Aunty e Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Help! A horrid black tomcat keeps coming in my house, making eyes at Evie and spraying all over everything. I'm thinking of getting a magnetic catflap to stop him, but he's sprayed all over the garden as well, and it STINKS. What do I do? Arthur (bless him) is too soppy to scare it off, and only occassionally chases it out of the back garden. Evie's quite vicious, but sadly, also makes eyes at it. I don't want to have her neutered just yet, but is that the only way to get him to go away? W've NEVER had strange cats around before, which is why I didn't bother with a magnetic cat flap. Am tempted to catch said tom, and have him neutered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Can you findout who he belongs to & have a word about getting him the chop? Its pretty cheap - maybe you can offer to go halfs or something. If not try getting a water pistol & giving him a squirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Did you see Louise's thread on a problem cat? (possibly not tomcat though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I was just about to say the same thing about Louise Choccy. I'll see if I can find it and post a link..... I found a repeated drowning with a saucepan of water did the trick for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi Sarah, I had to resort to a bucket of water every time I saw the offending moggy which seems to be working It isn't a tom cat though I did have a stray cat a while back though that was an uneutered male so I borrowed a trap from the local charity and got a vet friend to neuter him The one thing the vet wanted to be clear on was that he was definitely a stray as if it had been someone elses pet he would not have touched him apprently they can be struck off for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 We had that last year - he was a stray, but I couldn't get near him to catch him to be neutered, so I got a magnetic flap and doused him with water - problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I quite liked Pirate (I even named him ) but once I let him go I never saw him again he was a bonny cat but just too smelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 A supersoaker should sort him out. Cats hate getting wet apparently! Blast him every time he trespasses ansd he'll soon get the message. Silent Roar is supposed to be good. My friend swears by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Could you imagine the cat's face lion something about silent roar just amuses me I hope you sort out the cat problem Auntye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Is Arthur a dog? If so that cat has more front then harrods My thought was water pistol (super soaker as Egluntine suggested ) and magnetic cat flap. Good luck Auntye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 how old is Evie now Auntie e? If she is 5 months or older it is possible that she is coming into season and he can smell it and that is why he is hanging around. You can try water but he will keep coming back if she is an entire female. Just a thought................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
