Susco Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) Every morning I find under my carport, right in front of my entrance door, a small puddle. As I have a completely walled property, I suspect it's a cat that jumps over the wall, as on a few occasions I noticed a cat during the night. The small puddles only started maybe a week ago, and are always in the same location. You think this could be from a cat, and how to stop it?

Walls are over 2 meter high, so doubt it will be a dog. The puddle is also really small, so not sure if another animal like a Tokay would do this. The strange thing is that it's always in the same location right in front of the entrance door, while the carport has approx 35m² of tiled floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't measured them, but I estimate they are less than 10 cm by less than 5 cm. Only wonder why it is always in the same spot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffr2 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I've heard pepper works great.

They can climb over walls and the gaps under the main gate. They not only pee but poo on my grasses. They come during the night when everyone is asleep and I have caught them by surprise but they can run very fast. If it is just one spot, it's easy to control, just pour vinegar on that spot. The stray cats pee and poo everywhere in my lawn. Sometimes, if I put my helmet out, they will also pee there.

millymoopoo Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Aluminium ammonium hydroxide powder, commercially known as SKAT in Australia. Quite harmless chemical but dogs, cats and birds hate it. Just scatter some dust around the site and maybe on top of the wall you think they are coming over.

KKr Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Lots of shredded dried chilly after cutting the grass for sure keeps dogs and cats away. in rainy season to be repeated rather frequently. birds like the seeds, so if you don’t like birds either, a night visor and paint ball gun are recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NCC1701A Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2020 if it was cat urine you would know. the smell is horrible and unique. cats are extremely meticulous about how and where they do their business. they urinate in dirt so they can cover it up or will find a place in your house to do it like a kitty litter box. All my cats without any instruction knew to urinate over the shower drain. but they also speak English so I am not sure if this makes a difference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, they are also in the back Thai kitchen and found they had sprayed there. Sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
