Isn't that the truth?
Sorry. Anyway...
My county has a lot of feral cats. We feel the need to take them in and give them a good life, but my dad won't keep one in the house. So we let them stay in our barn. We feed them as much as they want to eat, and we make sure they get proper vet care and attention and such. Currently, we have 6 kittens: Marshall, Jethro, Fez, Hyde, Kelso, and Hoot. They're the best, and I love them so much! If anything happened to them, I would find whoever hurt them and smack them 6 ways to Sunday. Which is why I'm here.
My kittens are dumb.
Now, I don't mean curious. I mean about as smart as a box of rocks. Homer Simpson- No, Ralph Wiggum- as cats (The simpsons characters, for those of you who don't know). Except Hoot, she's smarter than the average bear (Yogi Bear reference right there, if you didn't catch it).
For fun, they like to climb on tires, in beds, and on cabs. For comfort, they like to sleep under vehicles. We've had them for months now and they haven't gotten hurt yet, but it's only a matter of time.
For now, we have signs telling barn guests to check under their vehicles, in their cabs, beds, and trailers, and on their axles. We also encourage people (and we do this ourselves) to just inch out of the parking lot at first, as to scare out the kittens who might be under there.
Now, this is getting ridiculous. There's always a few people who don't do this, likely because they didn't see the signs. It might be those people who end up killing them, and I don't want that to happen. I love my little kittens. So is there a way to teach them to just stay away from vehicles?
