They do their business on my porch, they burrow in my garden, they stalk my bird's nest, they sleep on my patio furniture. I've tried mothballs and cayenne pepper, to no avail.
How do you get rid of cats, without hurting them?
Cats hate the smell of ammonia. Put an ammonia soaked rag in a tupperware container (with holes so the scent can escape) on your porch, the foul scent should drive them away, it worked for me around my bird feeders.
Reply:Lots of local shelters will have cat traps you can borrow. Trap them, call the animal control officer, and they're gone.
Reply:Try this recipe: 2 Tbsp. Cayenne pepper, 3 Tbsp. powdered Chinese Mustard, 4 Tbsp. Flour in 2 quarts of warm water.. Allow it to stand for 1 hr and then strain and put it in a spray bottle, and, spray it around. This will repel a mountain lion as well. Cats also hate the smell of Vinegar. So use it in a spray bottle . Cats are afraid of Snakes so place pieces of garden hose about your garden. Cats do not like to see their reflection in a plastic bottle. Try filling plastic soda bottles half full of water and leave them around your garden where they frequent. They will go looking for another place to use as a bathroom. if you plant Chicken Wire just under the surface of the some of the soil around the garden, the cats will have too much trouble digging and find an easier area. Plant Catnip in a place far away from the areas you want to keep them away from. Cats do not like the herb "Rue", so scatter the leaves around the areas that they frequent and they will leave very quickly. Or plant some "Rue " plants.

Or you might try ammonia in a small bowls around the patio.

Reply:are they strays? if so, call animal control
Reply:be careful they sometimes get extremely insane and once they touch u they will not stop until u throw them
Reply:Spray them with water whenever they do anything wrong
Reply:Call Animal Control.
Reply:Ammonia, or spray them with a hose, or call animal control, ONLY if they are no kill. They dont deserve to die, simply because they are a nuisense! :)
Reply:Well, first try contacting your local Animal Control. They can set up humane traps to remove them.
Or, you can purchase traps yourself and then take them to a local animal shelter.
But, be aware. A mad cat is a very dangerous animal! They are lightning quick and not only bite, but scratch. They also thrash violently when scared. You can also call a private Animal removal company.
Reply:try some citrus scented air freshener and spray your furniture.
You can always get a humane trap and trap them and call the shelter for pick up.
Reply:Ammonia, or a dog.
Reply:Animal Control
Ur Not Hurting them.
They may even be fed in the shelter.
Reply:spray them with the hose and soon they wont come back.

Whats better Jungle cat or Garden for Kitty?
If you were going to leave your kitty at a boarding facility, what "setting" would you think was cuter or funer for the cat? ** Jungle Room** a room with green walls,fake plants , cat nip and toys with leopard print cat furniture and what not or **Garden kitty** fake hanging plants, flowers and butterflies on the wall and light colored items in the room ? Both rooms would have the identical toys, furniture ect..
Whats better Jungle cat or Garden for Kitty?
Jungle - there is more visually stimulating stuff you can use, IMO.
Reply:Neither of these would appeal to me or my cat who is very timid. I would look for a cattery that had a caring owner who would cuddle and cosset my cat as much as possible and have a warm environment for her so that she did not miss her home comforts.
Reply:garden kitty!
Reply:I would pick jungle.

Question about the BED frame / furniture ?
I've never bought a bed myself and I'm not very knowledgeable about it, but I felt this bed looked all right (see link below). If I get a "full size" of this bed, would it be okay for someone who is around 5'10" tall? If not what size would be good enough?
Also, what does "unfinished" mean? Does it have to be finished in order to use it properly or not? Where can I get it done at?

Question about the BED frame / furniture ?
unfinished means the wood is ready for staining and lacquer.
If you do not wish to finish the wood I would at least put lenn seed
oil on it. Beware the bed may not be assembled when it arrives.
Ask the sender to to give you a list of items included. (does it come with a mattress)
A full size bed should be ok for a 6 foot person.

Ideas for a garden theme!!?
I want to redecorate a TV room with a southernly garden feel. Lots of sunflowers, color, and plants involved. Any ideas for furniture and decoration :)??
Ideas for a garden theme!!?
Instead of a chair rail around the room, why not put up a 3 ft. high white picket fence around the room or at least on one wall with a tree and flowers painted beyond the fence and maybe a swing hanging from the tree. You can have some nice silk flowers poking through the fence. For room furniture use outdoor furnishings like wicker. Maybe even a hammock could be hung from two tree's painted on opposite walls in the room.
Reply:Garden style is typified by an atmosphere of fresh and pretty things, including floral prints, especially in chintz fabrics, needlepoint pillows, framed botanicals, painted wood furniture, lace accents, fresh flowers and china antiques.
THINK OUTDOOR: sky, trees, flowers, grass, stones and water. Ever thought of adding water mini water fountain? Paint "stone pathway"? Stencil a tree on one wall? Build a birdhouse serve as a lamp?
IDEAS:
Mix new and old, washed white and dark wooded furnitures, pictures, etc
http://img.hgtv.com/HGTV/2003/07/22/desi...
Wheelbarrow serve as TV stand
Add birdcage and hang with a rope on the ceiling
Add picket fence on one wall OR stencil it (if you know how)
http://img.hgtv.com/HGTV/2004/03/05/cott...
Add mirror on the opposite side of the window to bring "outdoor" indoor
Set up a long rectangle table the back of your couch with bunches of plants, birdhouses, sunflowers, etc
Hang framed leaves from your backyard http://img.hgtv.com/HGTV/2003/02/19/dws1...
Add sunflower printed throw blanket on the end of couch
Add solid white or pale yellow sheer curtains under large printed sunflower valances. Be sure to add hooks with silk sunflowers attached
A bench from picnic table serve as coffee table
Reply:i wouldn't go to floral pattern crazy with the furniture cause that can look outdated. i would go with a light green colour for the walls, u can still put sunflowers on them if u want.

