ok, now I know people will be tempted to say things that I have already thought of, like fix holes in the fence, make sure no garbage or animal food is around, etc. But the fact is, right now I do have holes in my fence, and I do feed the birds, but we have city-issued garbage cans that animals can’t get into, so I need a solution other than taking care of those things.
My neighbor has a family of these damn things living under their porch, and we have a field across the street with plenty of rodents, and two restaurants nearby with plenty of garbage, so unfortunately I know these critters are here to stay. What I need is some kind of natural repellent that isn’t harmful to my dogs or cats. I put out mothballs before I realized how toxic they are (I cleaned them up), and I really want something else. I’ve heard that cedar chips might work. Does anyone know if this is true, or if there is anything else out there?
I bought this repeller over a year ago and its working a treat so far! This just gives an idea on where to position it. Hopefully I will get a cat on film and post it soon!

Are there any sprays that scare away cats and foxes, but won’t bother a rabbit? I’d like to get a bunny and build a run for her in my back garden, and I was hoping there’s an easy way to stop predators trying to break in.
I got two cats in March, and a dog a few days ago.
One of my cats has always had the desire to pee on soft items that are not permanently in the living space. He has never peed on the carpeting, couch, or pillows on the couch, but he has peed on blankets on the floor and in my backpack on the floor.
This was tolerable because I could just make sure nothing out of the ordinary was on the floor.
Well, now he’s decided he’s gonna pee on the dog’s bed, which is a big cushion. Any blanket or bed I leave in the dog’s crate he will pee on. I want to keep the dog’s crate open so he can go in and out. I don’t think it’s a territory issue since he did it before the dog.
Short of the spray bottle, which I can only do if I catch him, and he doesn’t seem to give a s*** about, is there anything I can do? I don’t want the bed ruined totally.
Is there a pet repellent only for cats that won’t bug my dog?
Thanks!
I guess I should add that there are two litter boxes, two different kinds of litter, both of which he uses, and I am super clean with them (every day cleaning).
He has been to the vet and has no urinary tract infection. It is really JUST on out of place cloth items. Argh.
I’m investigating cat repellents for my garden. It’s mostly flowers but I do have one area where I grow garlic, so whatever I choose needs to be safe enough to use NEAR the garlic, even if I don’t sprinkle it right on top of it.
I’ve settled on some type of granule because I don’t want to be out there spraying every day.
I don’t need to get rid of the cats completely, they just need to stop pooing in freshly turned dirt.
I’m thinking of either wolf urine granules or Repel Dog & Cat Repellent or Gardeners Supply Company Dog and Cat Repellent.
I’m leaning toward the urine because I think it would be safe to sprinkle around my garlic bed.
I don’t want to mess with pepper or coffee grounds or anything that’s just going to blow or wash away easily, and mothballs are out too.
Have you had success with any of these products or what do you recommend?
I have 2 male dogs and 3 cats( 2 are male). I have had all pets for quite some time and they are all fixed. I recently purchased a new ottoman( the one male cat thinks I bought it for him) and have noticed one of them are either spraying or peeing on it. The corners are soaked and some of the carpet also. This is happening everyday when i come home from work and sometimes when i wake in the morning. The one dog I believed it to be ( loves to mark when on walk) had its urine checked and came back negative. I tried to video tape while at work but the tape did not last all day…my question is how much spray does come out when a cat marks? is it enough to soak the furniture and the carpet? the smell is bad…any ideas..
oh and i did spray using a cat/dog deterrent and that only worked for a couple days
