Hi,
Have any of you got any ideas on how i can deal with this situation?!
We are cat lovers and have two cats of our own but over the past few months there has been a random cat around our yard (no collar and very timid, but looks quite well fed so not sure if it is a stray or not).
Our two cats don't seen too bothered about it, they let it into their space without any hissing or fighting but this cat has started coming into the house and spraying everywhere - I'm fed up of trying to get rid of cat wee smells!
We have a magnetic cat flap which is supposed to only open if the cat has a magnet on their collar. However, this random cat has worked out that the cat flap opens if it whacks it hard (magnet or no magnet!) We have already replaced one cat flap as it managed to shatter the plastic flap and this current one is on the way out too!
I wouldn't mind so much if it was just eating cat food, but spraying/weeing everywhere is just so horrible and last night it sat outside our bedroom door and howled!! (not impressed - I like my sleep)
The cat runs off every time it hears us coming so we've no chance of getting near it.
Any ideas what we can do to stop it coming in the house. I don't really want to block the cat flap because of our two cats.
Thanks
H
