serious problem help - cat

[Anonymous]

ok so

I have to stay at my sister's place a lot in the upcoming months to help her out

anyway she lives in a small tiny place and has a cat that MUST ROAM FREE

so............................. ok i never really had to deal with aminals and I get nervous around them. Well. not when awake so much as when sleeping and them jump on your head
(i am also a light sleeper so any noise wakes me up). It freaks me out and I tend to be in a panic state.

I know its pathetic but some of you might understand

anyway, i will just deal either way, but if any of you know ways to keep cats off you please let me know I would appreciate it

Cats hate citrus, though I doubt you want to wear lemon peels all day. :(

Most of the stuff that offends them is meant for furniture, it sounds like you're going to have to make nice-nice.

[whoreable]

dont cats hate mothballs? perhaps you can use this to your advantage.

Yeah there's some citrus spray she was thinking about getting actually.

yeah. problemis i guess it trains cats to not go on furnature... and if i sleep in couch it might mak the cat avoid the couch... which my sister wouldn't be hip to....

garooooooooooooooooooo!!@!#!@#

My neighbor has a cat that always used to come to our front door and follow us around everywhere. We just started kinda kickin' it and treating it like shit and now it pretty much leaves us alone.

[roonTing]

First, don't unpack... cats shed, and cat hair sucks. Never pet the cat. Don't let it rub against you. Throw it off of you every time it jumps on you. Pee on the couch. :(

[Carnivore]

You need to immediately establish that you're the predator and the cat is the prey. Put the fear of God into the little shit. You don't have to physically harm the kitty. Just scare the crap out of it. It will only come out when you're not around to eat and use the litter box.

My Cat started acting strangely today. He might have rabies. Or he could be hurt. :(

[JesusFishSticks]

Man, that jumping up on you paranoia is kinda funny, but I guess I see where you're coming from. But what'll be worse than that is when you wake up in the night, hearing that 'HEEYUK'ing sound that cats make just before they cough up a hairball.
If you wanna get the cato stay away from you, and don't wana kick it, during the day, when it gets near where you're sitting, glare into its eyes. That actualy kinda gets the predator prey thing going, only without the... stuff.

I don't know about that. For my cat, at least, if you stare at him, he'll stare back, his pupils will slowly dilate, and when they reach a certain diameter, BOOM. He leaps up and playfully swats at you.

Boogie...YOU'VE got a serious problem with your user pic, my friend. :(

[Anonymous]

ah poop

the scaring it thing it 2 problems. 1. the cat is like a kid to them and to not make nice with it seems to be insulting. 2. this cat is a tough cookie i think. she kinda gives me the evil eye, and I am not friendly with it, and then when I turn away it will jump on me. i think it does that intentionally

ok so I might do the citrus thing, just sleep on the floor. Anyone know how effective this crap is though? Like how many time will the cat jump on my head before it figures out the citrus thing and leave me alone

[wreckreation]

if you are that light a sleeper i bet you will hear it when it gets close to you. unless it is a kitten it'll prolly leave you alone.

[Anonymous]

i am fucked :/

[Carnivore]

Wuss :/

[sadie]

can't you just shut and lock the door, so the cat can't get in while you're sleeping?

GET A DOG

"serious problem help - cat" THAT IS MY NEW FAVORITE TOPIC NAME :)

[James]

Well she said she's going to be sleeping on the couch, which I assumes means the living room. I doubt there's any doors to close leading there.

Anyway, Doopa, could you enlighten us a little more as to why you get "nervous" around animals? Maybe if we understand the problem better, we can give some more helpful suggestions.

[Carnivore]

Dude, why are you responding with seemingly genuine concern and not ridicule?

Hey Re, I have a cat on my stomach as I type this! You need some liquid courage to deal with this! Ooh, I know! Maybe you can take the cat to Subway and get it to order for you! :lol

[sadie]

:lol oops.
noob needs to post the fluffy orange kitty.

I love this thread :(

But what'll be worse than that is when you wake up in the night, hearing that 'HEEYUK'ing sound that cats make just before they cough up a hairball.

Ugh, yeah. Both my cats seem to have a natural tendency to bend over my stuff while hacking up goo (and as opposed to puke, hairballs will NEVER get off completely) and walk over important papers after they've been walking through the mud outside.

