Many of you know I have a cat. Since we moved back to CA, and into this house, he has been spraying urine in one area of the dining room.
Cats typically do this when they are stressed and anxious. I think a big reason for the spraying is that neighborhood cats (and there are several) come over to our house, in our yard, and in front and howl loudly at night. And this TORMENTS my indoor cats.
I’ve called Animal Control. There is no leash law for cats (as w/dogs), but animals are not supposed to trespass on private property (Right…)
The Animal Control lady suggested I rent a live trap, bait it with stinky cat food and wait. She said I can then see if the cat has an ID tag. If so, I can either call the owner or call AC and they will pick it up.
This is a rental and it looks like we will be replacing the carpet in the DR before we leave. It frustrates me that people let their cats roam at night. There are so many coyotes around here.
So, will our house get splattered with eggs if we start trapping wandering cats and calling AC? I can see how this could really piss someone off.
I dont know what to do so I thought I would appeal to you rational, intelligent people for help!

P.S. No, we are not going to get rid of our cat. We love him too much.
