner, phone rings and I go to answer it, Crash the cats knock my dinner off the worktop and are walking about in the resultant mess (probably waiting to start another piss party)
Friday : Get told that I have to install equipment in all over UK & Ireland, so I decide not to buy any fresh food. Get back and discover the other lodger has eaten all my food in the freezer & fridge. Go to bed at 6PM
Saturday : Get up for work and go into bathroom, discover that atleast one cat has cr@pped in the bath. Go into kitchen and discover the kitchen floor, worktops and walls awash in cat urine
Sunday : Get up for work and discover my freshly washed and dried clothes are now wet again with a less than improved odor. Obviously they have been used as the backdrop for the cats fetish party.
WTF am I going to do guys, this is seriously getting on my nerves
Happily I have found a babysitter for my guitars while I am away.

It's not been too funny for me
I actually used to like cats until the last few weeks, still I guess I'm trying to find an amusing side to the whole thing before I do lose my temper.
Still a week at home (cept for a daytrip to Dublin), then at least a week in quality hotels all at my employers expense, I should be pretty chilled out by the end of it.
I just hope they can decide whether I'm heading towards Newcastle, or Liverpool on the way back.
Anyway I have a 500 mile drive ahead of me tomorrow, possibly I should attach the cats to the tow bar ;)
(no I wouldn't really do that it would be terrible for the fuel consumption)

Great. Now sambo has moved on from being a forum \/\/hore to actually using this "off-topic-off-topic" forum to try to hook up with people...
I bet when you arrive, Kilby, he won't even have a spare room... :o
Thanks, Ol!
:lol:

I've been convinced for the last 10 days or so that Sam dosn't really exist that I have simply been corresponding with a figment of my imagination.
Either that or he lives under the floorboards of somebodys garden shed ;)

Create a new username and remain anonymous forever ¬¬
Kilby, just kill them off, one by one. Feed them something thats bad for them :) Or, just complain.

Move? Get a dog? Put the cats in a sack with some of your clothes and then kick them around the room?
-
No sense in complaining about the cats.
The landlady once stated, when you feed the cats you have to stroke them otherwise they won't eat their food. Oh yeah, I wouldn't do that for my kids, so it's not going to happen for her cats.
She also allows them to eat off her plate (while she is eating from it), all that sort of stuff. To me that is pretty gross.
Basically theyr'e her hairy mutant children, apparently their pissing is their way of expressing themselves.
Pesonally I'm trying my hardest not to express myself.
Sambo, your rep can't be that bad you haven't been banned yet

:D MOVE !!!
Your paying rent for a place to live. Not to have your stuff covered in cat p*ss MOVE.
:D 8)
-
I am a bit of a cat lover but there is no way I would allow that in my house. They are pets and we love em but they are also animals and are treated as such.
-
If you're paying this woman money for rent, then surely you're well within your rights to complain about her cats p!issing everywhere as surely if there's several cats doing it, and it's not being cleaned up straight away, then can it not be seen as a health risk?
-
Get a Dog.

i was only messing with you, man!
:lol:

