Hi all,

The psycho dogman next door now has a cat.      As much as I love cats, this
darned thing keeps coming into my backyard and picks on 'my' cat.

I separated a cat fight yesterday and will have to keep on taking my cat to
the vet to treat abbcesses on the bum ('cause it's getting too old to run
away fast enough).

Anyhow, I've been told that spraying the fences and gate will do the trick.
One woman said to spray detergent whilst a chap said to mix some chilli and
garlic powder to use.

What do you folk suggest?     Is it sufficient to spray a gate/fence tops
remembering that a cat is only at the top for 2.5 seconds while it jumps
over or will the scent of the spray be enough to keep the cat 10 feet way,
etc. *shrug*

Does your cat have claws?

Wouldn't ammonia work better?

Yes, the cat has claws but at 17 it's getting too old to run away fast
enough and keeps getting bit/scratched on the bum.

Ammonia?  I don't know, will it work better?

Don't spray toxic substances try improving/cat proofing the fence. If it's
wood add several ft. of chicken mesh (fencing) using wood frame or slats to
staple it to. Cats dislike metal fences and will not climb the fine metal
lattice after testing it ( the wobble & claws get stuck in it).
