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

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
