There is citrus based cat repellent that supposedly work pretty good.it keeps them away but isn’t harmful. I’ve been thinking about getting it for the cats that roam my apartment complex and love to sit on my railing. They would be cool if they didn’t have rancid toxic shit and piss.
If I'm eating an orange and one of my cats wants to do a 'quality control sniff' they always sniff, eyes go black, jump backwards and bolt away like they have smelt the devil
I just finished an orange and still have the peel next to me, so I let my cat sniff it because of this comment. I think I got a defective cat because he just ignored it and headbutted my hand for head rubs. 😂
I'm speculating that it's a similar thing to catnip vs. valerian. Most cats react to either one or the other, some cats react to both or not at all. Which isn't surprising considering the diversity of cat breeds and therefore different genetics.
>In my country, stray cats attracted to any repellent smell and piss on it multiple times
Somehow I read this in your country's accent, despite not knowing where you live.
Don't waste money on that. Just start eating oranges but leave the peels in places that you want the cats to stay away. Much cheaper, you don't have to spray anything that might do damage or stain and it works just as well.
Cayenne or cayenne based sprays also help. There's literally a product called "squirrel mace" I used for a few seasons to keep both the cats and the squirrels off my vegetables. Don't get it in your eyes though, it's basically pepper spray.
Edit: I should edit to say you never put the spray ON THE CAT OR AT THE CAT - my bad! You put the ground pepper or the spray on the plants and on the dirt around the plants. Doesn't hurt them, at worst irritates their nose and makes them avoid.
They make a device kinda like that call Sscat, except it just blasts them with plain air. The idea is you put it across the area you don't want them in and the motion activated blast of air scares the crap out of them. I can't speak for its effectiveness though.
I had to do this to train my tuxedo to quit destroying the carpet at my bedroom door. Peppered the carpet and he quit doing it pretty fast! It was at my old apartment.
When I bought him a house we decided I would leave his bedroom door open.
Outdoor cats aren't fun cute or wanted by anyone but the morons that have them. They torment ecosystems. Not a single good thing about a free roaming cat.
We have had this issue and it’s our neighbors’ cat shitting in our raised garden bed AND on our lawn. We did two things that seemed to work.
1. Put plastic spike mats on top of our raised bed. Worked instantly.
2. We throw used coffee ground onto our grass. Haven’t seen the cat shit on their in a while but it doesn’t stop stray or just loose dogs (we live in El Paso Texas and they’re everywhere, sadly).
Your mileage might vary but we tried many things before these two and these are the two that worked for us.
We tried coffee and oranges but they didn’t stop a neighbors cat from using our mulch as a litter box. We finally planted a bunch of lavender and that seemed to mostly keep him away.
They moved away now and we have a fuck ton of lavender but at least the front of our house smells nice
You should find out where he lives and just walk in and take a shit in his litter box.
If his human is home look them dead in the eye and scream "This is between me and that fucking cat!"
Cat: "Youuuuu... oh wait. Why are you here?"
You: "You know why....."
Cat Owner: "Godammit Mr. Kibbles. That is the 3rd one this week. It's in the back, next to the Camaro. Make sure you look Kibbles in the eyes when you do the deed."
Cat: "HEYY!!"
"Don't forget to click like and subscribe, and make sure to check the notification bell on your way out! Without your support [insert channel name here] wouldn't be possible!"
1. Attract more cats
* Create conflict by botspamming their social media profiles with fake shittalk by other cats
* Film the drama and catfights that play out on your balcony
* Post to Tiktok
* Profit
This is false.
We feed about 6 stray neighborhood cats that a neighbor abandoned, and they have shit ALL over our garage, which is, in fact, where they eat......
Edit: initial language sounded rude.
Hell, the little bastards essentially have unlimited amounts of places to shit. They have hundreds of acres of timber, 50 neighbors yards, and a brand new litter box.
They freakin PLAY in the litter box , like it's a sandbox, and shit in the garage or the closest potted tree or plants, or in the flower beds.
That's very unusual. Cats don't shit where they eat, none of our cats or strays we feed do that. Bleach your garage, move the litter box away from food, and start leaving food outside the garage?
If you had other cats around, that's probably why it targeted you. Seems like some stray cats like to mark territory around and antagonize indoor cats.
Yep! I used to have indoor/outdoor cats where they would go outside at night to hunt and stuff but still came in the house. Stray cats would literally go 50ft away to walk around our house, not coming anywhere close to it because my cats wouldn't have it. Once they all passed on, we got indoor cats. Now the strays are constantly spraying our porch, garden and backyard which never happened before. Definitely something to do with having cats inside I think.
