We have a neutered male outdoors cat. There are at least two neighbor
cats, obviously not neutered, who come onto our porch to eat Blackie's
food. They spray on the porch furniture, the side of the house, etc.
Is there any way to deter the strays from coming to the porch WITHOUT
harming Blackie?
(Besides mothballs. It's hard to enjoy the porch when all we can smell
is the mothballs.)

Thanks

I don't know anything but mothballs. Maybe ask your neighbors to
neuter their cats??? Catch them and have them neutered???

(1) Anytime you see them on your porch, squirt them with water.

(2) Can you feed your own cat inside? Without any food there, your
porch might become less attractive.

Try in the garage, too.
