Default So, there was a stray cat living under my bike cover.

My bike lives in my building's alleyway and tonight I unlocked and pulled the cover up and saw a cat's butt sitting between the tank and handlebar. Kinda scared me but I have a cat and I am used to cats in weird places. Any tips on how to prevent cats from squatting there on cold winter nights?

Upside is, no mice.

Downside, if that thing craps or pees in there, you may as well burn the bike.

How about simply adopting the cat.. couches make better resting spots for them than Hondas

At least kitty wasn't trying to take off with your bike

PS: Stray or not cats like to seat around warm stuff - under my bike when it's cooling for example - have no problems with it...

On the plus side if somebody tries to steal the bike the may give up when they see something furry under the cover.
