Curious as to how you're dealing with that. Our little girl is way too interested in our cats, even after more than a week. I'm not sure how to handle it!
Dash is a big boy, my cats wouldnt stand a chance if he ever got to them.
They are inside/outside cats, and are devastated they can no longer go out the back.
When he is inside I either put them out the front or in another room with the door closed.
I have told my sons repeatedly that Dash will eat the cats if he gets near them. They understand that only Mummy can let Dash in and the cats have to be put away when he is inside.
I feel bad for the my Saxon and Julie, I havnt seen them as much since Dash became part of the family. I think they are punishing me.

HeyJude - Congrats on Stella, she's beautiful.
Neighbor's dog (Collie) used to visit and adored one of our cats (who had razor claws.) The cat would jump on the table, the dog would put his head up over the table to meet and greet. The cat kept his claws in and hit the dog over the head hard enough to bounce his chin on the table, but never scratched him. The dog would stay for 10+ bounces then move off to speak to another cat.
And you thought I'd gone away.
French Maiden do you have a hose pipe? If so try squirting white cat with water the next time s/he is on your property. A short sharp squirt might be enough to discourage her from visiting again.
It stopped calling after about a month.
Thanks HJ. I shouldn't be this excited over a computer, but hehehehehehehe!
That is one stubborn cat! Most would give it up after one or two soakings!
Here is a pic of the spotted genet. This photo is almost exactly how it looked from my patio.
I don't think Ming was in any danger as genets are not aggressive by nature. They are thieves, though, so I make a point of not leaving any food outside.
No monkeys in Johannesburg (aside from the politicians) but you get lots of them along our east and south coast.
FrenchMaiden, Dash is effectively coming back from being in bed for six months. Before you know it he'll be charging the world. I suggest looking for a no tug harness. It worked with the pit bull, who when I'd speed up to match her would go just a little faster.
Choke collar meant nothing to her, she was happy to drag me up a hill ( I was flat on the ground holding onto the leash attached to the choke collar and she was six months old. She wasn't even breathing hard at the top of the hill.)
