Neighbor Cats on My Porch

RE: Neighbor Cats on My Porch Post By rae (Guest Post) (04/26/2007) My auntie fills a small plastic bottle about 1/3 full with small stones/pebbles and screws the lid on tight. When she hears the cats she just hurls the bottle near them. The loud noise scares them. She also uses a water spray bottle filled with a mixutre of water and vingar to spray near them. They hate the smell. I agree with the other readers about using anything with chemicals as if the cat has got the chemicals on the paws, they are likely to become sick when they lick their paws.

I can suggest moth balls as they don't like the smell, but neither do humans so... It is a catch 22. I think the foil is a good idea. Editor's Note: Mothballs are also poisonous. RE: Neighbor Cats on My Porch Post By (Guest Post) (04/24/2007) Try tin foil where they are going they don't like the feel of it so they won't go there. Please Don't use chemicals I respect the women's oppionion but it could make your nieghbors cats sick. As for keeping them off your porch you need to scare them. Any loud noise will do. Try a boat horn these come in a air can like a spray cleaner for computers but they make a loud noise when you push on the button. Couple of blasts from that ought to scare them enough they won't come back. RE: Neighbor Cats on My Porch Post By Lynn (Guest Post) (04/24/2007) Try using orange oil spraying it around or orange, grapefruit or lemon peels, I've heard cats do not like citrus & will stay away. Good Luck RE: Neighbor Cats on My Porch Post By (Guest Post) (04/23/2007) spray some "Raid" around and on the stuff...it should keep them away and also has the added benefit of keeping bugs away also!! This is a tip I learned on how to keep dogs out of your garbage cans at night...or anything for that matter. Never had a problem after, I would put the cans at the curb and spray them with Raid. RE: Neighbor Cats on My Porch Post by Lily 59 (76) | (04/23/2007) Profile | Contact Ive heard to spray vinigar that cats hate that. Theres also stuff at the pet supply store, one thats called "Kitty-no". I also use pepper like cayenne - i put it where they 'went' once and they never go back to that spot after they smell there LOL! Good luck! Heres a pic of my girl, who is NOT allowed outside! (smiles) Shes 10 and still a pretty girl young at heart.
