how do i keep a "double dipping" cat from peeing on my windows when it walks by?

Question

there is a tom cat that does this and i am tired of cleaning it up

Answer 1

Call animal control, people shouldn't let their animals roam. They need to be a responsible pet owner!

Answer 2

The tom is marking the house as his territory. Without catching the cat and taking him somewhere else, or getting him neutered, you cannot guarantee that he won't come back. You say "double dipping", are you feeding cats? If you are doing that, I'd stop for a few weeks and hope he finds somewhere else, but that still might not work.

Answer 3

Hi there...aside from animal control if you prefer not to have the cat collected. Common odours that are effective deterrents for cats are:

Citronella works best for cats as well as citrus scents such as orange or lemon (primarily towards cats), and others so long as they cannot be ingested or sprayed on the cat (stored in a safe vented container) cayenne pepper, coffee grounds, pipe tobacco, lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and mustard oil.

"Havahart's Cat Repellent" uses capsaicin pepper and oil of mustard as its active ingredients. It repels by both taste and odor, has a lemon scent.

Every animal responds differently to each of these. Some will not be phased by them and others will be quite revolting.

For training purposes they are applied on items that are to encourage avoidance behaviours and not for use with a squirt bottle as they could harm the eyes or respiratory system. Test each substance and observe to see which works as a deterrent so that accidental injestion does not occur as some could then be fatal.

Many people believe mothballs work, however they are considered toxic and should NOT be used. Here's more information on this:

MOTHBALLS are toxic to cats which contains the ingredient Naphthalene. Mothballs are approximately twice as toxic as paradichlorobenzene, and cats are especially sensitive to naphthalene. Signs of ingestion of naphthalene mothballs include emesis, weakness, lethargy, brown-colored mucous membranes and collapses. Paradichlorobenzene mothballs may cause GI upset, ataxia, disorientation, and depression. Elevations in liver serum biochemical values may occur within 72 hours of indigestion.

Answer 4

Go to your pet store and see if they have a repellent for cats. I know they have some for various types of animals. If this is not your cat, you can call animal control and they will catch the cat. If it belongs to you, you will have to cage it yourself, so tell them it is a stray cat.

Best of luck to you. There is a stray cat in my area that keeps getting my birds. I am going to have to call as well. I hate to, but it is not good for a stray cat not to have a home.

Answer 5

Put an electric wire into the window, so when the cat pee's on your window again, he'll get electrocuted.
