No it ***ATTRACTS*** them. They thinks that another cat has peed there to
mark the place as belonging to that cat and pee over the place to mark it
as belonging to them. Wash places peed on by cats with *biological*
washing powder.

They're crapping in the yard not peeing,short of getting the hose on the
cat, I can't see scrubbing the walls and yard will deter moggys from
revisiting? I did jet wash the yard when I first moved in,so maybe this is
a new cat on the block? as I've only recently seen this happening.

Have you considered getting a dog? Or even a cat of your own? If you
get a big angry tom it'll attempt to murder anything with legs that
comes into its territory.

Possibly even you. Ah.

A jet wash. There's a thought. There are also many ways of permanantly
removing the root of the problem.

Someone'll be along in a minute to tell you it's all "illegal",
and that sort of thing. I take it that the wall *is* on your own
ground, and that casual passers-by won't get shredded on it...

Then someone should tell the councils its illegal to put razor wire on the
ally gates.
If they object and say..."its for keeping out unwanted riffraff,then I'll

It might not.... AFAIK though, shooting feral cats is a pest control
exercise and not illegal. As far as I'm concerned, moggies are all
vermin and any animal that the 'owner' can't control is feral.

If you cause "unnecessary suffering" and are found out, then you may
be in some trouble. This applies to things from flies to anything
lower than us. If you kill the thing outright, there's no "cruelty"
angle at all - however, the owner *might* be able to sue for damages,
since you've destroyed his property.

As far as I am concerned, those who advocate such barbaric behaviour are all
vermin and therefore fair game with whatever measures others wish to take to
prevent such barbarity.

Although I could never condone, or agree with the methods of the ALF, I can
understand their motivation with sadists like you.

Barbaric? So, you never kill vermin then? It all boils down to how
humanely you do it. Note, I don't own an air rifle or any other
projectile weapon, my kitchen knifes and DIY knifes could, at a stretch
be called weapons but I value them too much to use as such. The OP also
advocated use of ammonia which is a very unpleasant chemical to use on
any animal, it can cause severe burns, respiratory problems and you
really wouldn't want to get it in your eyes as you'd be lucky to have
any sight left afterwards but I notice you really don't have a problem
with that?

Although I could never condone, or agree with the methods of the ALF, I can
understand their motivation with sadists like you.
A sadist enjoys inflicting pain, I don't but I wonder if you've ever
seen a cat tormenting a captured creature, tell me that doesn't fit the
definition of sadism? I hate cleaning up the detritus that irresponsible
owner's 'pets' leave in my garden, including excrement (it's not true
that cats always bury) and dead animals that haven't been killed for
anything but pleasure by cats ( I know, I've watched them).

You may think that. The law would disagree with you and act
accordingly.

Get some "cat nip" fluid, I think it's called, from a pet shop.
101% guaranteed to stop them peeing on carpets.

Heaving this back to practicalities, I see three easy and legal methods:

a) Get a large cat. Ours had the bonus of chasing foxes off its turf.
b) Use orange juice. Generally quite good as an applied deterrent.
c) Use a supersoaker or similar filled with water. Once you've
established territorial rights, the cat is unlikely to return.

(side note: we kept half an eggcup full of water by the kitchen door.
The cat had this dumped on his head every time he tried to enter; he
soon stopped and kept out of the kitchen for the next four years, until
we moved)

Yes that does work, as do pieces of orange peel.

Some cats enjoy water... (yes same cat - enjoys pond and comes in
filthy.)

In general though, they do dislike water.

THe ultrasonic devices are mildly effective but won't deter a
determined cat.

Ours was a Maine Coon too. Yes, it was soft...but not when it came to
foxes (and Dobermans).
