Lisa, I'll lend you me Dobie for a weekend. Your cat will either learn respect or leave home. Furthermore, what the bl00dy hell is your bike doing in the kitchen?
You can push it uphill - you can get it upstairs into the bedroom. Make an effort - you know it makes sense. :P
Wow Mr Creosote!!!!!! Welcome and thanks!!! I have tried stacks of those remedies...I think I am just gonna have to put up with him and get a waterproof cover!
Lisa, Some cats change and some don't as mentioined in that long post above. Someone mentioned I must have been crazy to newspaper everything (wasn'tme, was my girlfriend) but that was the only way to keep **** off everything. We tried all kinds of remedies, none of which worked. Cat couldn't be let outside because of all the strays in the area ready to do battle. Washing to get rid of the smell right after a shot was great work but didn't work. I saw in that post that cats like things such as electrical goods to aim at.....so true! Anyway, with the emotional attachment involved it would have been very hard for me to bring my Mauser out and solve the problem. So, anything of value was covered with newspapers, usually up to knee level. I just waited for the good ole boy to pass away, but he lived for 15 years!
