F%#@ing Cat!

[jorxster]

So every night when I get home, I put a bike cover on my black 2007 SV1000. Cover has a bit of an elastic on the bottom, so it doesn't fit that snug, but stays on during storms.

A couple of mornings I've taken off the cover to find white hairs shed all over the seat (the previous owner covered the seat with sheep-wool-skin so it's soft). And this morning I even noticed new scratches on my tank. Arghhhh!

We're pretty sure it's a ginger cat that sometimes shows up in the neighbourhood- not a friendly cat, won't let you close. And now it's getting up into my bike during the night.....fricking cat!

I proposed a solution that the miss didn't like, so it'll have to be a humane one.

Thinking about making a concentrated fragrant spray from black pepper or eucalyptus like on this site... and spray the seat before putting the cover on. Every night.

What do you guys reckon?

If I could corner the little bugger I'd hose him down good.

hotbox your cover so when the cat crawls under there it gets stoned as then won't run away. Pick it up then take it inside, put it on your lap and crack open a few beers and enjoy the company of your new friend. Churr

EDIT: Alternatively kill any native bird you can find and put its corpse in a cage with the cat and leave it outside gareth morgans house. When he comes out crying, one punch the cunt then take a piss on him. Take the cat and go home and repeat the step with the beers.

cover your tank and seat with an old rug before you cover it or make up 2 small sandbags to put on top of cover to hold down on seat and tank or get a dog:devil2:

[chasio]

Get a dog. Or a garage.

One of the least pleasant riding experiences I have had involved a tomcat pissing on my cover while I was out, me putting the cover on the bike with my gloves still on and then storing the gloves in my helmet overnight.

The smell of cat waz inside my helmet is not something I wish to experience again. My helmet at the time did not have a removable liner so it took the shine off quite a few rides, that did.

The bastard pissed on my exhaust header a couple of times. As it heated up the stench was something awful.

One of the few things Gareth Morgan got right was about cats, IMO.

I now have a dog. And a garage.

Thats not a bad idea ^

However I would recommend watching the video in this thread here: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/150212-How-to-stop-cats-peeing-on-ya-stuff?highlight=cats+pissing

Naaa .. get a life !!! So a cat sleeps on your bike seat ... BIG DEAL ... (I seriously doubt the scratches on your tank are made by a cat .. )

[Jeff Sichoe]

Get a bungee cord and use it like a 'belt' up over the seat and under the bike then back up, so the cat physically can't get under the cover and sit on the seat?

or just sneak out one night when it's cold and under the cover and give the cat a real good scare - it prob won't return after that.

Best advice ever!

I need to do this. Luckily I smelt the odor before laying hand on the bike cover, so I am now careful about wher eI garb it to avoid getting it on me. I never even thought about it getting into the helmet, so I will have to double my vigilance until I can garage it. Unfortuantely thats not really an option unless I park my car on the road and buy a porta-shed. And I am too lazy to walk down my driveway every day to get to the car (long driveway).

Dont be so sure this bastards left a few on the coon....if it was my bike seat i would put an old school mouse trap on there with a bit of mince,if it even gets him it wont be terminal but will give him a fright when it goes off.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/642295525 problem solved, and you can have some fun doing it.
(these ones won't be powerful enough to hurt the cat but will scare the shit out of it, my dog hates my bb guns cos he's been hit by a couple of ricochets)

[MIXONE]

A saucer of anti-freeze.Problem solved.:innocent:

[2smokes]

cayenne pepper mixed with vasaline, spread on a cloth tapped to the seat will do the trick. He will try to outrun the burn...forever!

[Kornholio]

Cayenne pepper is mint... I put it in a few spots in the house where she thought was a good place to slash, rubbed her nose in all the spots and presto won't even think about wizzing inside again

Might work on the cat too:lol:

[Road kill]

Just wait until you think it will probably be curled up nice an warm then sneak up an scare the shit out of it.

Won't take to much of that before it gives it away.

Failing that just take a lump of wood an kill the fucker,,,,when ya' misses ain't home ya' big pussy.