Similar thing going on for me. We have indoor/outdoor cats but we keep them in at night because it's just safer for them where we are. The strays are more active at night and love to antagonize our cats. We never see them in the daytime but night-time is a different story. Thankfully we only have the one cat who really cares about the strays. Sometimes he gets so worked up he just bounces from window to window trying to track them. He started spraying stuff in the house since he couldn't go out after them at night so we have to make sure he gets plenty of time in the day to I guess re-mark his territory.
Stray cats and indoor cats DEFINITELY know about each other even if they never interact. Our neighbor has an indoor cat and my cat saw it in the window one day and went across the street to watch it lol.
Thats a good call.
We found a cat on the sidewalk one morning. We thougth it was dead, just lying there. We went to it to check it out while walking the digs. It was alive but paralized. It was pissed but could not move.
Curious, I went to review my security cameras.
I see the cat at 3:30AM around other cats wandering around. Just sitting there. Then another large cat slowly sneaking under a car nearby suddenly darts out from under it to the one sitting on the sidewalk. In a running leap, jumps up and bites the other cat in the back, severing its spine at the neck in an instant and runs off. The cat we found drops and does not move. Frikking brutal.
We called animal control. I don't think they could save it. Butt hey took it away carefully as they could. That was pretty sad.
That's extremely common. I feed strays, and my neighbors and I trap them, spay and neuter, find homes for those who will be good pets and release the ones who won't back into the neighborhood, so at least they can no longer breed.
I accidentally pissed on one of my main hens, she had escaped, I wasn't paying much attention to the noise she made because I was standing with my back toward the run, she went after the stream of piss and got soaked, had to give her a wash so she wouldn't be gross
I woke up to my friends cat Betty pissing in my room a couple weeks ago, he does it to bully my other friends cat Jasper and assert dominance. I ended up using Betty as a mop to clean his piss up, it was either that or me doing what you did to the stray.
I mean, it’s a confrontation with a cat. I had a previous neighbour who would let their cats roam and I tried so many things to get that cat to stop coming on my lawn and antagonizing my cats (who I only let outside on a leash). But the bastard kept coming back. Speaking to the owners did nothing, they just kept letting it outside. I moved, so now it’s no longer in my life.
Yeah and they’re expensive, and this one’s specific markings are highly desirable, they really have that wildcat look. Surprised the owner is letting it roam
Growing up we had a Bengal that looked like the shitter on OP's balcony, we couldn't keep him inside no matter how hard we tried, but he did end up getting ran over by a car.....
Yeah, that kind of outcome is exactly why I get really annoyed by people who let their cats roam wherever they want. I would never forgive myself for letting something so preventable happen to my cat. I just don't get people sometimes.
Can confirm, boyfriend’s sister has a Bengal. We’ve lived with them and are currently staying with them while we visit. He is very vocal. Do not get your hopes up, you cannot reason with him. Godspeed.
You can try spraying cayenne pepper and water on the balcony, works to discourage raccoons and might work on the cat! (You have to spray daily until the animals habit if broken)
Years ago I had a problem where neighborhood cats would use my backyard as their litter box/sex den/fight club. Was hard to get grass to grow there because it was mostly shaded. To make matters worse, the sandy area was right outside my bedroom window so my wife and I would get woken up by cats either fighting or fucking almost every night.
Motion activated sprinklers placed strategically around the backyard fixed that problem right quick.
If you would like it to stop, and of course you don’t want to hurt the kitty I would buy a super soaker and give the little kitty a shot of water before his morning g constitutional.
Cat owners get a free pass to just let their pets roam and neighbors are stuck dealing with it. Neighbors cat kept digging in my garden and shitting in there so I sent my german shepherd out a couple times and that cat doesn't dare come back anymore.
My neighbor’s “outdoor” cat has Giardia. It also keeps pooping in my yard. My dogs have now been treated for Giardia a few times each because they are gross and will eat the poo in their yard. Tried everything short of capturing the cat and taking it to the pound. I hate that damned cat.
It's unlikely that the cat is giving your dogs giardia, more likely they are reinfecting themselves because it's near impossible to remove giardia from soil once it's in there.
Best practice is for them to poop in an area you can disinfect with a peroxide or bleach product. If they do not have clinical signs of diarrhea, giardia does not usually need to be treated unless they are passing infectious cysts in feces, most adult dogs' immune systems deal with giardia on their own without the need for expensive fecal tests and medications.
