We have a male cat coming into our house (we have a small neutered
female
cat so she tries to ignore it but is not big enough to fight it) and
it is
****ing on everything. Last night it got a sofa. Does anyone know
how to
neutralise the stink? I know this is a gardening group but there are
a few
sane people here who know about cats. If anyone knows how I can
discourage
the cat that would also help but I fear there is not much that can be
done
apart from catching it. We already chased it with waterpistols etc.

to netutralise the smell wash the affected area in a solution of
biological washing powder to break down the enzymes. we had a cat who
wasn't well who proceeded to pee on the side of the sofa. apparently,
after washing it down with other products the smell remains and the cat
will keep going back to that area. I can't give advice on how to keep
it out, we have had a cat flap in place for 4 years and have never
encountered a stray cat in the house.

A quick alternative is something called 'simple solution' - applied
liberally, it converts the smell to one of marzipan which disappears
over a few hours, and doesn't leave a residue that atttracts the cat.

Is the intruder coming through doors and windows or through the cat
flap? - if the latter, then you could consider one of those which are
controlled by a little box on your cat's collar. Bit expensive if your
cat has a habit of shedding its collar regularly.

wow; ok I will try that.
It comes through cat flap as the main entrance and yes ours loses
collars regularly.
It is an emergency though; I will try both.
