spray the exterior of your apt... with bleach and rinse


they MUST be smelling other cat sprayings...


for some reason, they are bringing you little presents


or.. you are habitually cooking something they can smell?


is there any tuna smell in the house? LOL JUST KIDDING YO!


TUNA

That's interesting because I use a bleach/water mixture to clean up
after they leave these disgusting "gifts" and that seems to keep them
away for a while. I suppose I could fill a spray bottle with a bleach/
water mixture and just spray a little around every few days to
maintain the effect.

What about the commercially available cat repellents? Don't they use
Coyote urine or something? Sounds awful but does it work?


or large cat poop from nursery lions and tigers
I read that on here

Default Cat repellent



I need something that is going to work outdoors. Double sided tape
isn't going to stick to the rough surface of the area around my
doorstep very well and it will just attract dirt. And food items are
just going to attract insects and other pests. I don't want to solve
one problem by creating another.


How about trying the CatStop, an ultra-sonic repellant that only cats
can hear. It emits a noise that cats don't like. I tested one for a
product review and it sent both of my (indoor) cats running. It runs
on batteries, so you don't need an outlet. Here's a link to one:
http://www.awesometools.com/catstop-cat-stop.asp

Note: it only works for cats' range of hearing, not any other critters.

A couple of orange peels will do the trick.

My problem is I can't do anything that is going to freak out my next
door neighbor's cat. I need to just deter the outdoor cats that come
here that don't belong to either me or my nextdoor neighbor.

They make a spray repellent that can be purchased at any pet store. Most
use chemical mixtures but I believe don't use other animal markings scent
you would get a cat like mine that would boldly walk up and cover the
marking not matter what predator it was.


I sprayed some bleach/water mixture and a few minutes later a cat came
and lay down and rolled around on the sidewalk just 12" away from
where I sprayed it. So apparently the bleach smell isn't potent enough
to deter the cat! I may have to look into one of those commercial cat
repellents.

the bleach was just to remove cat pee smell from the area sprayed.

the more I question why your door, I can only believe it smells like
cats.
that's why the bleach. not to be a foul smell he didn't like.. but to
remove the pee smell.

but! if you was a hungry cat, and wanted to get some food...
you would bring a prize to a human door.. especially a door that
smells like other cats.