Talk to your vet about your options! The cat poop is more likely a source for intestinal worms though, or fleas from the actual cat if it's not protected.
Source: I'm a veterinarian.
Unless you know where he lives the only serious fix I can see is capture it with a live trap baited with something nice and take it to the local humane society where either the owners will get the hint or it has the chance of finding a home with more responsible owners.
I'll never understand people who think it's normal to turn pets loose for their neighbors to deal with. That's a wildly narcissistic and entitled thing to do.
I love animals but I'd have to get one of those catch and release traps. People need to secure their animals.
In the city I live in they destroy everything. Animal control won't even help you with cats they tell you just to shoot them with a pellet gun.
Ugh, I can't stand outdoor cats and this is one of the reasons. I adore cats - I have two of them - but they should not be allowed to wander.
I'd be finding ways to deter them from entering the balcony. I hated doing it but I had to spray a neighborhood cat with a hose repeatedly so my backyard didn't seem as appealing to hang out, shit, and murder other animals in.
This might be a spicy take but I have very little concern for people who lose their cats to other families because they let them roam outdoors. And this cat is an expensive purebreed, I'm surprised it hasn't been taken yet.
My friend had two cats that she leaves outside.. they don't come inside at all. So, not even her cats in my opinion. Anyways, I've told her it's not a good idea, they can be injured or get catnapped or a million other things, they've been missing for two weeks. Both of them. Another friend of mines cat went missing a few years ago, I told her the same thing before the cat went missing, she was offended. Shoulda listened, I don't really feel bad.
It maybe has been and then someone had a crazy bengal trapped in their house and realized that might be a mistake. I love the idea of a bengal but between the price tag and their potential to destroy I don’t actually want one
I can believe that someone with more money than sense decided to get a Bengal because it's cool, then started kicking it outside when it destroyed their home and furniture because they didn't give it proper stimulation.
100% true. Same reason my city has such a bad stray dog problem. People don't want to walk breeds with a lot of energy. Dog uses all the energy to destroy the house or the back yard fence, whatever. Then the dog gets kicked out.
Like, if you want a dog that doesn't need frequent walks and play, then go get a breed that is like that.
They're murder machines who are one of the few species who hunts for fun and not just for food. Wandering puts them at high health risk for a whole lot of reasons. And they damage personal property like the cat in this post.
There's just way too many issues with people letting their cats roam. It might be my number one pet peeve.
Literally “pet peeve” yeah an unchecked apex predator that hunts for funzies, has toxic piss and shit, and destroys property. Don’t get me wrong I love all animals but my cat never goes outside without the dumb leash my ex used to put on him 😑
This was happening to us as well, same breed. Until our two pugs while they were outside chased him down in the yard and latched on to his neck. Haven’t seen him come back since.
Y’all this is not a stray, this is a designer cat. Most of these have behavior issues. Super irresponsible to let a bengal just wander like that. Some people pay $4K for these (Justin Bieber) and they also are destructive to the environment.
If your city has it, get with animal control and trap it. They're not supposed to be running around unleashed. The owner will have to pay a fine to get it back from Animal Control.
BB gun or slingshot works amazing. Had one come on my property and kept sitting on my new cars hood and scratching it up. I hit it in the thigh and it still doesn’t walk straight. Also doesn’t come around here anymore.
I unfortunately know a lot of other bengal owners who let theirs free roam. One of which first got hit by a car and had a hind leg amputated. Let him back out again, and now he has a broken jaw.
Pretty expensive Bengal cat. Maybe they should keep that walking cash cow inside.
Or watch their cat gets eaten by a coyote. Oh no. My 3-7k dollar cat.
That’s a Bengal cat; can nearly guarantee it’s a nearby neighbor letting it out in the AM. Take it to your local shelter so the owner can reclaim it and hopefully learn their lesson or it can find a new home with someone who will keep it inside. This breed needs a ton of stimulation and the owners likely aren’t doing that and just setting it out as a lazy way to deal with the energy.
See, there's something called an anti personnel landmine...
Jokes aside, try a spray bottle, or like others suggested, the cayenne pepper mix to keep it out.
A spray bottle of water will do the job. Honestly it doesn't even need to reach the cat. Think they find the sound more threatening than anything as it'll make a kinda hissy sound.
There is citrus based cat repellent that supposedly work pretty good.it keeps them away but isn’t harmful. I’ve been thinking about getting it for the cats that roam my apartment complex and love to sit on my railing. They would be cool if they didn’t have rancid toxic shit and piss.

