Cat spraying my garden

I have 3 cats, 1 boy, 2 girls, and one cat of mine called Fatty always chases cats off our garden but there is this cat that is going to get a real kick ass from me, the smelly git, it snuck into my house and sprayed up my sofas and now is doin the same thing over my garden, smelly vile animal, and now my cats dont chase it off and my boy cat gets problems when other cats are in his teritory he licks his fur off from the stress, i have bought some of that stuff that gets rid of urine and odours, which has sorted my sofa, and i have just sprayed it around my fences also, but anyone got any ideas how i can stop this cat? i dont know how people dont get their cats done as its dirty and smells with cats spraying, i am going to boot it and throw buckets of water over it whenever i see it, any other tips?

 

It seems pretty obvious that your Fatty has conceded his territory to this cat, thereby accepting him as the new boss in the district. Not a lot you can do about that, I'm afraid. See in the cat world, this smell is a power announcement to all other cats. In other words, this cat, probably new to the neighbourhood, has included your garden and home in his territory. It's the powerful smell of nature at work and nothing dirty about it. One drop of spray (which is urine mixed with other fluids from his prostate) is equivelant to the same quantity of essence of Chanel No 5 !!!

You could try getting some lion's poo called Silent Roar and scatter the pellets around your garden. The idea is that your voracious visitor will take one sniff and say to himself "Crikey - I'm not messing with their cat!" and take off! Doesn't always work though. There are other products and someone will be sure to suggest them as this is a regular topic in here!

However, kicking the cat is not only ineffective it is animal abuse and I beg you not to do such a thing. How would you feel if someone started kicking your cats because they strayed into their garden. I know I wouldn't like it. It's not the tom's fault his owners are too ignorant to get him neutered and of course he may not even have owners.

The kindest deterrent, though impractical as you have to catch them trespassing, is to keep one or two of those super-duper kid's water cannons loaded and ready, and give him a good squirt when ever he puts in an appearance. I tried that but could never get to it quickly enough to hit the target! In the end I gave up and adopted him, got him neutered and now he's a lovely clean and affectionate house cat. He's the ginger and white tom in my signature.

Hope you have luck one way or another.

 

What a nuisance for you Dawn.

At one time I had a visiting tom who sprayed my garden, doors, windowsills etc.
I did everything to try and deter him but he just persisted.
Then I filled a big water gun with mustard dissolved in the water.
My daughter sprayed him and got a bulls eye right on his offending parts .
He never came back.

 

i wouldnt really kick it, but if it tries to come in my house to wee again i will not be happy, luckily i keep my doors closed most of the time so it will not get in again if it does i will let fatty kick its ****

this cat hangs about and isnt scared so i know i can get it with water so i am goin to have the hose ready as it comes to my garden alot and isnt bothered by me so i will blast it loads and hopefully it will sod off, just dont understand why people have pets and not get them done or do they not mind the smell of wee in their house, cat world or not, my garden is not his territory its my cats, and i dont mind cats in my garden but wont allow them to spray my house or garden if i can catch them out i will

 

just got it the once with water :gnthb:

 

What an interesting thread.:D:D:D

 

Cats again.:D:D Where are you, Pro Gard.:D Just love these threads

A cat V dogs thread would be fun:wink:

 

I hope that worked Dawn and dont be shy girl just say it as it is :hehe:

 

lol my cat was after a dog when it was in my garden, it was just a smaller dog but fatty used to be a farm cat before i adopted her so she doesnt seem to have fear, so she went up and smacked it round the face a few times, poor dog wasnt doing nothing wrong

the cat hasnt come back yet, but i am going to run after it with a bucket of water every time i see it, will keep me fit at least lol if it keeps weeing up my house i will take it to the vets myself and chop his nards off and see how that makes him feel :hehe:

 

Get an empty plastic soft drinks bottle, pop small stones/pebbles in and shake at the cat...they hate the sound. When my cats head for my curtains this is a gentle reminder the curtains are not as fun as they look!

 

Hi Dawn. I was thinking along the lines of which one is best to have in the house. I carefully avoid the term "own":wink:. I'll give it a go after the bank Holiday

 

Lol Caj, Just for you ill post my musings!

Dont even joke about booting it, Ill bet if you saw someone do this to your cat you'd be booting them, I would.

A bucket of water should do the trick or a hose pipe.

Thankfully my tuffty is large and dominant, I usually see him atacking the other local cats even the old Collie dog two doors down has been chased by him!

 

Hi P.G. Can't understand this thing about "booting a cat". Mine's so fast I can't get near her to stroke her (unless she wants to), let alone "boot" her. I can only just about hit her with a water pistol when she's "killing" the curtains. Then again, I am what I am:lollol:

 

well this cat is getting on my nerves, if it continues i will soak it, not just throw water at it and if that doesnt stop it i am either going to take it to a home as a stray or i will take it to the vets and get its bits chopped off, i like cats, but dont like this one,

actually one person in my street went a bit further than booting my cat, instead let his dog kill my cat instead
