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 !

We are now discussing about TS 'pet' and we dont find those in Aussie and nz here. Even if there is, owner will lock them up like a gold bar ...considered rare here and no problem for TS.

Remember someone kept a bear in an apartment ?

color print medium saiz harimau pic and stick at your compound area.
i saw last week car tered got mention it simply works

TS, maybe you can just accept it, and put car litter box with sand in it. So at least it will not be messy and not smelly.

I am against sending them to animal shelter. Because as someone mentioned above, shelters are overcrowded. These cats are put to sleep (euthanized) after a period of time. Very sad. Alternative is once you capture, you can post it in Cat Lovers Group in FB, and they will arrange adopters.

Such action will only invite more strays to come and eventually start breeding.

In our society, many people will object to many things but seldom lift their hand to help out.

Catch it, put some where else.
Or else, the other methods...

Ts talking about strays.

i also give up
the stray cat keep pooping at my garage on fake grass , DAILY.
but last 2,3 days, i spray my car wash soap to wash off the scent of the poop.
so far ok, so if happened again, just need wash off the scent, so that cat wont marking the scent again.

Not really, Cat litter boxes are very personal places to cats. So if you put the litter box, you should only have the 1 cat coming to your place.

Btw, breeding happens whether or not you put cat litter box. The best management is to spay the female. Trap - neuter- release.

Anyway, what i did to stop the shit and pee at my house is to feed the cats. I now have a cat that chills at my front yard, but will pee and poo elsewhere.

Domestic stray cats and not some jungle cats

If only ........ ts is willing to do what you said.

Oren kite love cats so much then why are their so many stray cats living on the streets? Then they rage when some people want to get rid of stray cats the way Town councils get rid of stray dogs.

Same difference because both are introduced by man.

I dont complaint about my community stray cats in the group chat nor report to the local authority. I do what is best to keep my place clean.

After every long holidays, there will always be new 'strays' in our garden.

I rest my case

You’re missing the point, ts wants to be rid of cats not have to feed them so they be a nuisance to others and breed even more.

Thanks for so many inputs, I appreciate how most of you steering away from my original topic on the suggestions for some cat repellent. Anyway, I will go for both items to see if it's really working, at least better than do nothing at all.

By any chance, I will update here if the two are working.

Again, my intention is to prevent this stray cat from keep coming to my house area to poop, I have no issue wherever this stray cat want to go or whatever it want do in my community as long as it doesn't mess up my living area, leaving poop behind, it's just very frustrating everytime come back so tired from work seeing some fresh poop leaving on your house area and you have to clean it up.
I don't know about others, but I do agree that feeding the stray isn't a good solution, you are inadvertently attracting more stray to enter your neighborhood, and I don't think the people staying in the community will like it also.

BTW, TNR (trap-neuter-release) is not mature enough in this country, do you know how much it costs just to neuter a female cat? I don't know you, but I'm just an ordinary person who is too incapable of performing such charity.

Actually no. Cats don't share litter box. It's like a territory for them.

RM130

It's a litter box, not food tray bro.

Your own solution for ts not having cats pee and poop at his place is to feed them so they go elsewhere to poop.
You fail comprehension of your own statement?
And why would anyone have to spend money on things that they ordinarily don’t have to take care of some stray cat or could be somebody’s cat?

bro, was there a misunderstanding? my statement was for TS to accept the fact that the cat will keep coming, so he can prepare a LITTER BOX so the cat can shit in the box, not on the floor.

I think the one suggesting to feed them is another person la

Apologies!
My bad!

Animal repellent mat is not going to work

actively spray them with water as deterrent

There isn't much of a way to totally get rid of cats coming to your house. Only thing is to manage it. There are about 7 free roam (owned and strays) cats in my taman (gated guarded), 2 of them are now eating at my house, they poop on the grass outside my house. According to my neighbour, the cats i'm feeding have been here since the dawn of time.

If its a small place that you want to discourage the cat from walking on, you could place aluminium foil on that area, they dislike walking on the foil. But if its a big area, not much can do. Unless you sit there and chase them away every time they come. which is close to impossible and a big waste of time
