I guess you seem to be under the impression that people own a cat. In Russia (and anywhere else for that matter) a cat owns you.

Pets are good for kids. Besides, as long as the cat doesn't venture into the house, why not let it stay? If you really insist, there's a cat-be-gone citrus spray for furniture I think you can get at pet stores, or just spray essential oils of lemon or orange on the chairs. Most cats can't stand citrus for some reason.
