Any suggestion as to what might discourage cats fro congregating under
the house? Cayenne pepper or Fido Shock electric fence for instance?

Moth Balls worked for me.

Congregating is not defecating.

Do YOU shit where YOU sleep?

Put up a regular non-electric fence to keep them out.

Putting a wire mesh over the openings to the underside of your house should
do the trick.

How many moths do you need to get enough to do the job.

Chicken wire, side cutters, gloves and a staple gun. You can also
place the chicken wire over flower beds--the cats will often avoid
places they can't dig a potty.

How about putting hardware cloth over the vents and under the
porches?

Well it would WORK however the attendant negatives, arrest, court,
trial lawyer fees, jail time, etc. make it a wee bit less than ideal
as a solution.

In the big city, or a state that doesn't have Class III...
You're right, I'd toe the line there.

The right state, a two hundred dollar tax stamp and a place in the country
might
prove less costly.

Being potentially the same situation I make sure the crawl space under
the house and the vent screens are maintained and closed up. All
kinds of critters love dark hiding places. Best to avoid
attracting them. Like lawyers.

Other than just not liking cats roaming around under the house, can the cats do any real
damage to the house while they are there?

In a word, Yes! We have a bedroom in our house that always smelled of Cat
Doo, and if a cat ever managed to get in, he/she would try to do their
business there. Not a good idea, let me tell you! We finally figured out
the problem when we asked the cable guy to add a new line to that same room.
Cable Guy scooted in, then came right back out! Seems he found himself in a
sandy area that was being heavily used as a year-round litter box, and his
job description did not include crawling through feces, so he left the cable
under the house, and my husband had to finish the job. I tell you, by the
time he was finished, I had to hide the guns, because the cats were
definately on hubby's s--- list!