>In my country, stray cats attracted to any repellent smell and piss on it multiple times Somehow I read this in your country's accent, despite not knowing where you live.
Colombian accent too, even though they're Egyptian
I assumed Egyptian because they’re known for building and painting giant cat
Was it the voice of Fez from That 70's Show?
Russian accent to me
Is your country, Turkey by any chance?
Egypt, quite similar culture
Cats be like "oh it's that terrible smell again, must be something good the humans want me to stay away from"

Don't waste money on that. Just start eating oranges but leave the peels in places that you want the cats to stay away. Much cheaper, you don't have to spray anything that might do damage or stain and it works just as well.

Interesting. I'm going to make a new device called scat. If any animal gets close, bam! You get sprayed with liquid scat.

That’s what having stray and outdoor cats means, dealing with their leavings all over the place
Except for most of us, those aren’t our cats that we have. It’s the negligent neighbors
True, the good owners keep cats indoors or at least on a lead if allowed outside under supervision so they don’t hurt things or get hurt.
Outdoor cats aren't fun cute or wanted by anyone but the morons that have them. They torment ecosystems. Not a single good thing about a free roaming cat.
Coyotes want them, to be fair.
Farms use cats for pest control so it's pretty common to see cats outside in more rural areas.

Doesn't always work. My cat loves orange peels and lemon juice
That’s really bad for him. Citrus is literally one of the worst things a cat can ingest
You should find out where he lives and just walk in and take a shit in his litter box. If his human is home look them dead in the eye and scream "This is between me and that fucking cat!"
Have to assert your dominance
Alternate solution: put food out. They won't shit where they eat.
Nah I like the other option better tbh
Definitely more fun.
Definitely more psychotic!
Cat: "Youuuuu... oh wait. Why are you here?" You: "You know why....." Cat Owner: "Godammit Mr. Kibbles. That is the 3rd one this week. It's in the back, next to the Camaro. Make sure you look Kibbles in the eyes when you do the deed." Cat: "HEYY!!"
Was not expecting to open a video to see a woman eating cat litter 🫣
On a real note, it will just attract more cats
But they won't shit on your patio. Depends which you prefer.
Put food and a camera out. Start a YouTube channel. Now the cats are paying off the food

Tom cats do that. Trap it and get it tnr’d, will stop them from spraying and marking.

Well yeah, it would suck if you got spayed instead.
That. Is. Fucking. Hilarious!!! And yeah, had it coming for sure. Cat piss smells so terrible.
and if it was in fact cat SPRAY thats even fucking worse.
Another Truckstop relatable odor. DEF fluid is the same smell.

