Cats

If you want to follow Windyfarms suggestion, there is a thing called a scat mat that gives a mild shock. It's for teaching cats to stay off the counter and dogs to stay off the sofa.

It's probably not rated for outside, but should be OK if you have a covered porch. It's small, but all you need is for them to stay away from a very small area in front of the door.

Have your wife put any cat edibles in a container on the counter, and YOU take it out to the barn and give it to the cats as often as need be. If this don't sound practical you could throw a glass of cold water on both your wife and the cats when she feeds them at the door. Please let us know how that goes for you! LOL

This is very funny

That's terrible, the worst! I can imagine how you felt. Steal my computer, my car, my books even but not my pets

That woman... people like that are beyond words.

We had a client with one of these on the couch. Worked great for the cat and then one day DH sat on it, too.

I think it was set on "high." LOL.
