There is a stray cat that keeps coming to my house and left its poop behind, it's very frustrating to deal with this, so I decided to look for some cat repellent on Shopee.

So far, I'm looking for these two:

1. Daiso Cat Repellent (solid type)
2. Animal repellent mat

I'm thinking whether or not to buy both of them or just item no. 1 would serve the purpose well? I never use it before.

I'm not sure whether item no. 1 can serve as a long term solution to my problem?

And I'm also unsure how long I should be placing those repellent on my housing area.


Have any of you tried those products before? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Daiso cat repellent didn’t work. Daiso cat strips (spikes) also didn’t work - eventually destroyed by Alam Flora when cutting the grass.

Nothing works.. trust me i tried everything

just spray the area with vinegar, or put some orange peel. if doesn't work, then spray the cat with water (NOT HOT WATER)

Dog is best cat repellant

it either repel it or eat it

coba dettol...
most of stray cat will pass thru. if ur compound ada the type of smell they suka, sure keno. i takdo choice, bela stray cats out of kesian, train em since young. bila mau pp or pangsai, they will run back to ease themselves at poop pot provided for em.

You can try all the store bought means, but unfortunately I have to tell you that once a cat chooses a spot as the toilet, it will always go there.

Have you considered trapping the cat and relocating it elsewhere?

Then have to clean the dog poop ?

I tot the Daiso cat repellent made of sulphur powder, and the strong smell would somehow repelled the feline from coming any closer, so why is not working for your case? Really curious to know.
Presumably the cat strip/ repellent mat (whatever you call it), wasn't destroyed by the workers, do you think it can at least keep those stray cats away from the area? The reason I asked is because the area I plan to locate those mat are plain cement floor, no obstacles so far (I guess that's the main reason the stray keep coming to poop)

Thanks for the advice, it really seems to be a good idea. But the problem is I am living in a condo, I don't have any neighbors on my right (which is a small space where the stray cat used to poop) , but there's one malay old lady staying on the left side of my unit, and she used to complain whenever there's water flowing to her area (the floor). It's very difficult to explain to you, but I'd say it's the structure of the building itself that cause the issue, whenever I splashed water outside (just to wash the cat poop, the water will flow to her area, and she isn't happy with it ) and I really don't want to quarrel with this old lady, that's why I even choose the solid type repellent instead of the liquid one...

Frankly speaking, your statement is both correct and bold. My area here used to have a lot of stray cats and somehow the residents complaint it to the management. Guess how they solve it? Truth is, I heard dogs barking in the middle of the night (I even saw some dogs used to chased the stray out of the neighborhood on one early morning), this happened before the Mco, probably around 2019, the result was the stray population indeed declined, but it was still not a humane way to deal with it la. But this area here used to belongs to a Malay village, I guess that's their usual way of solving things related to stray cats...

Thanks for the advice, but my neighbor is another factor to deal with if I really have to splash the dettol... as she is a Malay old lady that used to complain to the management if there's water splashing to her area, I don't know how to explain it to you but the structure of the building itself is causing the water flowing to her area whenever I spray or splash any liquid outside (just to wash the cat poop) , she is an old lady so I really don't wanna quarrel with her la, that's why I even consider buying a solid type cat repellent.


Agreed. Unfortunately, it was some kind hearted people around the neighborhood that keep feeding the stray, I am not opposing the idea of being kind to the stray, but I wonder why don't these people choose to adopt them anyway? Instead of feeding them out of sympathy, aren't adoption would be a kind gesture?
And regarding the relocating and trapping, can you elaborate more? Relocating it to another area, isn't that's causing another problem to that area? I have never thought of that because I just want this stray cat to keep away from my area without much hassle, and not hurting it. Anyway thanks for the input.

Cats like to shit on sandy area

Removes those sandy spots

like others mentioned, most cat repellant are not so effective. some coba splash vinegar or dettol, even some putting the red color bottles. whatever it is, jangan splash, use pump spray gun. using dettol smells nicer, but won't guarantee. for cat poop, just wipe with dry tissue, then wash only on that part area, no need to splash water all over it, and mob/wipe to dry...
gua oledi coba using dettol, ada a little effects. here, stayin at landed, there are lots of stray cat pass thru. sometimes, carporch ada cat poop and pee. after me take care of 2stray, can say, no more happening. bila other stray comes, sure keno attack by this 2strays gua jaga.

There's go a bigger problem. Barking at midnight and clean their poo. Not to mention your shoes will be their toys too 🤬

Cats are not similar to dogs as pet. Cats are not 'wild' animals and are not known to go around bitting people unlike some dogs. No pet owners will chain or cage them.

The only workable solution is to trap them and send it to the animal shelter home.

I saw the Malay's neighbors placing the rose color water in the bottle & place it at their house entrance. I curiously asked the Malay's friend, what was the bottle with the rose color water for? They told me it was to fend off the cat to poop at their house. Not scientific proven, not sure it is working or not but everywhere I go, I can spot the water bottle filled with the rose color water.

when free can come to my taman train all those bodoh cats?

animal shelters are overcrowded and they wont accept stray just thrown at them. if not, everyday they have hundreds of animals dumped there. they are also not gomen funded so they have to rely on donations.

TS you can try to wash away the smell best you can and put the spikes

lol
cats not wild animals?
huge fearl cat problem in aus and nz killing native fauna in these place.

Dont just 'donate' the cat lah .... give some money or animal food. Is not like daily affair. I have caught not less than 10 since I bought tbe cage !
