Hello,
Our ferals range over about an acre of land...some areas they're welcome, and some they're not. At night, three of the fixed cats (who pal around together) sometimes sleep in a quiet area of our courtyard, where no one bothers them.
Conversely, they sometimes wander toward an old garage-type building, and our neighbor isn't thrilled with having them there. I've put some non-toxic natural, repellent down with mixed success, but I am wondering if there's a way to attract the cats to another area. A little catnip?
The problem is that I'd like the cats to be in an area where they're not bothering anyone, but I don't want them using the area as a bathroom, either.
Suggestions, or a moot point?
One of the cats -- the male fluffy -- seems quite intrigued by me and I almost think he could be socialized, despite being two years old. He actually has run up toward me on a few occasions, so he seems to recognize that I'm not a threat. But he won't come within 5 feet.
