We have an outdoor cat and in the past month he has totally stepped up his campaign to rid the world of mice, birds, and moles. In the past two days he has brought us 4 things. My roommate is threatening to take him to the ARL. We need to discourage him. Is there a spray we can spritz him with that smells bad but isn't harmful? Water doesn't work, yelling at him doesn't work, putting him back out does nothing, making no recognition at all of his gift does nothing...I too am tired of staggering out in the morning bleary eyed and full bladdered and stepping square on a dead thing, since he loves to leave it right where I have to pass through to get to the bathroom. I've been reading cat behaviour forums and I know why they do it, what it means to them etc and I just need it to stop. I have had so many cats in my life, all outdoor ones, and none of them have ever done it more than once, we always just yelled at them and chased them out and they never did it again.
While I know it is a hot topic, making the cat an indoor cat is NOT an option, we all have different beliefs, please respect mine.