argh i $%&#ing hate animals - all they do is make a mess (in so many senses of the word), and cost money&time! i dont understand why people have em...
-
I said that about kids Indy.
-
And so did my uncle, chose not to have kids, and now lives a great lifestyle... holidays all the time, every rock gig he wants (oh and he likes taking his nephew too :) )!
respect boi!
Doogz
-
awww but kids arent kids forever, at one point they grow into people. animals never grow into people (well, none i've come across..?)
-
Time for a cat kebab??? :lol:
I've got some really string cat odour remover that came from Pets At Home, we've got two cats that piss on the doormat given half a chance, doesn't smell now we have the spray - and they haven't been near it since 'cause it gives off a scent they don't like!
-
Couple of options (if you cont. having to live "with" the cats).
Mothballs, cats hate em. Now, how you arrange them is another matter but crushed mothballs should make a feline take a wide birth.
If, on the other hand, getting them to favour 1 particular place is a better alternative, try hiding some catnip in an area. This should illicit feline addiction/interest in one spot.
Also, have heard (and this could be a tricky/messy one) that going to the local Zoo and talking to a friendly keeper might help. Yeah I know, sounds strange (and I am not volunteering lol, not got cat problem luckily anyway) but a small amount of "predator" urine is apparently a sure fire way to strike the fear of god into a feline!
Now how this would help with laundry (hmm, replace cat piss with tiger piss, good swap LOL) I have no idea, but interesting idea and great pub conversation lol.
"Hey what you get up to today?", "oh I went to the Zoo to collect Cougar piss" ROFLMAO
-
I was only kidding about kids Indy- I have two sons and I love em both more than anything in the world I can assure you and they'd have both laughed at my earlier comment- sadly they both live abroad.
-
argh i #$%!& hate animals - all they do is make a mess (in so many senses of the word), and cost money&time! i dont understand why people have em...
They are nice "companions" you silly boy. My dog never shouts at me when I crank my amp ¬¬ He's probably scared of it actually now I mention it.. who knows.
-
pets are awesome.... especially dogs... anything cuddly and soft... :D :lol:
-
Well I'm in 4 star luxury well away from the moggies for another week :)
I wouldn't mind the cats so much if the landlady was there (then she could clean up after the perverts), but she is truck driving these days (I kid you not) and seems to expect me to look after them.
I been told that cats hate the smell of citrus fruits, so I will be acquiring orange peel
I would go for tangerine peel but it starts me thinking of plastic bags, amyl nitrate and concative politicians.
I even had to find a babysiter for my strat while I was a way as I didn't want it getting soggy (I took the ric with me)
I like animals as long as they are treated as animals.

Put some really tight elastic bands round their 'nads, that should stop 'em.
P.S use welding gloves :D

The spare room has his computer in it and he is on it 24/7 so you wouldn't be able to go in there!!

Buy a really loud valve amp (unless you already have one), switch it on, plug your guitar in, volume on zero, and turn the amp all the way up to 10. Cover it in catnip and wait for the cats to start playing near/around it. Then when they least suspect it, turn your guitar up and play as hard as you can. Then do the mothballs thing :D.

Just use one of them as a hotplate though I suppose it's resistance may vary depending on it's urine content.

I have 3 cats, and used to have 5. Are these cats fixed? If not, you're pretty much screwed and they're going to spray all over the place no matter what. If they've been pissing everywhere for a long time it will be extremely hard to break that habit as well. Here's how I'd try however.
Is the cat litter dirty? Change the cat litter often. Sometimes cats will piss on things because their cat boxes are too dirty.
After ensuring you have clean litter, go to a pet store and buy something to eliminate cat piss odor and apply it to the worst places you can find. If a spot smells like piss already, often a cat will piss there again and again. If it doesn't smell, sometimes they'll stop.
One caveat to my advice: it hasn't worked for me. One of my cats pisses on things in our house. We've tried everything short of electrocuting his nads to get him to stop. If he's mad at you he'll piss on you while you sleep. Now THAT is something to get angry about. We just throw him in the shower and turn on the water and spray him when that happens. Is it a deterrent? Who knows, but it's satisfying to watch him squirm and has perhaps help prevent me from strangling the life out of him. He's 16 years old and we're holding off on things like buying new furniture etc... until he passes on

The sad thing is I have been around cats all my life and have never had to put up with the fluids, semi solids and solids I have experianced over the last few weeks.
I believe they have been fixed, but one of them can only be described as retarded (the main suspect) he is a Abassinian (pardon the phonetic spelling) and as dumb as a rock.
The landlady actually says things like when you feed the cats you have to stroke them or they won't eat. WTF they won't eat because they are over fed (she insists that they need a minimum of 2 meals a day).
As for litter they have clean litter and also 24 hour access to the outside world.
Grrrr, the Thames is 10 metres away, perhaps a short flight (say around 40 feet) and a swim would cure things.

only if its a permanent 'swim'..... :roll: :wink:

One thing I've found is that male cats tend to be cleaner, but cats get lazier with age so avoid walking outside so cr@p somewhere in the house. One of mine cr@ps on the carpet if her litter tray is slightly dirty (costs me a fortune in litter), although the male cat is much cleaner - the sound of my hifi or guitar amp sends him nuts and he charges about the house. Be thankful you don't live with a cat like my friend has - he's a big fat $%&#er (on steroids for asthma) and has a twisted spine so can't wash his arse so he drags his arse across the carpet!
Orange peel doesn't always work. The sprays are much better than natural remedies. I couldn't inflict dirty cats on a tennant as I'd feel guilty charging rent.
