Take your shoes off, wear your pajamas (with those stains you mentioned) with no shirt so that your well manicured chest hair and waxed back are negating the wind, and truck on down the road....no problem.

Lift up on the door while you close it, hard. It will shut securely. Then get in on the opposite side.

I tried that rainroosty, and it did not work out. There is a protruding piece blocking the spot where my passenger door's metallic hoop is supposed to mesh in. I am towing it to the servicing center and getting it fixed. And please dont make fun of me over this issue, its not a joke . I am very stressed at this point and dont know what to do as I have a lot of work to get done next week. I sincerely promise to god that I will never criticize you with my comments ever again .

Sorry, I've had that happen when it was very cold and lots of ice. Has it been that way there lately? There are a couple videos about repairing the latch on youtube. Have you tried squirting some WD40 or something like that in there? There are quite a few threads on the topic when ya google car door wont shut. You might consult them or ask over on the auto forum on this site. Could you tie it shut for now? Inconvenient but if it's a weather issue it will resolve itself when it warms up. Good luck with it, extra hassles really can make ya snap.

... I'm annoyed at the people who want to haggle over the stuff I have listed on Craigslist ...

I hate hagglers.

Sprinkle some cayenne pepper on the ground in the places the cat has been using. That's what I did when a neighbor cat wouldn't stay out of my raised flower bed.

If you know he is a stray, why not call an animal rescue organization? Is he tame or scared and more feral. I've trapped many feral cats over the years. Poor kids, it's not their fault they have no home. They are just trying to survive. People move and leave them or dump them when no longer wanted like some old TV or something. My neighbor out where I am moved and left their cat, she's mine now. Did you read about that poor cat in Virginia that got shot with some 60 BB's? The poor guy is blind but he survived. Sick people about, cars too are a danger (even some drivers that try to hit them), and diseases like FIP and Feline Leukemia. So better to call and find someone that will help get him off the streets. Here's that video if you haven't see it that's talking about the injured cat.

Every year some 6-8 million cats and dogs will be abandoned or enter animal shelters. Some are lucky enough to find homes. The rest some 3-4 million will be euthanized in shelters every year. The alternative is a "no kill" shelter where they are confined to a cage for weeks months or even years, many go insane from confinement and die from loneliness. Why are their so many cats and dogs? People fail to spay or neuter. There is a difference between a stray and a feral cat. A stray cat was abandoned, a feral cat as a kitten never had human interaction. A feral cat is a wild animal. Feral cats in managed colonies are approximately as healthy and live as long as their indoor vaccinated counterparts. They are free range animals. There are group such as Animal Lovers, The Feral cat Protection Program etc. that will spay/neuter for free. Find your local TNR "Trap, Neuter, Release" program and take the cats your trapping to be spay/neutered and released.
