Ok... I have a little problem with an unwanted cat in my garden. I have two female neutered cats who are kinda house cats but like to roam a little in the garden and we have just installed a cat flap for them.

We've now had to close this up at night time, because a tomcat..... "One Ear" Red calls him..... keeps coming in..... he actually made it all the way upstairs and got stuck under our bed which really upset the two females.

We have also noticed that One Ear has been spraying the area around our house.

Has anyone had anything similar happen or have any advice on this??

Ooh-er.

Sounds like a weird problem you have there...

I remember catching a neighbours cat napping in our garden once but that's about it for me...

I wouldnt mind that napping in the garden.... its just that he keeps trying to get in... which freaks our cats out, and then bacause he hasnt been "done" I dont want him spraying in the house.....yuk!

I can imagine how you are feeling.

We had a cat that fits the description of the male cat you are talking about... we got rid of it 3 years ago.

We got a few complaints from our neighbours...

the thing with a tom is that they can roam for miles and spray everywhere

we keep having cats around our garden too kizzy we must have had 3 last night not counting my 2 and not all at the smae time. I soon shooed them off though lol

my mum suggested a waterpistol.... but that means getting out of bed in the middle of the night

One time we were sure we had chased him away and shut the cat flap.... only tofind our two on the bed making angry noises and then finding 3 cats fighting under the bed....... it was very odd

Water pistol is a good deterrent for cats. Set Red up with the waterpistol aiming it at the cat flap and make him stand guard until one ear tries to infiltrate. LOL.

Yeah but..... you cant tell him

Get one of the girls to do it...... or we ground them for a month.

Have you had a look at infer red flaps?

Your cat has a key so it will unlock it only.

Now you see I thought they would be really expensive.... but there not really...... dont think my two would keep a collar on.... and if they didnt I would be fooked

*humph*

I shall send One Ear round to your flat and see how you like it

Kiz try sprinkling some strong pepper around the garden where he likes to hang out, also you could try throwing Red at him to see if that deters him!!

Seriously though some Red peppers or chilli seeds and pepper mix usually does the trick

Ohhhhhh Ta Sunny...... thats a cracking idea
Edit: I cant pick red up..... I could push him towards One Ear... but that might not do the same trick

We used to have a cat who used to be around my home, we had a dog then, and the cat was clawing my dog and attacking it in my own home so we got a water pistol and that did the trick, it hasn't been back since, well it has been in the road but no where near my house.
So water pistol would be a good idea.
(Felt sorry for the cat though, poor thing was drenched

Fine. Can you pluck it first. It could be rather tasty.

I sorry but that did make me chuckle

Yeah, at our old house we used to have a cat who used to sleep in our house all day. We didn't do anything about it.
When we went on holiday once, obviously we locked up the house and everything, and when we came back we never saw it again.

Someone once told me if you sprinkle dried sea urchin round that cats like to chew on it, it then makes their stomachs explode, end of cat problem!!!

These are the little fluffkins I am trying to make happier
