Provided they don’t have any pets of their own, find some extra hot cayenne pepper powder. Sprinkle that all over, where you don’t want the cat. It’ll get on the pads of the feel and it’ll burn. It’ll lick it off, which will burn the tongue. If it sniffs the ground, it’ll inhale and it’ll burn.

Long and short, cats aren’t stupid. If it gets a good scorching from cayenne, it won’t come back.

Wondering cat?



Most of the options we take for granted probably won't work with these people in this living situation. I used to throw pebbles or gravel at cats fighting or fucking (with cats there's a great deal of overlap) outside while yelling "SCAT!" But elderly people may not have much of a throwing arm. Similarly, one can't just go to the sporting goods store and buy coyote urine.

Since it appears to be a roving male cat the "shovel and shut-up" are definite. How you arrive at that point depends on what you think you can get away with quietly. Unfortunately, this is one of those situations where destroying the cat is about the only viable solution.

This seems like an easy fix.

The cat is motivated by food and sex. Get rid of those options and the cat will go elsewhere.

He's already got a wondering cat.

A wondering boa adds far too much confusion.

Almost as bad a daydreaming python.

Shoot... shovel... shut up... or so I've heard.


Seeing as they are in the ghetto, wouldn't shoot, saute and shut up be more appropriate?

Stuff disappears all the time, what happened to Jimmy Hoffa?

I actually take it easy on cats around here, they can dance with the coyotes. Two can keep a secret if one is deceased.

I can play an ‘O J’ if needed, wife & all. ‘I know nothing’.

Well, i found a life size John Cleese cardboard cutout online but not sure they ship to Argentina and honestly doubt it will work.

The “Make it ...” post is a horrible idea. That remedy is non-selective and endangers any dog or cat in the area. I have issue at all with the air rifle idea, but that idea sucks.

‘Visiting and peeing in the house’? The easy solution is to lock, close, or fence the door, no outside food.
