Tools got a good cleaning tonight...because of my roommate's F'ing cat...

[Chchadder]

I am a cat person by nature, but this one just really goes beyond my threshold a bit.  Any suggestions will of course be taken in jest, and I am not really going to hurt the cat.

Cut it's whiskers. It uses them to know how big a space it can get into. Now it'll either 1) run into shit or 2) get stuck in places. Ideally both.


If it gets stuck, that would be an ideal time to break out the spray bottle of icy cold water.






Yes, I am an asshole.

[Bun-bun]

If the goal is to stop the cat from doing it again, there is not much you can do bayeond rub his nose in it (Tho I have been known to rub the whole cat in it on occasion.).
If the goal is revenge, I suggest you lay pieces of tape, sticky side up, on the floor in front of a doorway and wait for the cat to wander in. Hours of fun.

Where's the poll option for "all of the above"?

Agreed.  I really like "Piss on him..." and, umm, "boobies?".  Perhaps their power combined?!?!?

[Rameses]

I was thinking more along the lines of rinsing off the purple cleaner by peeing on him as he's falling from the balcony.

[CairnsDuc]

No no no

That's where I'm going wrong, Well, That explain's the looks of disgust I've been getting.

Pee on roommate. Inform roommate that peeings will continue until the cat is taught not to pee on tools.

[causeofkaos]

get yourself a spray bottle or a "super soaker" pee into it and teach that little turd a lesson. Of course everytime you mis you will be peeing all over your house.................. maybe i didnt think this one all the way through...

[DCXCV]

Burlap bag.  Pond. 

I think my work is done here. 

[DucHead]

Leave the cat alone.

Get rid of the roommate.

I've rubbed the cat's nose in it.  I think it's the spanking and tone of my voice that got through.  Just be careful hitting the cat - pick a nice meaty thigh and hit just hard enough for him/her to get the idea.  They are 10% of our weight, so hit lighter.  (and supposedly their organs are closer to the surface than people - or so I was told by a friend who's cat died from getting kicked, and that's what her vet said.  Still miss that cat!)

It's not mean, it's behavior modification. 

Show the cat what you're talking about. Something negative happens to the cat.  Cats are smart.  they'll put the two together.

[Monsterlover]

You're really advocating hitting an animal?

I'll leave it at that.

I will add, though, that you're 100% right.  Cat's are smart.  They're also vengeful.  Start hitting the cat and there will be cat pee *all kinds of places* you never knew a cat could get to.

You'll only teach the cat to stay away from tools when you're around.  If he really likes to pee there, and this is a new behavior, get it to the vet.

I had an issue with one of my cats and just before I turned him in to slippers, I took him to the vet on the off chance something was wrong.  There was.  Young males, (and some females too) develop these crystals in their bladders and it's really irritating to them.  Makes them have to go all the time, and then it hurts when they do.  Think perpetual bladder infection.

Cat's are very good at hiding discomfort as well.  He/she may look perfectly fine and may not be.

As mentioned, cat's are smart.  If there's really nothing wrong with it, this is the way to modify behavior and not have you as part of the process (in the cat's eyes)
