Cats spraying in garden

External Since: Apr 08, 2004 Posts: 236

One of my neighbours is really pis#ed off about the cats spraying near her
windows and it stinks apparently.She is threatening to take matters further
if we don;t do something.

We have a private "communal" gardens which are used not only by residents
few cats but also other neighbours cats, and local foxes.All of the pets,
both residents and neighbours are neutered and spayed, but we do have a few
intact strays around. So few Q:

1. Do foxes spray as well?
2. Is there any spray you an think of that can neutralize the urine smell on
the bricks, bushes and garden wooden fence?
3. Is there a pet repellant spray or something that has only a short range,
as we have to please her, so I thought we'd put it near her windows, but to
still allow local cats, foxes and a dog to roam the garden just not near her
flat.

I am just worried as to what the "further action" means...

Thanks
Gee
(my cats are indoor but they do go out on a leash, and even though
Charlie(neutered) never sprays indoors, he will happily go out, inspect the
bushes and spray them :))

There are pet repellants you can get from your local hardware store, pet
store or garden centre. I'm not sure how effective they are and the ones
I've seen require frequent application until the habit is broken.
