Words cannot describe the burning hatred I have for cat piss.
Someone else’s tomcats’ piss, sprayed all over my front door near daily. Or them shitting in my garden (which seems to have stopped, cause the bastards can’t dig in my new rocks) going through my garbage bin and spreading it all over the driveway. Fighting, and screaming in our yard, in turn sending the dogs off.
People assume, your a bit of a crazy cat lady, you must love all cats. Not when they piss on my bloody front door I don’t! I have no love for these cats what so ever!
I have a very sensitive nose at the best of times, but I reckon I can smell this stuff from a kilometre away. Can’t have the door open, without washing it down with boiling water and disinfectant. Not to mention how unpleasant it must be for our cats. I don’t think the neighbours would be too pleased if I sent Hayden over to piss on their front door.
I think they come from next door, but they don’t appear to actually care for them. They just wander about doing as they please, having litter upon litter. I actually rang the RSPCA about a mother cat and her litter that had made themselves at home in our yard a few weeks before we moved in.
Sooo… who has something to get rid of these bloody cats? I am desperate! Don’t go there with the rat bait or aspirin.

Laundry washing powder with enzymes gets rid of the smell. Once they have peed they can smell their own smell so keep coming back to that spot. Try washing the door (or wherever) with the eznyme washing powder (Biozet) mixed in cold/lukewarm water and then washing it with the hot water. If the disinfectant has ammonia in it you will be attracting them back to that spot. Don’t use hot water with the laundry powder though cause it breaks down the enzymes.
If the washing powder doesn’t work there is stuff you can get from vets/pet stores that will get rid of the smell.
Hope this helps cause it would be disgusting.
Thanks Gemisht
I had tried the biozet, but I generally have been pouring it on and it left a bit of a mess when it dried. Cause it’s all in the mesh in the screen door and stuff…argh!
I had thought about some of that piss off stuff or what ever it is, but I’d need to spay it on the door and not sure how my lot would react to that.
Oh -I’m with. Love cats, hate the piss. We used to have other people’s cats coming into our yard and peeing in the kids’ sandpit. To the extent that we eventually had to cover it over. Even our dogs didn’t scare them away – our lovable labradors loved cats!

Leechbabe/Marita mentioned you were having this problem. The keep off http://www.multicrop.com.au/KeepOff.htm stuff does work if you follow the instructions, you can get a spray for dry areas or gel cubes for the garden. I buy it at Bunnings usually. When I remember to use it we have no problem with neighbourhood cats. Without it thay all come around to use my garden as a toilet and the tom cats like to spray the door to signal to my indoor cat that they own the ‘hood.
Thanks S
.. I have seen that at Bunnings but wasn’t sure if it was any good. I’ll have to grab some and give it a go
There’s a citronella based product that I use called Scram which works to some effect on our moggies to keep them away from furniture that we don’t want converted into cat scratchers. There’s also another product called Piss Off but I’ve never used it.
Another idea that someone suggested to me when we were having a similar problem was to use bin cleaner to line areas where the cats were being a problem outside. The only problem I found with this was that the bin cleaner was more noxious to the nose than the smell of cat piss.

I am so glad Leigh, I am not alone, I HATE it as well, just today I walked out my front door and all I can smell is CAT PISS, Now Shimmer does sleep out there but, ( to my knowledge) she does not piss there, and it is so grose. Last night we got rid of 4 feral cats, ( not really feral) they obviously live around here), but Shimmer never leaves her bed at night, so why do they bloody cats.
I am so glad I came across this page! I have the same offending problem. It is awful. We have 2 desexed female cats who live outside, and a little tom has just starting hanging around. I’m a cat lover at my wits end! I will be trying all suggestions thankyou
