I wash the area with lemon scented Mr. Clean. Removes the smell, and seems to discourage the cats. They do not like citrus odors.

I had this same problem. I put straight white vinegar with a little dawn dish soap in it, in a spray bottle. Wash the urine off first & rinse. Then spray the whole area about every 2 days. Soak it & let it dry. They do not like vinegar, at all. It worked great.

RE: Repelling Neighborhood Cats
Thank you for those of you here who gave advice on repelling the cats, not just getting rid of the smell. I bought a long-range water gun for $2 and I can't wait to "shoot" them when they start yowling. Filthy things. Cute, but filthy.

Citronella candles that you can get to repel bugs can be sat out at night, unlit of course. You can also put out lemon peels too. They are great for your summer tea and then double used for the porch!

We cleaned the area and sprayed vinegar and water mix there. It works really good for us. Not so well on a fence but on a porch it worked. This also works around the windows and doors on the inside to keep out spiders and other bugs. The salad dressing smell goes away soon. More vinegar then water. @ parts vinegar 1part water

Heloise had the answer to that question this month in Good Housekeeping. She said wash the area well with soap and water. When dry, clean with an enzyme eating product (I've used Nature's Miracle). Then as often as you can (especially just before bed) spray the area with a citrus spray because cats don't like that smell.

I find orange peels work just great. In gardens, on door steps, etc.
