Cat Problems

[KinderMojo]

Don't get me wrong, I love cats and have 5 so far..

But I'm having problems with street cats sleeping in the JL when it's stripped..

Tried the rear netting, no luck.. tried the car cover, no luck... they seem to really love the JL.. keep waking up to their grubby lil paw prints all over the seats.. don't mind the sleeping but just scared if they pee..

Wondering if anyone had similar issues and how they rectified the problem

Make sure you don't have mice/rats around they could be bringing the cats in.

Why don't you just get a tarp and cover the Jeep?

In my experience, cats won't pee on your seats if they're sleeping there.
@KinderMojo have you looked at Dirty Dog netting?

that’s always been my motto, don’t shit where you eat ,and don’t pee where you sleep.......... I can probably rent out Colby, she’s very protective of the Jeep and only sleeps on the outside of it.

Hope they don't bring fleas.

I dont have this issue, but wonder if just a tighter fitting cover would help.

Would this keep them out?

Good point... out cat gets treated every 2 months and the wife is really diligent about treating the yard, but if it’s strays sleeping in there, most likely they’ll have them unless it’s to cold.

edit: I just looked where op is from, being to cold, not applicable....

Oh fleas. Yeap. They won't pee in your Jeep. Cats are very clean animals, it is their main line of defense, they always hide their pee and do it far from where they rest so other predators can't find them. Unless they have a UTI or kidney stones, in that case they might pee around.

But yeah fleas is your main concern, and those things are nasty. I had a feral cat sleeping/living in our California semi-open basement and it was great because it kept rats and mice away, but I started noticing I was getting too many "mosquito bites" on my ankles and the itchiness was unbearable any time I went to the basement to get something. Obviously it was fleas and not mosquitoes. Nasty.

Bad news is, when it warms up and fleas start reproducing you will have fleas in the Jeep and they will bite you . Good news, fleas need a host to survive, and humans ARE NOT hosts, so if you remove the hosts the fleas will eventually die out. So you need to get yourself a cover ASAP and cover your Jeep, if you have fleas in it now don't worry, they'll die. Just make sure if you have pets you treat them, because even though we are not hosts a flea can try to be on you for a few hours and you can bring them in the house, if they find your furry pet, they will infest your house. All feral cats suffer from fleas, so if you don't want to cover your Jeep you're gonna have to trap them and treat them which is what we did with the feline living in our basement.

you should be so lucky as to have furbabies in your Jeep.

The life cycle of fleas is several months. "Undisturbed, and without a blood meal, a flea can live more than 100 days" . A good reason to keep your Jeep cat free...
