Honestly. You lot at times!! I'm ashamed to be associated with you.

Good luck and I hope you can get something sorted.

Yeah, a Vet.

There are other alternatives to the problem. When we had a problem with a feral tom who would come through our cat flap and spray

We use a magnetic cat flap which can only be opened by the presence of a magnet attached to our cat's collar.

None of the neighbours' cats can get in, although some have tried. I suppose if any were also wearing a similar magnet they'd manage it, though.

well if you want to go down chemical supplies route, it is actually called sodium hydrogen carbonate. (NaHCO3)

Yes, those are a good idea. Only problem is that we have had problems with our cats and their collars.

Current kitty is a Houdini standard escapologist, who somehow dumps collars like his life depends on it. Last one was destroyed after he managed to remove it and leave it lying on the neighbour's lawn. The lawnmower guaranteed that he would never have to wear it again.

Other cats we've had have had major sulks, like only cats can, until the offending item was removed from their person.

We always start out with collars after adopting them from the home in case they go AWOL having been billeted with us in an alien environment. Good intentions never last long though.

And not KCN!!

As for magnetic catflaps, we have out cat chipped and use a sureflap to eliminate unwanted intruders.

huh? do you mean NPK?? (Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium)

key fertiliser elements.

Try a local pool/spa/hot tub distributor. 25Kg Sodium bicarbonate bags should be about £25, used for water treatment.

Nope - potassium cyanide, which would be LMB's preference

ahhh I see. doubt you could buy KCN or NaCN
... bit toxic ya know

I thought that looked an excellent product...
...until I looked at the price.

Actually, our cat isn't chipped. We've had him for almost 18 years and he's never shown any sign of running away or getting lost. He knows on which side his bread's buttered, you see.

True. But we originally had two cats, neither of which seemed particularly keen on wearing collars. So we opted for this.
