The following article is documentation on my Personal experience with finding out my apartment had become infested with Cats. Hopefully this can be used as a reference guide for any of your own concerns or situations involving Cats. It doesn’t have to be the end of the world – it just takes some getting used to. This ordeal has cost me a lot of stress, time, and money. But if I’d had a little perspective I may have had an easier go. Anyway read on!
A couple of days ago these big sort of curious animals showed up in my apartment. They have pointy ears and long tails and sort of stare at you. I freaked out and immediately called an exterminator. He arrived a little later (I waited at the cafe near my home) and sure enough he told me I did indeed have Cats. Turns out the little critters can show up for no reason at all, and once you have them it’s near impossible to get rid of them. In Fact most people just end up living with them. I am lucky I only have two, and got them “fixed” (like you would a dog) before they reproduced. Apparently they can be quite affectionate and demand to be pet by your hands. They are really hard to kill and prone to procreation – so it ends up being easier in the long run for most people to ley them stay. They sell a special kind of food for them at most supermarkets, because if you have Cats they will cry and destroy your things if you don’t feed them. I’m really grossed out and I’m hoping they will die or move along to another apartment, but from what I have been told – they are most likely here to stay. It seems ridiulous to me that they can’t just treat my apartment for Cats but that’s what Two exterminators told me. Plus Landlords don’t even have to pay for Cat Extermination. I guess one way some people attempt to get rid of them is by sprinkling the things with something called “catnip” they just sort of start behaving weird and acting goofy -the idea is theyll be distracted so you can crush them. I however tried catnip and what i saw horrified me so i am not going to reccomend that for the feint of heart. I’ve attached some photos for you of what they look like – CHECK YOUR APARTMENT ASAP. These things are everywhere in the City right now and it seems almost nothing you can do will prevent them. However check your cupboards to make sure one isn’t hiding – they are very curious things and love little nooks. If you do see one, don’t freak out like I did – it isn’t worth it. They are as expensive as everyone says and they are basically permanent until they die (they can live for around 20 years!) and if you don’t just take care of them they will make your life a living Hell. It’s a little controversial but you must get them “fixed”. Now I know it’s a little embaressing but call your local veterinarien and see if they fix Cats. A lot of them won’t but if you’re lucky there will be one in your area who will. Call around and get it done or you’ll have a much more serious problem than you did before. Good luck and I hope this message will save you stress, time, and money!
