zed240 Posted July 30, 2014 I stood this little, (~30cm), scop back up because someones little shit of a cat has been in the garden and knocked it over. I found some little paw prints in the dirt going past it. I guess cause this one had no spines the cat just brushed up against it. I've found some tufts of hair on another cacti in this planter box before. I think a neighbors cat must like to walk through it. Never found any poop though, (yet). Anyone got a good way to keep the little bastards, (cats), from walking through the planter box? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naja naja Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I have found also .22 magnum rifles most effective at preventing cats from re offending. Just make sure that when they underneith your car that the tyre is not behind the cat. Edited July 30, 2014 by naja naja Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DiscoStu Posted July 30, 2014 Citrus is a strong cat repellent, so try scattering orange or lemon peels around your plants. Bloodmeal will repel some cats, as will ammonia. Fill small jars with household ammonia, then poke a few holes in the lids before sealing the jars and partially burying them in the garden, refilling as the ammonia evaporates. The smell of ammonia will make most cats think that the garden is another cat's territory and they'll tend to stay away. There are also products available that, to a cat, smell like predator urine. If a cat thinks a fox, coyote or bobcat has been visiting your garden, the cat will stay away from the area. i have no idea if this works. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I wouldnt shoot a cat (probably) but I would shoot a magpie... but I dont even own an airgun thankfully the magpies only did damage one year... I have heard maybe here that you can order "cugar piss" online and that repels cats... Edited July 30, 2014 by mutant 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted July 30, 2014 I have found also .22 magnum rifles most effective at preventing cats from re offending. Just make sure that when they underneith your car that the tyre is not behind the cat. It works for teenagers too. I didnt even have to fire the gun, just sat there cleaning a high powered assault rifle with integral grenade launcher as school let out. Little punk bitches stopped bothering my dog and I've never had a cactus stolen. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted July 30, 2014 What I do for unwanted cats is I get my air riffle, grab a Q-tip, pull off any excess cotton so it can fit in the barrel, put a little wd-40 on the cotton, cock the riffle and shoot the cat. This will leave a horribly painfull memory for the cat of being your garden, but it wont die. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted July 30, 2014 Oh man, would love to have an Anti-Hog Rifle with grenade thrower too. But yeah, please dont hurt cats. They are furry little balls of joy.Or in my case...shit. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djmattz0r Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Had been away on vacation and came home to some stuff I had received while I was away, was quite nice. The friend who took care of my plants did an okay job.. I lost a few things to rot, some stuff I caught right as it was going bad. Had a lot of rain while I was gone, trying to salvage a this Kimnach cutting at the moment.. pretty gross... I also grabbed a couple new things today at the shop. Ortegocactus Macdougallii Pelecyphora aselliformis - the tag is not my writing lol TBM clone-B Building a seedling prop box/shelf soon to house all the varieties of seeds I have at the moment Edited July 31, 2014 by djmattz0r 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mutant Posted July 31, 2014 "What I do for unwanted cats is I get my air riffle....." see EG ?? those americans again!! gun fanatics.... they took the films too literally.... which makes it appropriate when one us teenager kills some 50 kids and teachers in a school. got an unwanted X in your yard? damn, shoot the fucker! PS: I am with EG, dont shoot cats... even when they fuck up your lophos, they just did it because they thought it was fun to stick their claws in there... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted July 31, 2014 I cant speak for hostilis, but I am not a fanatic. I only have 23 guns. Fanatics have at least 25. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hostilis Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) You jump right to the nationalism bull shit (which it seems that almost everyone does when they hear I'm American, even though they don't really know me and my opinions) And by the way, what I just described doesn't hurt the cat. Do you even know what an air rifle is? It's basically a toy. My friends and I used to shoot each other with the Q-tip trick as kids. How else am I going to stop the other cats from going into my house, pissing everywhere, fucking up my grow room, and steeling my cat's food. Should I love them to death? Give them tons of hugs and kisses in the hopes that they'll stop? By the way, I have a cat door. So they like to walk in through that. But I wont close it cause then my cat's are stuck inside all the time and they love it outdoors. Edited July 31, 2014 by hostilis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philocacti Posted July 31, 2014 hostilis I think mutant was joking and teasing Eg. Don't take everything too personal man we're on the net. Nationality is almost an illusion man. We're all the same as humans. We want to control everything around unto feel significant. So half of us are obsessed by killing and the other half is obsessed by preserving. At the end we do what we do to feel significant and to give our life some sort of purpose. Cheer up man 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmattz0r Posted July 31, 2014 So is that what taxidermists are? An attempt to kill and preserve at the same time? ;) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted July 31, 2014 Found an infected pup that led my knife straight to core rot on a SS02 X Kimuras Giant Interestingly I've been feeding all my trichs with a deluge of low salt hippie piss + beans n rice soaking water, diluted to 1/10th, every day for the last 3 months and not counting a few stressed 1-2 cm seedlings this is the only instance of rot so far. Thus, this girl is on her way to darwins compost pile. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowfella Posted August 1, 2014 Haven't really done anything to my plants for months now, apart from some light weeding here and there. It's winter so I'm 100% leaving them to their own devises. Went out today though and shot a few photos. A year and a half worth of growth, can't complain much. Feb, 2013 Today M. compressa cluster in my older bed is starting it's first flowers for the season. M. mystax has it beat hands down. Neighboring E. terscheckii is finally starting to put on some height rather than just girth. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Are you afreaid for this mammi, snowfella? You jump right to the nationalism bull shit (which it seems that almost everyone does when they hear I'm American, even though they don't really know me and my opinions) well it seems that if everyone thinks like that, its not my problem, its yours, and its not nationalism anyways. Its reverse nationalism at best.. And it seems you americans are stuck with it... Who can say you dont reserve it? you seem unable to even face the anti-americanism phenomenon all over the world with humour, you probably even wonder why this is the case, the ones who can still wonder and think besides I got a nice sample of opinions: a horribly painful memory that doesnt hurt (lol) and air riffles are "basically toys" .... well man real guns are also toys where you are... kids usually use them to kill their classmates... I also know that air rifles are usually more powerful than pistol shaped ones with compressed CO2, and using the proper metal shit, they can kill cats, birds and easily blind a man. These air-riffle guns are awesome!! For killing magpies though, not cats... And the people I know who have them certainly dont see them as toys, but as guns. Well maybe your own is indeed a toy, that's why it doesn't hurt the cats... My friends and I used to shoot each other with the Q-tip trick as kids. no horribly painful memory? well go figure, you use an arguement about how you used air riffles to shoot each other when kids, to argue about how its okey to shoot cats... it seems to make sense, at first... does the cat bleed? do you still have the same gun you had as a kid?? same power? maybe it hurts more now... Do you really have more than 25 guns?? Edited August 1, 2014 by mutant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowfella Posted August 1, 2014 Are you afreaid for this mammi, snowfella? Nah, these 2 have lived happily where they are for a few years now with no ill effect from weather. Put them in the size of pingpong balls in 2011 and since then they have lifed through heatwaves and light frosts and just kept on ticking. Compressa back then And the Tricho The mystax went in at a later date after an echeveria I had in that spot was burnt to a crisp on a warm day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