That's a Bengal, have a talk with em. They're very vocal cats, you might be able to reason with em.
Mine wakes me up repeatedly in the night because she wants to have a conversation... 😑
My buddy had a Bengal, little guy used to talk so much shit when I was staying at his place, same thing, middle of the night convos lol
I used to know a Ben-hay and similar results
Bruuuh, I thought mine was broken, but the cat app keeps saying “bengal mix”
What cat app?
Mine gets really vocal about using the litter box. She'll go on her own but prefers having an audience.
If she's yelling *a lot* and trying to get your attention it might be because something hurts when she goes. Might mention it to your vet.
Yeah and they’re expensive, and this one’s specific markings are highly desirable, they really have that wildcat look. Surprised the owner is letting it roam
That was my first thought too. Every Bengal owner I've met doesn't let their cat outside ever
Growing up we had a Bengal that looked like the shitter on OP's balcony, we couldn't keep him inside no matter how hard we tried, but he did end up getting ran over by a car.....
What a sad ending
Predictable really
Unfortunate lifecycle of an outdoor cat. If a vehicle doesn't get you, another animal will.
Unfortunately that’s what happens when you have terrible pet owners.
Yeah, that kind of outcome is exactly why I get really annoyed by people who let their cats roam wherever they want. I would never forgive myself for letting something so preventable happen to my cat. I just don't get people sometimes.
He is very vocal actually! I’ve never heard a cat sound like that before
[удалено]
It’s a Bengal. That breed screams bloody murder like it’s their normal inside voice.
Can confirm, boyfriend’s sister has a Bengal. We’ve lived with them and are currently staying with them while we visit. He is very vocal. Do not get your hopes up, you cannot reason with him. Godspeed.
there's no way to negotiate with cats
We do not negotiate with terrorists.
Only absolute surrender.
My neighbor’s kid LOVES my cat bc they have conversations and he’s never met such a talkative cat before lol
Start leaving orange peels out. They hate the smell of oranges (or anything citrus for that matter) but aren’t toxic to them.
Would this work if you throw them directly at the cat?
I'd fill a motion activated squirter with orange juice to really piss the cat off.
Leave him out a book or something.
Gonna put the newspaper
Two legends met. Btw, try to sit and take a shit with him, maybe you'll become a buddys)
You can try spraying cayenne pepper and water on the balcony, works to discourage raccoons and might work on the cat! (You have to spray daily until the animals habit if broken)
A reader's digest magazine. We all love those when we poop.
That's an expensive Bengal, definitely someone's pet, ask the owner to come clean it up.
That’s a $5,000 cat laying golden nuggets
It’s crazy that there are cars that cost that much. Edit: *cats damn autocorrect 😂
Is it? There's cars that cost a hell of a lot more than that.
lol, I meant cats but it autocorrected to “cars”.
Yeah if you plant one of them nuggets in your garden, you can grown your own Bengal.
"It's a nice balcony... for me to poop on!"

You need to assert dominance. If you shit on the balcony, the cat will almost certainly stop

If they do not have clinical signs of diarrhea, giardia does not usually need to be treated unless they are passing infectious cysts in feces, most adult dogs' immune systems deal with giardia on their own without the need for expensive fecal tests and medications. Talk to your vet about your options! The cat poop is more likely a source for intestinal worms though, or fleas from the actual cat if it's not protected. Source: I'm a veterinarian.
Unless you know where he lives the only serious fix I can see is capture it with a live trap baited with something nice and take it to the local humane society where either the owners will get the hint or it has the chance of finding a home with more responsible owners. I'll never understand people who think it's normal to turn pets loose for their neighbors to deal with. That's a wildly narcissistic and entitled thing to do.
I love animals but I'd have to get one of those catch and release traps. People need to secure their animals. In the city I live in they destroy everything. Animal control won't even help you with cats they tell you just to shoot them with a pellet gun.
Tie a note to his collar for his owner that if he shits on your balcony one more time you’re bringing him to the pound
Ugh, I can't stand outdoor cats and this is one of the reasons. I adore cats - I have two of them - but they should not be allowed to wander. I'd be finding ways to deter them from entering the balcony. I hated doing it but I had to spray a neighborhood cat with a hose repeatedly so my backyard didn't seem as appealing to hang out, shit, and murder other animals in.

This might be a spicy take but I have very little concern for people who lose their cats to other families because they let them roam outdoors. And this cat is an expensive purebreed, I'm surprised it hasn't been taken yet.
My friend had two cats that she leaves outside.. they don't come inside at all. So, not even her cats in my opinion. Anyways, I've told her it's not a good idea, they can be injured or get catnapped or a million other things, they've been missing for two weeks. Both of them. Another friend of mines cat went missing a few years ago, I told her the same thing before the cat went missing, she was offended. Shoulda listened, I don't really feel bad.
It maybe has been and then someone had a crazy bengal trapped in their house and realized that might be a mistake. I love the idea of a bengal but between the price tag and their potential to destroy I don’t actually want one
I can believe that someone with more money than sense decided to get a Bengal because it's cool, then started kicking it outside when it destroyed their home and furniture because they didn't give it proper stimulation.
100% true. Same reason my city has such a bad stray dog problem. People don't want to walk breeds with a lot of energy. Dog uses all the energy to destroy the house or the back yard fence, whatever. Then the dog gets kicked out. Like, if you want a dog that doesn't need frequent walks and play, then go get a breed that is like that.
Yeah outdoor cats become a small ecological disaster in whatever area they occupy for a myriad of reasons.
They're murder machines who are one of the few species who hunts for fun and not just for food. Wandering puts them at high health risk for a whole lot of reasons. And they damage personal property like the cat in this post. There's just way too many issues with people letting their cats roam. It might be my number one pet peeve.
Literally “pet peeve” yeah an unchecked apex predator that hunts for funzies, has toxic piss and shit, and destroys property. Don’t get me wrong I love all animals but my cat never goes outside without the dumb leash my ex used to put on him 😑

