Cat spraying onto wall sockets

    My cat has taken to spraying onto two of the wall sockets in the kitchen. I came downstairs to hear crackling coming from the socket and have caught her in the act of doing it also. She fortunately didn't get a shock but she has blown the fuses twice. She is spayed but is there any product out there that would deter her from doing it again?

    What about getting the plug in plug covers? The ones to stop kids sticking their fingers in?

    Can't link coz I'm on my phone

    You could get some child proof socket covers for the plugs. You'd need to get rid of the smell, ordinary cleaning products don't work and the protein in the urine comes back. You could dilute some biological washing powder/liquid and wipe down where she's spraying. Once they can smell where they've marked they'll continue to spray that area.

    As it happens I saw these in Lidl today for 1.99 per pack of 2.

    Cats don't like citrus smells - I find fresh lemon juice deters my two.