Why won't my 2 year old stop jumping on my furniture?
I've tried several times to stop him from jumping on the sofa, but he seems to love going back to iy and have a jump. We have a trrampoline in the garden, which he loves. Why won't he stop when I tell him to
Why won't my 2 year old stop jumping on my furniture?
He's a child and is testing his limits--Just keep telling him to stop--don't get angry or abusive in any way--just keep telling him to stop--perhaps lifting him from the sofa--and putting him somewhere else each time..eventually he wil get it--He is testing your limits--if you react with anger--he will have learned how to provoke you. If you continue to set limits calmly--he will learn to respect you--that what you say is what you mean--consistently--
that said--maybe he needs to work off more energy--take him to the outdoor trampoline more--and have more interesting things to do in the house as well..kids llike to play and explore..it's natural...
Reply:He's 2 and that's just how boys are always have to push their luck. give him a warning and if he does it again then put him in time out for 2 min. and if that doesn't work put him in his bed or just his room for a few min. he should understand that you're not joking when you say no.
Reply:he is CUTE
Reply:thats why its called terrible twos. get a lock for his bedroom, put him in it when he dis obeys, right away so he can see why. let him out AFTER he stops crying. He needs to learn to listen.
Reply:You are just gonna have to keep on telling him over and over again....eventually he will get the message.
When you have removed him from the sofa, get down to his level, look him in eye and, with a deep and serious voice, say " you dont jump on the sofa, a sofa is for sitting on, not jumping".....and then take him out of the room..i would also try distraction.....get him interested in something else when he wants to jump on the sofa.
Reply:Tell him he's not allowed on the furniture period. Make him sit on the floor and tell him that he can try again tomorrow or after his nap or something.
Reply:And why he should care for your furniture. With his lovely jumps, chinky jumps, smiling jumps he is offering you a lot of happiness, if he stops this activity for 24 hrs , you will certainly feel whether he got ill, and you will pray God that you will never prevent him , but please give all his smiles and jump back . This is nature.
Reply:Because he loves jumping on the sofa!
You need to reinforce your telling by doing:
Take him out and put him on the trampoline. Tell him the trampoline is for jumping and the sofa is for sitting.
Make him SIT on the sofa - and if he won't, give him a warning: the next jumping on the sofa will get you a time out.
Reply:my son does the same exact thing. he loves to jump all over the place on everything, onto everything. September he broke his arm...last friday, fractured his leg. Jumping from the dresser to the bed - onto a pile of clothes. I warned him and warned him, sat him on time out, did all i could. i get told its a boy thing. wild arnt they!?
Reply:Could be that he's doing it for attention. Be sure to give him the attention he craves when he's being good- ignore him when he's being naughty. Kids hate to be ignored. Of course if he is really pushing his luck you could use Time out, but when disciplining him get down to his level and tell him why he is naughty and get him to say sorry. Good luck!
Reply:he thinks hes tigger hey! i would say time out he has to know now other wise can you imagine when he is 16 and doing it..mmmmm no time out for 2 min a min per year of age.when its time up you get to his leval and say mummy does not want you to do that again. after he say sorry. let him go if it happens again do the same thing, ill be truthful it will take about a week and probably wear you out. but remember YOU are the boss.good luck to you and tigger...
Reply:Some pretty harsh answers for disciplining a two year old!
I have a two year old boy and he is crazy!
I wish all he did was jump on the furnature!
Locking him in his room until he stops crying will only break his temper and his emotional ability will begin to decrease, not a good idea unless you want a heartless child.
Two year olds do this kind of thing, for attention, boredom, or just to be plain naughty! I promise he WILL grow out of it.
I've shouted at mine til I'm blue in the face and trust me they still do it, it will stop eventually try ignoring him and he'll get bored of it himself.
Reply:if he doesn't stop when you tell him to, put him in time out, he needs to know that there are consequences for not listening to you.
Reply:Get him into a trampolining class that has lessons three or four times a week. He will:
a) get good at bouncing and be able to use his own trampoline in better ways
b) have no time to bounce on your sofa
Alternatively you could get a sofa with really strong springs.
Also, two year olds don't do what you say! He's only a kid!
