We are not trying to protect our house from cats, but we have had severe bird damage on our lanai, and we have tried many things. At first, when we put up the plastic spiky sheets with short black spiky sheets, small birds stopped coming, but big pigeons perched on the spiky sheets with no problem, even though the spiky sheets were put up. I also added a sheet with longer gray spikes, and the big birds stopped coming. I found a lot of goods to protect cats from birds on Amazon.com, so why don't you give them a try?

Thanks for the advice. I will contact humane society and Animal Control. I immediately ordered cat repellent spiky sheets from Amazon. It was refreshing to be heard. I will take various actions.

I have consulted with the Humane Society before for similar advice. I was told that they would loan me a trap and I would set it up and capture the animal myself. I was told that I would be neutered once captured and then released in the same place, and I gave up because that would not be a solution.
I know this is not helpful at all, but I shared it as information.

Thank you, Chacha.
You released them in the same place.......
I guess there are many people in Hawaii who have a problem with stray cats.

We have a similar person in our townhouse
"I feed the cats, but I don't keep them.
But stop excluding the cats."
and some people have trouble with that.
Finally, we all complained
to the area manager about the feces and meowing, and
all but a few were taken in by the humane society.

You should check if the medicine can be sent by mail.
Some medicines can be brought in directly depending on their ingredients,
some require a doctor's prescription, and
some medicines cannot be brought in depending on the country.

Even over-the-counter drugs commonly sold in Japan may not be approved by the U.S. FDA without checking the details of their ingredients. If a foreigner is staying in the U.S. for a short period of time, he/she may bring a 90-day supply of the drug into the U.S. ） even if it is not （ FDA-approved. The reference URL is as follows.

However, it is possible that the contents of the mail may be confiscated by customs just because it is a medicine. However, it is possible that the contents of the invoice will be confiscated at customs inspection. However, if it is a so-called supplements, it may be OK. I imported Taisho Kampo gastrointestinal medicine from Japan under the name of supplements.
Therefore, the following four methods are recommended.
1 ． Check the details of the ingredients of the medicine used in Japan （ You can usually find it on the internet. ） and look for over-the-counter drugs in the U.S. that contain those same ingredients.
2 ． If you can't find the same thing, try an over-the-counter drug in the US that contains the main ingredient of that drug.
3 ． Give the doctor details （ of the drug's ingredients in English ） and ask for a prescription for a drug with similar effects.
4 ． Try to import it from Japan under the name of supplements. （ The possibility of confiscation at customs will be great. ）

Two of our children attended MCS from class at age 2, and we applied to another private school in Kinder.

I believe that MCS has a very high ratio of applicants due to the small number of students.

When I took the test for my older child, I received a letter of recommendation from a current family and from a board member. 2 year old classes are especially difficult to get into without connections, but research and networking in advance is also important.

My child attended MCS until two years ago.
The school has developed my child's academic ability, comprehension, personality, and cooperation to an amazing degree.
The school has been very good at developing the best of each individual.
As a result, I was able to pass both Iolani and Punahou.
Eight of the 11 students in my class went to Punahou, two to Iolani, and the other two to the top residential school in Boston.
Punahou had 9 students take the test and all were accepted.
MCS is quite difficult because admission is really small, but
if you get in, you don't have to worry about your future.
The families of the students are all quite high class
I could send my child there with peace of mind.
The 3 year old class is only a supplement to the 2 year old class, so
only 6-8 students are admitted each year.
The 4 year old class is about the same because it is a supplemental class only.
Kinder has a better chance, because there are a lot of transfers from MCS preschool to Punahou and Iolani kinder, so they can make up for the lost students.
I really recommend this school.

Hi ！
There are slots available for 4 year olds ！ My second son was placed at MCS at age 4 because some kids move from MCS to Hana Hau'oli at age 4. I think Kinder has a better chance because some kids go from MCS to Iolani or Punahou. On a personal note, my oldest son is now a middle at Punahou, and I am astounded by the number of his classmates who moved from other schools last year and this year, and by the high academic level of those from Hana Hau'oli and MCS. My oldest son has been in Punahou since Kinder, and the children from Hana Hau'oli and MCS are at an even higher level than those who have studied at Punahou for a long time. In fact, many of the students from Punahou who go on to Ivy League schools, Stanford, MIT, etc. are from Hana Hau'oli and MCS. Of course, the children who grew up in Punahou have evolved into high-level universities as well, but those from Hana Hau'oli and MCS are among the best in Punahou from the moment they enter the school.

