Bonibelle:
I posted a few days ago about this poor kitty that I have been feeding in my greenhouse. The kitty was shy and scared to even come near me for quite a while. It was pathetically thin and dirty. Kitty started warming up and would cautiously run to us when we went out the back door. Then the silly kitty started hanging out on my pool cover, playing in the little bit of water under the leaf net.

My dog wants desperately to eat the kitty :-/...and today that darn cat went a bit too far.


It discovered the hot tub...So what is it about cats anyway?? After rolling over and rubbing all over the hot tub cover, it dug it's nails into the vinyl..poking little holes :o
Hey you cat people...what's up with this crazy feline? Now I have to figure a way to keep it off the tub cover..any ideas?  It has also figured out how to get onto the roof!

Campsalot:
Bonibelle, go to your local pet store and get some of this paper stuff (I don't know what it is called) and place it on your cover.  The stuff has a sticky face and when the cat jumps on it he/she will stick.  Kind of like animal fly paper accept they don't stay stuck. It annoys the heck out of them and thy learn!

Bonibelle:
Thanks Campsalot, does it stick on both sides or just on the "up" side?
I know all this kitty wants is a family and some love, but I can't have holes in the cover. I sealed the little holes with fingernail polish until I think of a better remedy..
I made the cat a little house and a bed in my greenhouse, but it seems to be fearlessly hanging around my back door..oh and on the roof..Is that a typical kitty thing too?

Vinny:
You did say your dog wanted it ... Here kitty, kitty, kitty!  ;)

As far as the holes, they sell clear silicone and it may be the thing to seal tiny holes. As long as you're careful with it AND WEAR RUBBER GLOVES, it isn't too bad.

Bonibelle:
Great idea Vinny, it's the stuff I use for my fish tank right?  Smells like acidic acid?...It will probably look awlful but I am afraid of leaks into the cover. The cat just dug right in and pulled on the vinyl  :o I am going to get that sticky stuff because as long as it doesn't wreck my tub cover, it can hang out and chase my chipmunks! ;D
