    There is a stray tom cat that passes my house nightly and sprays! The smell is so bad. Can anyone recommend anything to stop him.

    I am a cat owner so cant have anything that will upset my own cats! If i could catch him i would get him neutered but i rarely see him apart from when he is attacking one of my own!

    Also can anyone recommend something good to get rid of the smell.:(

    thanks

    Read somewhere that cats dont like citrus peel.
    Perhaps put a bowl outside with orange peel or something.

    Havent tried this myself so dont know if it'll work for sure but worth the shot!!!!!!!!

    Good luck

    You may be able to borrow a cage from the local vet or rescue group.

    Use tuna as bait.

    Get in touch with your local cat rescue group like The Cat Action trust, they could trap him, neuter him and release him.

    Apparently pepper is really good for deterring cats, sprinkle some over the area maybe?
