I use mothballs around the area where I park my car. They don't like the smell so they stay away.

I'm not saying cats in particularly are, but I shoot it with the hose and it thinks its having a special rain treatment. We don't have a fence so she comes into our yard coming closer and closer right into my dog's face and scratches and hisses( my dog isn't very stranger or animal friendly which helps). the neighbors' watch us from there window too!! It scratches our cars when it goes into the garage. It uses our sandbox and garden as a litter box. We can't go outside freely with our dog or by ourselves. The neighbors have asked us if the cat is bothering us..... but what can they do? They can't keep her inside. Please answer this problem and what is a cheap afordable to keep her out. Very frustrated, Sal Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Cats Off My Fence Post By Itsnotta (Guest Post) (06/13/2005) I just soaked the top of my fence with straight vinegar. I also outlined the yard with it too. I will let you know how it goes.....

Or/and I would plant climbing roses and train them to go straight up and along the top. You can also buy wire baskets that hang, then you just set a plant in the basket. Roses or maybe cacti. I had a cat that used to use my plants for a litter box till I got a couple of cacti. Now, he goes outside he will not even use the litter box!

I use this to keep cats from setting off my car alarm,, I just poured a little near my car and they dont get near it anymore Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Cats Off My Fence Post By (Guest Post) (05/03/2005) The water pistol works every time - only one direct hit needed usually - cats are smart and learn pretty quickly! This doesn't harm the cat just gives it a fright - behaviour modification training for the cat and then the dog won't need it!

That's a wierd statement. Anyway, to deter them, bang in a couple of nails across the flat surfaces, making sure that there's not enough room for pussycat feet to go around. Cats won't like a spiky surface. They also hate aluminium foil under their paws, so you could maybe alternate the two?

Cats don't like their paws messed up. http://www.teapotcottage.com Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Cats Off My Fence Post by Diamondee (128) | (05/02/2005) Contact the water gun approach is good and I would suggest you try to put tin/aluminum foil crinkled up on the part where they jump, they do not like the sound or the feel.

They deal with animal's all the time so I'm sure they know, but be sure to explain what kind of fence you have Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Cats Off My Fence Post by terdralynn (87) | (05/02/2005) Contact Poor pooch! I'd try spraying the fence with straight vinegar, but first find out if this will hurt the wisteria. If not, soak the fence, lavishing attention on the top rail. Most, if not all, cats hate vinegar. The smell will dissipate, so you will have to do this often for a while (if you find it keeps them away) - at least every other day and when it rains. Hope this helps, and good luck to you. Terry from ChilliOH Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Cats Off My Fence Post By Donn (Guest Post) (05/02/2005) I would also suggest spraying them with a water bottle. Does your town have an ordinane about cats roamly freely? You might find out about that. I wouldn't reccomend putting barbed wire on top as that could seriously injure the cats(and you could also get in trouble). I am a cat lover but agree with you that the cats should be on a leash or kept indoors. Sorry that they are bothering your dog. Good luck! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Cats Off My Fence Post By (Guest Post) (05/02/2005) the methods I'd suggest are : 1: - get a water gun and keep it primed and ready to shoot-(even with some pet repellant diluted in it so that they don't like the smell. If that fails to deter them. then go to step 2..... 2: - put some barbed wire along the top or the railing for a while to deter them- just tack it down - you don't want it looking like a maximum security prison fence. As you and the neighbour share the fence, you'll need top be discreet about this one. 3: Also you probably need to investigate some behaviour modification training for your pooch- poor harassed boy. Hope that helps Kiwi dog lover (and yes I have cats too) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Keeping Cats Off My Fence Post By Vicki (Guest Post) (05/02/2005) I'm no expert on cats but try spraying them with the hose every time. It should work. If I could catch my neighbor's cat when she sneaks over I would do the same. It infuriates me that people are allowed to let their cats roam. I feed the squirrels etc. & she comes over & sends them up the tree. I want to have a safe place for the critters so it really fries me.
