I know that the cats won't spray or sleep where they eat .so they found my shrubs to spray and my pourch to sleep. is there any thing i can use to keep the cats from spraying my shrubs and sleeping on my pourch without causing any harm to the cats?

I used moth balls.THey worked great!
You may want to replace them after a rain.I only had to use them a short time before stray cats decided to take a hike to a new location.They also sell something to keep animals away in pet stores but not sure if it works.Moth balls are cheap!

The best thing is the droppings of a big cat, such as a lion, leopard, tiger etc. You can buy this through the internet now just type in big cat dung or something similar - depending on the country the costs vary. In the UK you can get one pack for about £10. It comes in pellet form so you don't have to deal with large stinky bits of dung or anything!

Heres how to beat that sneaky cat at his own game. Cats hate the smell of citrus so i would suggest you buy some citrus oil and mix it 50 - 50 with water and spray it over your porch and shrubs. Repeat morning and night. The oil wont harm your shrubs and your porch wont smell funky!

For the raccoons, you could actual purchase a humane seize at maximum hardware shops or freight furnish shops for extra or less $20. only placed some cat meals in the seize, set it, and save doing so till the raccoons are trapped. conceal the seize with a trash bag or blanket so it doesnt' look like a seize. Raccoons are notably intelligent in this way and could stumble on that seize right now except you confirm that's lined. As for the cats, there are some issues you're able to do. If the cats are feral, there are courses to a minimum of get them neutered/spayed and microchipped. touch your nearby animal administration/animal safeguard and notice in the event that they have, or understand of, the type of application. we've one on the safeguard I artwork at in California. this could a minimum of save the inhabitants good. additionally, there may well be a ought to cut back the numbers even after the inhabitants is curbed. you ought to seize the cats, yet bear in mind, in the event that they are feral (untame) they could probable be euthanized. it type of feels so cruel to do this, yet extremely, they are able to under no circumstances stay a classic existence. in the event that they are tame, inspite of the undeniable fact that, then you definately can see in the event that they may well be accompanied out to a sparkling residing house. regrettably, because of the fact she might have had those cats for over 30 days, they could probable be considered now no longer strays, yet sources of the girl. Trapping them may well be your only determination. Animal administration officers (a minimum of our animal administration officers) won't in lots of cases respond to a decision except the animal(s) in question are already restrained. in the event that they are feral and run away, the officer will inform you to seize them or convey them in. this relies upon on county and state, inspite of the undeniable fact that. the main important concern is to verify approximately getting the cats that are there spayed/netuered ASAP so the inhabitants boost would not flow on. you could ought to seize them just to do this, except they allow you to capture them. stable success. =)

Go to the pet store. There are some sprays tehy sell to deter cats from spraying there. But if they don't spray where they eat, you could feed them as well.
