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 big difference, other than increasingly flaking paint, seems to be graffiti. The question is, will that/ can it be controlled?
    • I took back my 🤣 because I think the idea is unworkable expensive and would produce little result.  There seems to be people in the office next to the toilet but I don’t think they leave the office. I’m not sure what they do there.  The toilets have been in a disgusting state for months and months with many promises to repair they are not functional and they invite vandalism. I shall  try to add a couple of photos. The council doesn’t care why should we?
    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