Even if they are admitted to Punahou, their destinations depend on how well they can keep up with the academic abilities of Punahou students, and there is a clear difference between the Punahou students and those from the public schools.

I would like to comment that it is important to think ahead when choosing a school, not only MCS.

My son went to Punahou from Middle after graduating from MCS, and this August he started Harvard University.
At MCS, he learned a lot of things such as intellectual education, globalization, manners, etc., and most importantly, he developed his independence, imagination, achievement, individuality, and self-judgment.
The environment where students can find what they are interested in and what they want to do by themselves and are allowed to do it with respect is an educational spirit and method that can only be acquired at an early age, and it is not like other pre or elementary schools where "everyone does the same activities together. The school is unique in that it is not a place where "everyone does the same activities together. This seems to only be acquired at a very young age, and I felt it affected his future level of learning very much.
I have never told my son to "study ！."
He has developed the ability to study while maintaining interest and enjoying himself.
MCS was a great school.
All the students are happy and academically strong, and I am very grateful to my classmates' families, teachers and school.
I am not affiliated with MCS or a mediator or anything like that, but 모듈팀
I can really recommend this school.

I would like to know from those who have taken the Hanahawori exam, I heard that on the day of the child's interview, the school has an interview ？ activity for the parents ？
What was it like I am overwhelmed because all the schools are so difficult to get into.

#3 I agree with Rino.

They are rich because they are stingy.
Kansai people just want to get a laugh by haggling and seeing reactions. Topy H's language is not good. There are Kansai people who are both stingy and not stingy.
So what do you want to know ？
I don't quite get the point.

I also remember that
I don't know where he was from, but
he suddenly asked me for a discount when I handed it over in front of Starbucks in Ala Moana,
and I gave him a discount
crying.
He was in his 70s or so.
Most of the people who sell here are good people, but
sometimes there are people who are very loose with their time, or
sometimes there are people whose goods are dirty.

I think Kansai people like cheap things. I like everything cheap. As Mos says, some Kansai people are not stingy.

Rather than being stingy, Kansai people are probably more economically minded than Kanto people ？
They are likely to take less and less of their own payments, based on the idea of keeping a little reserve for themselves.

Kanto people have an image of being bold, spending money with all their might.
But many of them don't think about the difficulties they will have later on with their money,

I have been to Dr Andrew Sun's office.

I told him that I did not understand professional medical English and wanted a Japanese translation

A Japanese man, an office worker, came and explained in Japanese.

They were both very nice. It is located downtown.

I am on Invisalign here.
I have a friend who also goes there and it has a good reputation.
The cost is cheaper than in Japan even without insurance, and the technology seems to be more advanced and experienced in the U.S. （ It depends on the doctor. It depends on the doctor, but ） I had done it before in Japan and it was about half the cost, although it was my second time.

Dr. Kim and all the staff are very nice and helpful. The manager and some of the staff at Ala Moana speak Japanese. There are no additional charges after the initial payment and they will correct you until you are satisfied. I have one spot that is still bothering me, so it is taking more than 6 months longer than planned, but they are very kind and attentive to my needs. I went to several doctors before deciding on this one, but this one was by far the best. He is a popular and well-known doctor, so it takes time to make an appointment and reschedule, but I recommend it.

Depending on the plan and other factors, geico is cheap if you only need the minimum coverage for bodily injury ・ and property damage.
Although they do not have a good reputation for their response to accidents … …
You can get quotes from several companies on the internet.

You can't put anything personal in the car, the only thing you can put in the trunk is the spare tire, and if you are sent by Mattson, you will have to bring your personal belongings back in a box for inspection, and they won't accept a gas tank unless it is less than a quarter of a tank.

We containerized our household goods and car together.
In doing so, I put clothes, dishes, etc. in the car, trunk, and back seat. It may not be possible to deliver only the car, though.
It was cheaper than shipping the household goods and the car separately.
