• Tip #2 - Deter stray cats from visiting the yard by removing bird feeders and installing automatic motion sensors which make noise or squirt water when outside animals approach


• Tip #3 For cats showing spraying or marking behaviors outside of the litter box, the areas being marked should be made as unattractive as possible

• Tip #4 - Aluminum foil, carpet runners placed upside down or double sided tape can be placed on the areas to discourage the cat
