Found from an article on how to keep cats out of a garden

Cats are generally known to dislike water so a well aimed bucketful or a squirt with the hose will certainly make an intruder run. After one or two dousings it may learn the lesson and stay away.

To protect plants and borders both mothballs and citrus are said to be effective deterrents. Place the mothballs, orange peel or lemon rind in the borders. Alternatively spray cloths with orange scented air freshener and place the cloths around the plants you wish to protect. Other known cat repellents are cayenne pepper, coffee grounds, pipe tobacco, lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, eucalyptus oil and mustard oil.

I suppose you could try wiping down your bike with a citrus based cleaner (you prolly need to wash it anyway).

Try going to a pet store and tell them you've got a cat you need to keep away from your couch (you might want to avoid the "cat pee on my bike" story for risk of being laughed at by some pimple faced kid behind the counter). I know there are certain spray cans with stuff that keeps pets away from your belongings. I'm pretty sure that will deter them for a while. You'll have to do this regularly though...


Alternatively, if you're handy in the electronics department (or have a good friend that knows his way around in electrics): hook up a garden sprinkler system to one of those motion sensors that usually trigger driveway lights. Instead of putting in a light bulb, connect the live wire of the sprinkler system to the relay controlling the lamp socket (make sure it is watertight and that no live wires are showing and that there's a decent fuse to avoid possible shorting out). the ground wire must also be connected properly. Leave the water on, set your sprinkler system near your bike and when those cats get near it, they'll get the idea soon enough! :rolleyes If you're not able to do this, get a sprinkler that has an interval timer built in...

You might want to make sure to turn that off in the morning though, unless you want a second shower :biggrin

Hope this helps... (it's also really fun to play practical jokes on your friends with :biggrin )

 

maybe if you put a bike cover over it they might not be able to jump on it any more.

 

iss haha!

 

Let a bowl of anti-freeze keep your bike company for a night. Problem solved.

Heeeeeeere kitty kitty kitty!:lol


I live in the country and had the same prob. Did the anti-freeze thing. Works well, but they die a horrible slow death. I found it more humane to just splatter the little bastards with the trusty desert eagle .44

 

sounds like one pussy is marking his territory for antoher pussy


:lol

 

Ruger 77/22 with some CB shorts works wonders as a feline repellant. (I don`t live in the country anymore so had to downsize from my preferrred feline finalizer, a shorty AR. heheh)

 

Skizitgsxr, lol at the avatar, that just made my day (well, evening anyway) !!!!

 

That sucks man, I have two cats. one who loves to claw leather, so I have to keep my boots, gloves, ect. out of his reach. I thought my seat would be attractive to him but they haven't touched my bike, I think they know it's mine and I'll murder them if I come out one day and don't have a whole seat any more. I did get rid of my wasp problem though by keeping a cover on it. Good luck man.

 

i had the same problem but the cat was pissing on my brand new polished rims on my car, so one night a friend and i were in the garage and the piece of shit walked up to the car and pissed followed by a pop-pop. no more problem but you need to use .22 shorts or an air rifle so you don't have any issues with the local law enforcement.

 

that sucks i hate the smell of cat piss

 

that sucks i hate the smell of cat piss

cat piss is nasty.... cat piss next on hot manifold header, it cant be explained in words..

 

I don't know if I am the only victim of this...

I usually park my bike indoors for security reasons, however for the couple of hours that my bike sits outdoors it becomes the target for many of the stray cats in my neighborhood. :mad On several different occasions, I have walked out to my bike, start it up, and to my dismay, smell the putrid odor of warming cat piss. (Talk about a smell that lingers)
I was wondering if there is someway (other than a shotgun) that I can keep these cats from turning my bike into a smell totem pole for the rest of the neighborhood cats. I don't think its just one cat, but a couple of them. I love animals, and don't want to permanently harm or kill these cats, but it sucks to pull up to your riding buddies smelling like melting piss!

NEED HELP AND SUPPORT!!!

Heh, heh. Oh, yeah!

 

Get a live trap. Don't know where you are, but in Indiana, it's illegal to let a cat roam free. Trap the little bastards and call animal control to come get them. The owners might not be too happy with you, but that's their problem.

I keep an airsoft (nothing soft about it) gun by my door. It's pretty sporting, cats are QUICK.
