I'm keeping the valk outside with a cover on her until I finish the shed. Problem is , I've been finding paw prints on the seats and tank. I think it's the feral cats my wife has been feeding. Any suggestions on how to repel the critters. I know what you're thinking, but, I can't get rid of my wife!
I put a bungee cord over the cover to hold it down across the seat so they do not find it so comfortable. To further dissuade the cats and other critters I put a couple of mini t-rex mouse traps on the seat, valve covers, and on my gages. They are small enough not to really hurt the cat but after a couple of times, they will stay away.
If the cat that was camping out under my bike cover was not my best mouser, I would have turned him into a sporran a long time ago. His latest trick is to bring his nightly hunting results back into the house with him. Voles, mice, birds, and once even a baby rabbit. Every one of them still very much alive.
Then there was the rooster that found a comfortable spot on top of the house-mate's bike.
We had chicken soup the next night.
