I’m wondering if I should spray a stinky orange cleaner or repellent around outside to discourage the visiting cats. I like them but Melbcat gets really stressed out and being an indoor kitty could feel like she’s trapped with threats outside.

I just know orange oil and other essential oils/ strong scents are an asthma trigger and might waft back inside 🤔

I orange oil my wooden floors and neither my asthma nor the cats are bothered by it. Everyone is different…

Nah, you’ll feel like shit if it affects your cat.

Chilli powder can work.

    They don’t tend to go near it at all. I’ve used it on a fence as a paste to keep a neighbourhood cat our of my yard, and to keep my own contained before I built their cat run.

    How it it as a sprinkle on the ground/doorstep? And if I can’t find a small thing of chili powder could I use one of those Hoyt’s sachets of cayenne pepper?
    
    I’m a bit worried about tracking it inside for Melbcat to walk on and lick from her feet.
