Tomcats

[Gill]

The Last Few Weeks Ginger has been Eating alot more than usual.

Normally 2 Foil Packs or 2 Tins of Gourmet Gold.

Lately 4 of Either a Day.
Last Night My Mum came back from grans and Found the Answer as to her Gluttony.

A New Tomcat - Big and Blue/Grey Color. Looks Like it Smells her food as soon as we open it and Sneaks into the Veranda and Scares her off and eats her food.

Mum has Moved her Food Bowl into the Kitchen.

This Morning after Mum Came Back from Making Gran Breakfast.

2 Tomcats were Sitiing Patiently infront of the Kitchen Door Waiting for Food.

Mum shooed them away - Ginger was on the Dresser Looking at them all puffed up.

They have also Sprayed the Veranda and It Stinks Really Bad.

What can we use to Neutralise the Smell. (the Veranda has Carpet Tiles - Should we wash these)

Thanks

they need to be washed with a strong detergent, something like Jeyes fluid (follow the instruction on dilution)
shooing the tomcats away is only a short term solution.
next time they appear spray them with water, either from a hose or chuck a bucket over them.
this will be harmless to them, but they will not like getting wet. If they come back do it again, they will soon learn that your house is associated with getting wet and will stay away.
