The good, the bad and the poop.

The good thing about having a cat who lives on TOP of your screen??? 

No hair on the outdoor furniture.

The bad thing about having a cat live on top of your screen?
The cat thinks the screen is it's home, and part of that home is a litter box.
 Yes, that is poop on top of the pool cage. Ain't that a pretty sight?


My friend Kelly was here this weekend, and she aptly named the cat; Screen.

Screen is kinda making me nuts. Screen still won't let any of us near it. Screen is a feral cat.

I have two choices and I'm not thrilled with either choice....I've got to get this Screen situation under some sort of {poop} control. 


Anyone poop in inappropriate places at your place this weekend?

  2. Now that's just nasty!
    You should totally take a hose to that cat(and the poop)! Because if he's pooping up there, you know that he must be peeing too. And when you're out there, it may not be rain drops that you're feeling. I would suggest carrying around an umbrella at all times. Unless of course you're into Golden Showers.

  7. Oh, that's funny, but it would drive me nuts! Goodness, what do you do with a feral cat?! I'm so sorry, hope you come up with something brilliant, and wish I could help. Keep us posted.

  8. Hmmm. I wonder where the pee is going? You do have your screen full.

    All that sort of thing was where it belonged this weekend, at our house (thanks for asking)!

    I hope that little feral sweetie will be safely moved to a more appropriate dwelling. What a crazy place to choose to roost - safe from predators on the ground, but what about hawks?

  9. Um yeah. With Olive. All over the house. Even after she's been outside for hours, sun bathing. She comes in and makes me an unhappy momma.

    Yeah, that cat would make me madazell.

  11. Oh that is nasty! I'd be "offering" that kitty a wee bath...with the hose:)

  12. Screen is a very appropriate name for this cat, but I can understand why he has to leave. If there is no better solution in mind, I'd say try the hose as well.

  13. Another vote for using a HOSE!

  14. Are you sure that cat isn't part bird? That's really gross...and to answer your question, NO....no poop where it doesn't belong here...and I had 4 pets here this weekend. :)

  15. that cat is not only feral, it's certifiably insane. Hose it down every time it gets up there and perhaps it will learn how to behave. Or not.
    Look forward to hearing what happens next.

  16. I certainly hope there was no inappropriate poo around here....but I never know!!
    I hope you can figure out a way to take care of your poo problem. I'm pretty sure I know how the boys around here would take care of it......

  17. I like the hose idea. Though maybe a pressure sprayer would be better?

  18. UM NOPE, but I did find that a bird had a tummy problem as he flew past our patio over the weekend and left us some green spots....yuck

  19. My guess is you may have come up with a solution by today - - but I am thinking the cat likes you all or wouldn't stay so close where it can see and hear you all the time. Screen really wants love but is scared to receive it. Obviously it is getting down and getting food from somewhere due to the evidence.
    One of our cats was feral for a couple of years. It ended up with injuries from a fight and we did a live catch with it using food. We took Ginger Ale to the vet - - warned the vet about him. They put Ginger Ale in surgery - - - cleaned him up and removed "some parts". He is a docile thing now - - - one of our most contented and loving pets!

  20. Go ahead...you have to call animal control. Stay inside and let them do what they need to do. That cat is NOT your responsibility. Keep repeating that.