I've heard of someone doing something similar to this with a condom after he found his girlfriend cheating....:eek5:

[Bikemad]

buy a cheapo bullshit mousetrap from the $2 shop.........set it....leave it on the seat.........job done

I don't have a cat... :/

Fishy smell,

I knew someone would bring up the subject of sex. :facepalm:

I have the same'ish problem. My house is in the middle of cat territory wars so I often find that someone has sprayed on my bike cover.


Though this is what happens when you enter my house unwelcomed and threaten and terrorise my little Adolf and Eva.

Water torture is among my many talents.

I let this one live to give a message to the others.

So, did pissing on the cat work?:eek5: I think it may be a bit harsh:gob:

Haha that was the shower and organic dish soap (as suggested by the vet when I asked for cat poison to make them sick not to kill them)

hahahaha that is one angry looking cat. Also looks like it is memorising who did this and already plotting revenge.

[jorxster]

you guys crack me up! classic...
the video was hilarious!

Definitely given me a few ideas, like the mouse traps... brilliant.
I wish I could have motion activated cameras too, that would be brilliant.

The frustrating thing is I just can't catch the cat in the act- I do frequently go out and shake the cover to scare it- but he's never there! Time will tell...

[wysper]

SHame you don't see it.
Another non lethal way is dried peas in a slingshot.
Hurts but doesn't kill - or at least - hasn't so far.

40gr of lead. Delivered at about 1300 fps.

Or set a bunch of leghold traps around the bike(attach to the bike, or the cat will go home with jewelery and youll have some whining asshole going on about their right to not look after animals)

paintballs in the freezer goes good, too, or 68cal ball bearings. Just watch the bike. That shit makes big holes.

[st00ji]

that BB gun looks very affordable for what sounds like decent quality. we have a plague of cats here, and our own is too much of a pussy (lol) to chase any of them off.

ended up getting one of those fancy magnetic cat doors to keep one particularly cheeky one from coming inside and stealing food / spraying.

junipers pic of wet pussy (double lol) gladdens my heart. have dreamed up many ways of catching the little bastards while waiting for the cat door to be sorted... throwing rocks doesnt seem to be doing the trick.

[Kornholio]

You know, that is so simple and a bit more painful haha :D

[wingnutt]

Man i can get real old quick when having to put hand on cats piss when taking cover off.

I think I tried it all, rat traps left a bit of hair behind, and me feeling wonderful, but it was soon back at it again.

spent upwards of $100 buying all sorts of shit and some of it worked, for time, then it cam back.

The only thing that worked was trap the bastard (was tempted to drown the shit ) but spca will take it.

If you talk nicely to spca, they will supply the trap and the bait.

no trouble since

fuck that. A leghold is about 8$. Itll catch every cat in the hood.
A tap on the noggin with a hammer will send them to the 'shit in the neighbours vege patch' in the sky...
Or you could piss on them and let them go, like our mate jun'

[TimeOut]

A Timms possum trap with meat as bait :innocent:

Cayenne pepper is mint...

No, mint is mint, cayenne pepper is way hotter and does not go with lamb that well.

[Akzle]

No, mint is mint, cayenne pepper is way hotter and does not go with lamb that well.

it does if you do it morrocan style in a cast iron skillet with rosemary and smally diced kumara and carrot. And falafel. I fuken love falafel.

Cats, you can skin 'em but you can't pluck 'em. Ask me how I know.

Might give that a go on the little black cunts roaming our street lately doing there mindess shit though the good news is theres one less to be bothered with as the bloke down the road that does shift work came home to find a fat one struggling to get over his back fence so hauled him back down knocked his teeth out and dragged him all the way out to the street and left him there crying:wacko:Crying for fuck sake jesus there despicable creatures.

you know whats despicable? Youre grammer for fucksake.

[98tls]

Not to bothered with grammer these days theres far more important things to be bothered with ie looking after my back yard.

[breakaway]

Piss all over the cover. This should let the cat know the territory is already spoken for.

[ellipsis]

...Morgans message may mortify most...murdering moggys might make many maudlin... but it does cure the problem...

[varminter]

Alliteration, not often you get that on KB. Good work that man.
