Dear Neighborhood Cat, please stop spraying the sliding glass door to my office. Thanks, A.V.

In all fairness, I do have an (indoor) cat, so when the neighborhood cat that likes to whiz all over my office's sliding glass door overlooking the back yard shows up, that's what cats do.

I'm going to go to Petco and get one of those milk carton thingies with the cat repellant grains. They are harmless to cats but in my last home I had a neighborhood cat that liked to piss all over my front door. The grains worked.

1. We live in a split level, and my kitchen windows are at ground level.

There is a male cat (don't wanna mention any names, but Bünz, I've got your number buddy) who pees on my kitchen windows in the spring. Unfortunately, I can't do much about it because he's my mother-in-law's cat. I just spend a lot of time washing my kitchen windows in the spring and summer. :grr:

2. One cheaper thing to try is vinegar, they're marking turf

Doesn't matter to them that YOU are paying the house payment. Had some of the same problem with my front yard & house reeking and wow did it stink, whiffs coming in through the open windows upstairs. Pretty ripe in summer.

Fellow poster on another board said to get a bottle of vinegar (cheap by the gallon) and a spray bottle. Spray straight vinegar around the area of the house 2-3 times a week. Worked great.

3. I have plenty of vinegar because my town has hard water...

...so I'll try it. Thanks. I've actually been cleaning the door with straight vinegar but I'm sure that any lingering scent disappears quickly.
