I've read a few threads i found from searching but still need to ask -- how can i get rid of a neighborhood male cat?
we have 3 cats, indoor/outdoor, but mine stay in all night and this 'hood cat apparently is out all the time. i've only seen the other cat twice but he's a big boy. we have one big dude, one huge fat blob female (sister to the big guy), and a former stray female who is perfect size. The other cat comes around when they are around (when they are outside, they stay pretty close to the house, *definitely* in my 1.5 acres.
anyways we have 3 big windows on our back porch that are floor-to-ceiling height, and this other cat keep spraying on them from the outside. it smells nasty and i'm sure is driving our cats nuts. i'm sick of cleaning it. these are the same windows our cats use to tell us they want to come inside, so i dont want to just cover them and move on.
Tonight we'll take the blacklight outside and see if there is any remaining spray on our house/windows/deck.
but is there anything else i can do to keep this cat away from my house (without just covering the windows and ensuring the smell is gone)?
