I have kicked a cat! Still no good!

[amadeus]

This reminds me of funny story, that is if you have a sick sense of humour, like me. A school friend told be a story of how two cats would just sit far enough away to tease a dog on a chain, just our reach of the dog but annoying it. So one day the cats were doing the same thing they normally did, but the dog was off the chain. So the cats were no more.

That's about as funny as Jeff Weise coming and putting a shotgun shell into your head.

I always thought you had a sick sense of humor.

I'm not sure about where you live, but here you can go to the humane society, and borrow a cage and some gloves. Then you can catch the cat and give it to the humane society to check out. It may be sick, or need to be neutered, or something.

There's a difference between sick and sadistic.

I'm in (north-east) Tel-Aviv.
I didn't know the English name for it was "humane society"
I would translate it backwards from hebrew as "animals sorry" or perhaps "animals grief"..
They TRY to give the animals away, but the porportions of success are small, especially for adult cats.

The cat is at its' full strength, certainly not ill, but he comes in the house for my cat's milk and other treats if they are there.

The update is that I went to friends after being just a bit at home and still haven't saw the persian (cat) today.

I did buy a simple pressure water gun.
Somewhere between the small guns pics and the demigod cockgun pic..
Price - 10 Shekels (about 2.20 USD).

EDIT :
I've installed my old bad camera on, and this is me now with my "Hyper water pistol" as it is called.
Mind that I HAVE shot an automatic weapon before! (on target marks)

 

[Cheetah]

All right. Tell us how it goes.

 

[newfangle]

Bear spray.

I have a dog so according to the dog owner code all cats must be destroyed.

I suppose people who own a dog *and* a cat must be utterly inscrutable paradoxes, then.

Boogaboo:
Just out of curiosity, what kind of cats do you get in Israel that drink milk? I mean regular milk from a cow?

If I feed cows-milk to my cats (all three of them) they drink it in extacy, but then one of them almost instantaneoulsy pukes it up. The other to go rotten inside and have "accidents" in the other end of the cat. (Yuk...)

Oh, and neutering the problem-cat would prolly do the trick. Make him loose interest...

You could try catching him and driving him to som distant spot and hope he makes a new life for himself there.
But knowing cats maybe Israel just won't be big enough to make that work.

Human hair works, if you spread it around your yard. Unfortunately in this case, it would indiscriminately repel all the cats, including the friendly ones.

You could have just dipped it in a swimming pool and saved $2.

Sick in what way?

Be advised, boogaboo, that it doesn't always work. I know this from experience 'cause I have a persian cat, tornado. Plus, he's big and 11 or 12 years old, and still going quite strong. Once, a few years ago, tornado was about to piss on the wall (he thinks he still has his manly parts attached), and i sprayed him with not one, but two water squirters in my hands. It didn't stop him one bit, and the cat was dripping wet.

If you do squirt it, try aiming between the eyes, like on the nose or something. That might work.

 

[boogaboo]

Well, I have to rearrange my room... noone thought of that, right?

I could only shoot him when he was outside ready to beat another cat, and scared him off a bit.
When I was sleeping and woke up for him.. he was too fast to get out.
I held the gun and when aiming he was already out.

Now I have to rearrange my room so the food will be far and my bed closer to his escape route.
I also feel a bit bad with my throat for a day.. which is depressing.

If you do squirt it, try aiming between the eyes, like on the nose or something. That might work.

This is something I plan to do after rearranging the room tomorrow.

Well, I think.. regular cross-cross-cross-breeds.. street cats..
I give the pregnant cat 3% fat cow-milk, yes, hoping she can turn it into kitten milk.. she likes it for weeks now, and she goes out to do her stuff, so I don't know how it comes out.. milk is bad??

I also think it will be very hard to catch this cat, or any street cat that don't get close to people.
I also don't want to make it a trauma for him..
This IS his home town..

Thats the right attitude Look, he's clearly the Alpha male of the area, making him lose face in front of his tribe isnt a good idea. Try befriending him, invite him into the house and give him all the food he wants. Being friends with the head cat in the neighborhood will raise your status among the cats

Error detected!
I'm trying to kick him out without pain..
He's the alpha cat, but I'm already a high status robinhood, known to defend any cat from his monstrosity!
Being friends with him will only make him try more often and beat other cats undisturbed.

No - I will show him he can do many things, only when it is out of MY territory.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Ahh I see, youre battling toe to toe for the alpha position! Ok But in that case, Im betting on the cat. Havent you ever seen the old cartoons? The cat always wins

 

[Elrohir]

Just buy one of those huge supersoakers with the backpack bottles on them, and once it comes in, blast it in the face full power, then keep blasting it until it goes away. Keep the supersoaker handy because it will come back again, but if you really get it good it'll eventually stop coming.

I consider myself somewhat of a ... delta male for females ("yeah, ok, I'll be with all the rest then I'll make you a child to pay for"), but with this cat I'm entitled for a fair WAR (Weapon of Artillery Range vs Wand of Agility and Risktaking??).

If I could only give the pregnant cat the watergun...
I'm finally stoned enough not to care for my throat condition...
God probably says to himself "This guy? Cancer." and start peeling off leaves from flowers "throat cancer", "lung cancer"

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Nahh, dont worry boogaboo, youve got much more to worry about from this cat than you do from god

If you dont want to pay to have him fixed, your only chance is to use a little human psychology on him. You'll never beat him at martial arts, cats have a very high Dex. Put the pregnant cat in one room and invite Alphaboy in occasionally for some food and petting, he'll become a buddy instead of an adversary. He needs friendship, thats why he's so mean to the other cats.

(oh brother, Im really losing it! Now Im psychoanalyzing street cats in Israel! )
