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

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
