I normally like cats but this one is trying my patience! Scabby feral
tom cat is spraying right next to our side door. A mixture of bleach
and bio washing powder shifts the smell OK ish, but it just seems to
encourage it to re-mark its 'territory'. Any way to deter?

TIA.

The bravest of my cats, capable of seeing off a large German Shepherd
dog, had one phobia. Couldn't stand the eyes of a predator bird. I found
this out with a card model owl that I hung from the ceiling (don't
ask!). The cat was terrified and refused to come out of hiding until I
got rid of the model. I wonder if you might be able to get a plastic
version to hang over the target? It needs no attention or repeat doses.