Get two cats and tie their tails together with a rope. Then hang them over a clothes line, or a tree branch. They'll fight till one of them dies. Hours of fun.

[Anonymous]

I am not afraid of cats.
It freaks me out when they jump on your head when you are sleeping. Unless you are used to that, it startles you >:
So I get "nervous" cause I don't want to be startled.

My friend's cat has this habit of making a kamikaze dash before leaping onto the bed. He's knocked all sorts of shit over doing it, and also unplugged and broken his computer. But once Zus was sleeping in the bed when the cat did that and there was this crack when the two heads collided.

Another funny cat trick is to put the plastic cover from a CD-R spindle on their head. They'll try to walk backwards out of it, but just end up moonwalking until it falls off. It's especially funny on stairs or those 'cat-trees' because they'll just walk right off them.

AND THUS WAS SPACEMAN JACK BORN :tear

KITTIES ARE THE BEST PETS :love

[cherry]

who has the small grey kittie in the pictures. my new kitten looks exactly like that. that freaked me out.

[Carnivore]

I don't know. I got the pics from http://www.mycathatesyou.com :/

[Ninjavenom]

Be nice to the little cretin. :/

Once i woke up at my aun't house, and the cat was sleeping on my face. I thought it was more funny than disturbing, cuz cats are real quiet. I'm pretty sure a cat jumping on the bed won't make you dive for cover and start poppin' caps.





...Seriously though, just toss it in the trash. No one will know.

[glowbelly]

the cat isn't going to attack your head, re. at least, i highly doubt that it will. you can try playing with it all day long and wearing it out. cats are nocturnal, so they usually sleep all day and run around all night. if you keep it up all day by playing with it, you'll be making friends with it and it will hopefully sleep at night and not attack your head (which it's not going to do in the first place).

What works well is an essential oil burner - they're like 5 bucks at Body Shop or wherever and buy some lemongrass or grapefruit essential oil. It'll stink up the room during the night and flip out the cat.
My all-time fave trick with my cats is the RC Car. Buy an RC at radio shack and anytime the cat goes near you after 7pm send the car after it. Believe me - cat's don't understand the RC. Then, when you go to bed, put the car just above your head. The cat's too freaked by the car to go near you. Believe me - I lived with my aunt and she was one of those "cat ladies". Before she got married she had 8.

My cat is full-grown and is a third the size of a normal housecat. She's trailer trash, but smarter than hell. She's got me all figured out - when I get home after a night out, she stands by my bedroom door like a pissed-off housewife until I let her in, where she goes and sits beside the PC until I finished my nightly stream of drunken Emailing, and then runs to the can so I'll pour her a cup of water to drink, which she knows I'll put on my nighttable for her to drink while I read - when she's done drinking and cleaning herself, that's my signal to put the book down and go to bed. She sneaks under the covers and sleeps on my chest to keep warm. No imagine when I've had girls over at my place - this sort of routine can sort of wierd a person out. And so can a cat slightly larger than a guinea pig with eyes like a goddamn Ranma character.

MY KITTY CAT LOVES ME AND HE SAYS "MEOW :)" AND I PICK HIM UP AND HE PURS AND THEN I PET HIM AND HE GETS ON MY STOMACH AND HE PUTS HIS PAWS ON MY FACE AND LICKS MY FINGERS BECAUSE HE LOVES ME :lol

[James]

OK then. I have three cats, and none of them jump on people's heads. They trample my mom in the morning so she feeds them, but that's about it.

So my best advice would be to get over it. Who's to say that this cat's going to pounce on you in the middle of the night?

[Systemz]

My friend had a cat that when you pissed it off it would make a jump for your left eye - always the left eye. One day he showed up to class with an eyepatch over his right eye. I asked him what had happened, and he explained that the night previously he had crawled home in a drunken stupor and thought it would be fun to piss of his cat - so he covered his left eye with his hand, and zapped his cat with one of those flyswatters that uses static electricity - so the cat saw him covering his eye and just jumped at the right - he was so surprised he never had a chance - and the cat bit him right on his eyelid - it nearly punctured right through. He spent the night in emergency.
