Cat People - How to stop other cats spraying in my house ?


Recommended Posts

Good morning East Dulwich Forum


As the title says, we have a problem with cats coming into our house and spraying.


We have a cat, who has had the "chop" and we leave part of a window open (securely) so he can get in and out during the day.


The spraying has got worse and we can smell it as soon as we get in.


Has anyone else had this problem or know of a way to resolve it ?

Unfortunately we are unable to do that, Glass doors.

Get one of those MASSIVE kids pump action water guns/pistols, they hold about 1.5 lts


Fill it with water, and the vinegar from a pickled onion jar


Scope out that cat, and spray the fekk out of it with your gun. It's strangely satisfying, I shot a neighbours cat right up the rear end, as it scarpered


Then, over the next few days, go round and 'scent' the areas with the cat-cocktail, shooting the cat liberally when sighted


It's a kind of aversion therapy, as when the vinegary/onioned cat washes, it's remind of the fun you've had warning it off

After a thread a while back I now have a couple of old washing up liquid bottles standing by the back door, filled with early morning pee specimens and a soupcon of raw garlic, and I send a quick spray towards cats that want to use my garden as a public convenience. I also spray it around the gate posts. There's a lot less cat and fox poo to clear up these days.

Having a slash in the garden is strangely satisfying. Best done at night tho, neighbours get a bit weirded out otherwise


The washing up bottle method, with fermenting garlic, would keep King Kong at bay I reckon. And much as i'm curious as to how she fills said bottles, i'll pass at the details

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
