Cats generally are nocturnal, and at night all cats think they're panthers. We have a stray that moved in with us two years ago. She sometimes jumps into our bed but never scratches us. She did, however, like to scratch the wife's expensive Thomasville furniture. No more. Just a few squirts from a water bottle and she wants no part of furniture scratching. We also got her a cardboard scratch pad from Wally World. It cost about $10.00 but worth it cuz cats need to scratch.

May seem like a PITA but since she moved in we've gotten rid of our mouse/rat problems. Just as cats want no part of squirt guns, rodents want no part of houses with cats (not to be confused with cat houses). So, I figure the cat is earning her board and keep.

Thanks - I've just been reading the forums trying to get a feel for the PSD and what problems they have. Presently driving an 04 GMC 2500 gasser, previous truck was a 2000 F350 V10, and before that a 98 Explorer. I won't be able to get the PSD until next May, but that will give me a chance to see if the new engine is reliable. (I really hate blown head gaskets, injectors that go south, and general oil and coolant leaks). Also, I'll have time to see if I can get used to the new SD body. I've seen pix of the new Chevys and they're but-ugly too. One more problem that I might have is that I absolutely don't want an auto tranny and no dealer in my area has a manual tranny. Anyway, thanks again for the welcome.

well 08 SD have the headlights upside down thats the only big change i see astecticly but they will be running a new 6.4 L twin turbo!!!!!

Wish I could swing an 06 but they'll likely be gone by May, 07. Especially since I insist on a manual tranny. The upside down headlights and the squared grill will take some getting used to but as long as the engine proves not to be flakey, I'll be going with the PSD. I really liked my Y2K F350, roomier interior and the V10 was bullet proof reliable. Had 56K miles when I traded it and never saw the dealer from the time I bought it. I forgot, I did take it in for a tranny oil change. Main reason I traded it in was I discovered it was made in Mexico (VIN number began with "3"). That really burnt me up. I felt cheated. It was 4x4 SRW with the manual transfer case. The electric Xfr-case on my GMC is cool, but I know some day that the electronic controller will go south.

Have a great 4th of July,
John

The Squirt Gun works.

Our Cat (Bob) & Dog (Burt) are well aware of my Squirt Gun. They have both been trained by it. It's an "Association" thing:

For Bob: Attack anything ? Get Squirted.... Big Time.

For Burt: Go Psyco cuz the Door Bell rings ? git Nailed... Big, Big Time.

After a Crash Course in Aqua Animal Behaviour Modification.... When they feel the need, or wanta.... Bob takes his Ring-Tailed azz out back, and attacks something/anything, but not us. Door Bell rings ? Burt haulz his little Pure Breed (Kinardly) azz out back'n barks at something/anything, but not the UPS guy.

All is quiet and peacefull IN-SIDE the Casa de Big Joe. Day & Nite

I load it, show it to'm.... they go to the places they like and "Chill", all the while, keep'n an occational eye on the Squirt gun.

Works well in the RV too.

THATS FUNNY!!!!!

here's one way to get the cat to quiet down, dig a hole in the ground just big enough for the cats body and leave its head above ground, get on the lawnmower and . . . . . . . . . . ., well, you get the picture.

Maybe try getting a second cat to keep the first one occupied. Should be the same sex so you won't have kittens every six months, and younger so the first one won't have to fight to retain its alpha position.
