ParticipantYikes! My best friend from L.A. is here for the weekend. I told her about this site and while I was upstairs working, she checked out this site on my laptop and apparently created an account. Frankly, I think her choice of user name is a bit offensive…but I didnt realize she was logged in when I used aforementioned laptop to post the cat thread. After I hit “send” I was like “huh???”
I’m terribly sorry if I posted a non-housing market thread. Wont do that again.
And, for the record, I’m not saying that we are going to start trapping cats. Just wanted to get other opinions and you all seem like a smart, thoughtful group of individuals.I respect your opinions. It’s what Animal Control is suggesting I do and I’m at my wit’s end. My cat IS neutered, has never sprayed before, and it’s very frustrating. He is very territorial and stressed by the cats who taunt him by leisurely strutting around our backyard. I suppose we’ll just replace the carpet before we leave.
Cheers, B

ParticipantActually, trapping the strays is the most humane way to do it, but my guess is that would be only temporary, as more cats will come.
What about that stuff you put down around the outside perimeter to keep the cats away? They don’t like the smell. The bad thing is, after a rain you have to reapply it.

ParticipantYou can rent one of those Rug Doctors that they have at VONS or Home Depot and clean the carpet with that and it’ll get rid of the smell. Since you can’t do that every week, you can use XO http://www.xocorp.com and it will get rid of the smell in between cleanings. It works like a charm, but you may have to order it online.
Generally, if you spay/neuter your cat before they first go into heat, they will not spray, but there are always plenty of exceptions to this rule. Both males and females will spray, but an unfixed male will spray everywhere.
I’d guess that the previous owners of the place had a cat that sprayed in that spot or near it and the cat is just marking it “Mine”, the smell can linger for years.
Good luck.
