They make an aerosol spray that keeps cats off things because it's offensive to them. You can't smell it but they can. Get some and spray your problem areas and they'll stay away. Problem solved. You don't even need to do it a lot, just once in awhile and the residual spray will keep them away. But then you'll have nothing to complain about..

I've sprayed feline repellent in that spot at least 4 times over the past 7 weeks.
... and again just now.

The repellent is obviously not working so get another brand and try that one until you get the one that they don't like.

Preaching to the choir.
The "cat people" in the house only approve certain forms of "better living through chemistry", even though the forms they approve seem ineffective.
It's essential oil wishful thinking, if you ask me, but they've deluded themselves into thinking it works without critically reviewing the results. (Repellent sprayed furniture is still getting clawed; repellent sprayed areas are still getting marked).
It has a child-safe pleasant clove oil smell.
I've relocated my luggage. Again.
May the cards fall in your favor.

Secretly get a spray they don't know about and hide it sounds like you're using some kind of BS save the environment type spray which cats laugh at. Believe me there are sprays out there they don't like and your kids will never know the difference.

You describe yet another perpetual battle with my loving family.
Last time I tried to indelicately replace the eco-friendly chemicals with stuff that works, I woke up to the 4 year old contemplating how to open my femoral artery. I don't think her big sister put her up to it; she was just trying to make a good guess about how to off me without too much mess.
(My wiley instincts for self-preservation prevailed. I survived, although there is a fairly dramatic cut in a pair of blue jeans I keep as a reminder.)

There's one thing you never mention in all these talks about your cats and the problems you have is your wife. Where does she stand on all this, certainly between the two of you you can figure out how you can hide a can of cat spray. Are your children really smarter than you? As far as I can see the cats so far are smarter than everybody in this scenario.

The cats have the wife convinced that they are desirable to have around.
I am often away on travel, so I usually don't care.
The wife is also convinced that organic free-range homeopathic household chemicals are superior, despite their general ineffectiveness. She has the children convinced of this.
Again, the real plan is to get cleared to go back to sweeping floors (and other lucrative endeavours) in faraway lands in a week or two, and let them sort the messes out themselves.
The cats will stay here. I'll take my clothing beyond the splash zone. The world will be right again, aside from still having next to nothing for freeplay.
May the cards fall in your favor.

When I was a freshman in college my room mate had a thing for snakes; he let a full sized boa constrictor run "free" in our dorm room.
It was cool to watch it eat mice, then rats, then guinea pigs, but a year later, after he moved out, it was claimed he fed it cats.
Whatever.
One morning I awoke from my slumber on the lower bunk, opened my eyes and saw that the snake had wrapped his lower body in the coils supporting the upper bunk, leaving his upper body and head free to hang down...his head was an inch or two from my face when I first opened my eyes.
I figure he was eyeing me, trying to figure out if he could eat me.

2 cats or more = Cat piss, cat piss, cat piss galore.. its piss, s$it and puke all over your space, lies if you claim it doesn't happen to your place.
Stinky litter, Stinky clothing, and a massive horrible Stinky place. Your dulled senses don't notice what's right there in front of your nose/face.
Don't fool yourself in thinking cats only use the litter box in grace, because in a group it been proven they $h!t, piss ans puke all over the place
FYI, your clothing and blankets are especially not safe, because
The hair, cat puke, hairballs, piss, and poop
you can never escape.
What a nasty, vary nasty miserable world it must be living with multiple cats that do nothing but...shed, poop and pee.

What is a thread about cats doing on a gambling forum, anyway?
I could see "Monkey Monkey" but "Here, kitty kitty kitty" just wouldn't resonate in the baccarat pit.

Why is there a thread about food, or remembering the past, or any of the other dozens of threads that have nothing to do with gambling.

We have had 2 at once. I knew better than having more than one at a time. But... I was in the Walmart parking lot during one of the hottest days in summer when I noticed a desperate kitten not looking good. It scamperd into an engine compartment where I fished it out. I swear it was about to die until I held it under the air-conditioning and gave it drops of water and probably mouth to mouth. We kept it. She is still doing well to this day, however I'm certain she had some brain damage that day for various reasons.Quote: EvenBobQuote: AxelWolf2 cats or more = Cat piss, cat piss, cat piss..

Our first cat passed away after a very, very long life. Our current cat was a kitten around 2010-20012.
No more cats or animals for us( we have/had too many).
we just got a puppy a year ago and we will not be getting anything new for a very, very long time.
We have had so many different animals, it's crazy.
Dart frogs, red eye tree frog's, 3 different kinds of turtle's, a small golden Greek tourist,
Hehgogs, a fancymouse, a ferret that passed away
I love owning animals, but it's so heartbreaking.
Our outside turtles should outlive us.

Most cats roughhousing with a much larger animal get overwhelmed when the other animal is also energetic. Not this cat.
