A quick zap of the pest owner helps them bond with their pet as they do the highland fling and a bit of break dancing together. That is the funniest thing I have read all week. Good effort R2x1.	tut (12033)

I was looking at one at one stage but around $100 is rather a lot to discourage a cat. Many years ago, we had the spraying problem from a neighbour's cat around the back porch. One day, I disturbed it from outside the house and it 'escaped' into the house. I gently herded it into the bathroom/laundry area and shut it in. I put on my motorcycle jacket, gloves and helmet and took to the cat with a broom, chasing it around the room. It literally tried to climb the walls. After a while, I let it go. Never had the problem again. You have to really imprint them with a bad association before they will stop coming around again. Simply hosing them with water makes them more wary but does not stop them returning. Disclaimer: no cats were physically harmed in this incident (mental damage only).	user (1404)

Our cat won't go near now, spoilt her fun You have to repeat the spray every day for 5-7 days to break the cat's association with that location (or use the spray to create a barrier to access) , then you can cease spraying because the cat will have given up already. It stopped a neighbour's cat from peeing on our front doorstep, and a week of sprays moved it away from our garden as well. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
