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!

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.

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.
