Get a dozen lemons, cut them in two and squeeze the juice around the garage, leave the squeezed lemons lying around too.

Cats hate the acidic smell of lemon juice. It works!

My cat likes OJ and Lemonade So this is a myth.

So how do you deal with the ants and other insects after the lemons lying around?

They are fixed and have been for like 6 years and there are clean litter boxes they just ignore them.

I've had a couple of cats that I really loved but as a species I just can't cotton to how arrogant they are. They only get petted when THEY want to, they destroy furniture, they **** and poop like a f'n factory, and I'm allergic to their dander.

I'm not a hater, just don't find them to be very friendly.

I live in the country and have two cats to keep the rats away. The rats would build dens on the motors and would ruin the wiring and vac. hoses. The cats do their job but walk all over my 3 corvette's. I have the cars inside a garage but a 32' door is almost out of the question. If there is an ole wise tale about keeping them off the cars I would luv to know it.

Run some strips of clear shipping tape upside down (sticky side up) along the vette from nose to tail. When the cat hops on the vehicle he/she will get tape on his/her paws and will freak out, never to return.

Cats are too sneaky and unpredictable! They seem to do stuff out of spite, like laying on the hood of your car looking at you purring..... Stupid Cats. They have a place, not sure where, but on my car isn't it!

Although they are funny to play with, as said previously, put tape on their paws and watch that fiasco....

What really pisses me off is that cat owners leave the cats outside and they **** on/destroy other people's property. I can't tell you how many scratches I get on my truck from cats trying to climb up on a wet vehicle. They also **** in your garden and bury **** on your lawn. You never see it until after you step in it.

Notice to cat owners: You own a cat, keep it in your own yard.

If your cat damages property such as a vehicle, you are responsible for damages.

We have a leash law. You can't put a leash on your cat? Keep it in your house.

to o.p.:

you need to back up and look at this from another perspective.

volunteer at an animal shelter or a homeless shelter or a nursing home and maybe you would see this is not such a big deal.
