a cat has been pissing on my doorstep for the last month or so, every couple of days. this morning, the piss had leaked thru the gap at the bottom of my front door. its just gross, and i was told that if i shot the cat i'd be in trouble, and my only option is to buy some dumb- repellent thing that is unlikely to work. what do nice people like me do in a situation like this? i really want to shoot it..but like i say, i'm nice.
Answers:You can try pepper, vinegar, onions. Cats don't like any of these smells. Geraniums are good aswell.
lay in wait and use a bucket of water
Borrow someones ferocious dog for a few days and scare it away. Or call animal control and they will come and get the cat. Try not to hurt it though.
Have you tried a dumb repellent thing ? if not how do you know its not gonna work ?
U speak with forked tounge,U said U were nice and yet you said U wanted to shoot someones cat.Tape a couple of sheets of bounce across bottom of door for a few days.
catch it at your door and pick it up and take it to the pound and tell them you found it in your yard and its not yours. may seem cruel but that would drive me nuts too.
an eletric fence works well
use a live trap with tuna . then take him to an animal shelter . you can get the trap an a feed store
call the animal control (not sure if they care) or get a pitbull
Go clean your doorstep with soap and bleach because the cat has already associated that place to pissing because of the smell. You may try to splash the cat a bucket of water whenever it comes to pee until it is trained not to do so.
Check with a local vet before doing anything. They can usually help you.
i was told when we had this problem believe it or not put pepper down all over your doorstep and well believe it or not cats dont like pepper it keeps them away give it a try and see.
Cats hate the smell of citrus so lay some orange, lemon and lime peelings by the door and this should keep it away. There is also a plant called 'Scaredy Cat' (not sure of its real plant name) but this is effective too. (i have it in my garden borders and my cat wont go near it)
