We have 2 male Barn Cats that are brothers. And in the past 6 months they are been Spraying on our house! ON OUR HOUSE! It is sooo gross and it stinks and my mom is about to lose her mind. What should we do? Yes these are barn cats, but we can't get close enough to pick them up. Does any one have any suggestions? What should we do or are we just stuck with cats spraying urin on our house?

You can clean the areas on your house with a product like natures miracle or another enyzmatic product. Then use a product that repels pets from the areas you don't want them. There are a variety of different products. I'm sure one will work for you. As a last resort you can help by trapping the cats having them neutered and returned to the barn. They will probably stop the spraying and won't contribute to the already overpopulation of cats.

If you cannot catch them you need to get a humane cat trap. Let the vet know that you are bringing in the cats to get neutered and warn them that they are barn cats. Make sure they get their rabies shots while they are there. You can also buy a spray that is used to keep them out of gardens and spray it near the house, but then they wont come near you. The stuff gets on them and smells bad so they wont go to that spot anymore.

They must be competing with each other for mates and/or warning all other males to stay away from their territory. Male barn cats are impossible, but cute as heck with their big heads and jowls!. Your best bet, honestly, is to capture them and get them neutered. You can capture them using a Have-A-Heart trap, but be careful as you could end up catching a raccoon or skunk or the wrong kitty. Alternatively, if you're brave...entice the male with some meat - chicken or steak. Both you and your mom should do this together. One of you feeds him, the other is getting ready with a pillowcase! When you get him eating from you directly, quickly nab him with the pillowcase. and close it quickly. He will be pissed off, but a pillowcase is good because he cannot see outside and he will eventually calm down. Make sure your vet knows ahead of time that you're coming, however, becasue they will want to tranquilize that kitty fast! LOL! When you bring them home, they'll be totally different animals, sweet and mellow! Good luck!

actual, she could be in a position to save $2 hundred in her bag and not could agonize. the actual undeniable truth that someone has stolen $60 from her now, and they are prepared to provide up loose time for actually everyone over it, exhibits they do no longer have many moral values. Has your coach instructed the barn that whoever stole it really is going to in reality have a caution, they gained't be punished? Or some thing like a "no questions requested" type of element? If no longer, attempt it. the guy who stole it ought to really have some morals, yet is merely too afraid to go back the money now. Giving them a caution and holding an intensive eye on them gained't do all people damage. and that i have not had it ensue. I holiday at smaller barns, we are very close to to at least one yet another and do not pull stuff like that. i don't think of there is ever been drama in the time of my instructions the position I holiday. i wager i'm fortunate! yet at my pal's barn it occurs a lot. She rides at a larger coach barn, actually everyone appears intense-and-amazing and picture each thing is about them, and could reason drama only for leisure. Who needs that? As for a answer, why no longer lock your bags? that's straight forward to get a small lock to lock up your important zipper the position all of your valuables are. it ought to no longer assist you to open up your bag quick anymore, although that's a pre-caution. Then save the most on your using boots, in a pocket, anyplace you want. you do not desire to lock each zipper, merely the single the position you position your valuables. Now no you'll thieve you money, cellphones, etc. reliable success!

Get a harmless racoon trap, you can buy them at any farm-supply store. Bait them with tuna fish, and when the cat goes inside to get it, the door will snap shut and they'll be locked inside. Then take the whole cage to a vet and get them neutered ASAP! Absolutely nothing else will stop them from spraying.

Cats hate the smell of lemon juice, so sprinkling some in places you don't want the cats to go will keep them away.
Also, if you can, get them spayed. It will stop them from spraying and will also do us all the favor of helping to control the pet population.

Rent a Trap and have them neutered. We had some opossum living in our garage and thats how we caught them. If you dont wont to kill that would be the best option.

I have heard that marigolds (flowers) deter male cats, but I do not know how many you would need!
Good luck!
