A bit of calcium carbide ground up and covered in beef dripping would probably discourage it with extreme prejudice. |

What I did with the Tom cat that was about to spray our new bedroom carpet, was to corner it, pick it up and do a rugby drop kick out of the house. That was over two years ago and it has only ventured back once and scrammed quickly when it saw me. Dave |

More or less what I did with a tom that was coming into our house. I still have the scars... This was a semi-wild farm cat tom so it "wasn't happy" about being caught, half strangled in a scruff of the neck, sat on and finally lobbed 15' out of the front door. Haven't seen it since. B-) -- Cheers Dave. |

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. Peter Scott |

If you can catch the cat then scaring it out of its skin is the only long term solution IME. Trouble is you get rid of one cat an another will appear in its place. -- (\__/) M.

Our neighbours semi-feral cat likes our bird table, but flees at a rate of knots when it sees me (catapult+gravel saw to that). But ... it still comes back when it can't see me. That makes it a two-stage process. Local cats have learned to flee at a rate of knots when my wife enters the garden, and later throw themselves under the wheels of buses when she walks down the street. Toom |

I sometimes drink with a couple of clay shooters, but I didn't pick the expression up from them. It must have been about 1981 when I first heard of it, but the person who told me lives in Oz now and when I knew him, he didn't have a local (Lancashire) accent. Dave |

Angle grinder works well but by the time you have put the cat in a vice to hold it steady, it is just as good to clamp its head very securely. They preferred my lawn which I criss-crossed with fine green fishing line. This drove them onto my neighbours area so they have the smell. Anybody tried rabbit snares? Robbie |

I'm sorry for bumping this old thread, but I really feel like I have some advice to offer you - and you seemed to really need it at the time One of my 2 cats (both neutered males) had taken to painting all of my walls, furniture, and anything else he could reach. I was horrified when I got a UV light. He never did that in all of the 9 years I've had him and didn't when I got him a buddy (they love each other and did so right away) but when a strange black cat started showing up outside both of my cats went nuts and the older one (9) started his wall painting, as well as the curtains out in the kitty room. I couldn't keep up with it. My cats are indoor cats so it's not like the stray is actually going to get in here but they both hate him (and he is weird...my neighbor's cats hate him too). I've tried cleaning with a pet urine enzyme and then spraying some "No More Spraying" but that hasn't worked. He's a sneaky little bugger too; he waits until he thinks I'm not looking and then does it. He's learned that the minute I see him backing his butt up to something he gets yelled at. |
