Answer 1

Hi there...Common odours which are effective deterrents for cats are:

Citronella works best for cats as well as citrus scents such as orange or lemon (primarily towards cats), 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.

Coleus plants can be effective, but every cat responds differently so it is uncertain without experimenting.

Many people believe mothballs work, however they are considered toxic and should NOT be used. Here's more information on this:
http://www.cvm.uiuc.edu/ope/enotes/showarticle.cfm?id=89
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.

Unfortunately, there isn't anything you can do to stop a male cat from spraying. He's marking his territory (are there other animals in your house, or were there that he can still smell?), which is perfectly normal. I suggest you make him an outdoor cat, and get some urine remover to get rid of the smell. Good luck.

Answer 3

Get him fixed, he's also marking his territory, and believe it or not he will stop once he feels he has sprayed everything. They do make a few sprays that is suppost to get them to stop. One is actually called NO! Spray, they make different kinds, but one is for cats that spray, give it a try

Answer 4

Sprinkle cayenne powder on the areas where he has urinated or sprayed. Plant tansy or other foul smelling plants in your garden.
You may want to use something to create noise where the cat enters your yard (if possible) to scare him away.

Answer 5

spray water on the cat everytime it comes to your house

Answer 6

You need to get him fixed. It's part of their "biology" and you literally have to take it from them so they stop.

Answer 7

i think you have to get it fixed too

Answer 8

some kind of poison that it will eat.........u will never have to worry about it again