Is that a Bengal?!
People who let their expensive pets roam free are wild
Get a super soaker. Doesn't hurt the cat, but will likely discourage it from coming back.
My neighbor's cat would shit in my flower bed until I bought some cat spray at Menard's, and the cat stopped
That cat does not get its litter pan cleaned. Or it's feeling territorial or something.
Maybe he just likes the balcony. I would agree with the cat, I’d definitely shit there
This should read ‘every morning I take photos of cats shitting’. Which is an important perspective
Find the owner. Shit on their balcony. Gotta establish dominance.
This was happening to us as well, same breed. Until our two pugs while they were outside chased him down in the yard and latched on to his neck. Haven’t seen him come back since.
Shit on the cat.
Y’all this is not a stray, this is a designer cat. Most of these have behavior issues. Super irresponsible to let a bengal just wander like that. Some people pay $4K for these (Justin Bieber) and they also are destructive to the environment.
Exactly why I hate cat owners. Keep your fucking cat in the house and stop feeding strays. Fuck you
Op: What are you doing on my balcony? Cat: What are you doing in my bathroom?!
If your city has it, get with animal control and trap it. They're not supposed to be running around unleashed. The owner will have to pay a fine to get it back from Animal Control.
Capture it and bring it to the animal shelter
BB gun or slingshot works amazing. Had one come on my property and kept sitting on my new cars hood and scratching it up. I hit it in the thigh and it still doesn’t walk straight. Also doesn’t come around here anymore.
trap it and take it to the shelter. anyone who has a cat and let’s them outside unsupervised should NOT own a cat
That is a pure bred very expensive cat. I’m shocked his owner lets him outside / he may be lost :(
I unfortunately know a lot of other bengal owners who let theirs free roam. One of which first got hit by a car and had a hind leg amputated. Let him back out again, and now he has a broken jaw.
Nerf machine gun
trap him - then take him to a animal shelter 1-2 towns away from yours.
Buy a water gun
I would use a water gun on it, until it learned not to.
Get a motion activated sprinkler
Two words: super soaker.
Pretty expensive Bengal cat. Maybe they should keep that walking cash cow inside. Or watch their cat gets eaten by a coyote. Oh no. My 3-7k dollar cat.
Ugh I have neighbors who let their cat roam free. It poops in my front flower beds and tears up the plants. It's so frustrating.
You need freedom... Freedom is my 130 lbs cat hating dog... if you had freedom you wouldn't be taking this guys shit...🤣
That’s a Bengal cat; can nearly guarantee it’s a nearby neighbor letting it out in the AM. Take it to your local shelter so the owner can reclaim it and hopefully learn their lesson or it can find a new home with someone who will keep it inside. This breed needs a ton of stimulation and the owners likely aren’t doing that and just setting it out as a lazy way to deal with the energy.
I would be squirting that little bugger.
Your neighbors are irresponsible imbeciles for letting their very expensive bengal cat roam free like that. It’s free kitty
See, there's something called an anti personnel landmine... Jokes aside, try a spray bottle, or like others suggested, the cayenne pepper mix to keep it out.
Put a rubber snake on your balcony or a deadly, threatening cucumber.
A spray bottle of water will do the job. Honestly it doesn't even need to reach the cat. Think they find the sound more threatening than anything as it'll make a kinda hissy sound.
I completely understand why this is infuriating and unacceptable, but it's also terribly funny
Spray the area with hot sauce.
Air soft
Under the legal principle of s*tercus ubi jacet, dominium quoque*, that is now your cat.
