cat spraying

[ed]

got it chaps, many thanks

I just tried opera and there was not even an icon.
I turned off the block ads switch and the link appeared.
with firefox I have ghostery turned on but there was no difference when I turned ghostery off and a refresh....go figure.

a closing anecdote..
the gizmos look very similar(in function) to a circuit I cooked up in my last house in lincs..
I took up the previous owners chicken yard and laid half an acre of lawn .
about 2 weeks after the first mow a mole arrived...mmm..
I duly caught him, put him in a bucket of earth and transported him about 2 miles away and left him in a set aside field.
about 2 days later another mole appeared...so I asked around and all the local country folk said ultrasonics is the answer to moles.
so I built the ultrasonic circuit, 555 and piezo if I remember and laid it in one of the tunnels.....
oh yeah......
I kid you not....I took 14 moles out of that lawn and re-located them....
it's not the answer to moles....

if the cat continues to bug me I will try out a variation of my mouse trap...motion detector and ultrasonic beep.

A while back cat's kept crapping on my lawn and I googled it and put a few half filled tesco water bottles on the lawn...seemed to do the trick...I have a half filled tesco water bottle in the work room but that hasn't deterred this cat from spraying.

Quick aside.... although we've successfully used the amazon thingies they don't deter our very welcome resident Commodus the hedgehog. From time to time he has 'guests' too.

They don't seem bothered by ultra sonics!

Hedgehogs is very accomplished climbers.
A frame wit chicken wire wouldn't do nuffink

You would be amazed to see what equipment they carry in their rucksacks.

I was referring to the cats. Also I envisioned something that would completely fill the open doorway.

does anybody know of any method(s) to stop a cat spraying in the house. I have a recurring problem in my work room. I read on the web that washing down with vinegar is effective, but I've done that 2 or 3 times now and it still happens.

Cats rarely sit still for this so you've done well.

Joking apart - we had this problem with a neighbour's female cat. She (cat) discoloured the divan base. We had to make sure she couldn't get upstairs though we're very fond of her and allow her downstairs.
You can get a chemical spray from the vets containing enzymes supposed to digest animal contamination. We used to use something years ago when the baby puked. It was very effective but not sure if it will deal with cat wee.
