    What to do with a pesky cat
    I live in a mobile home and there are several cats around.There is one in particular that has made a hole in the siding larger and goes under the trailer. My dogs go berserk,we have our back yard fenced in,our dogs do not run loose at all. We put a small board over the hole to keep her out,and she tries to move it. She is pregnant,the neighbor,whom we have seen feed the cat,it goes to them when they come home,has denied ownership of her. I called animal control last week to bring the cage to catch her,they never showed up. 2 nights ago,I came home and found 2 kittens under the house,they look just weaned. We were able to get them,but I do not want the other cat to have her babies under the house. Since no one claims her,and the animal control will not come get her,is there anything I can put down in the yard and around the fence to keep her away? I know soap will keep deer out of the garden,sulfa will keep snakes away,but what will work with cats? If she starts to bed under there she will pull out the insulation and it will small bad. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. I know she is fed ,but she runs loose and my dogs stay at the door or window barking at her.At night ,they keep watching the vents in the floor. Please help!

    I've found vinegar works when sprayed where animals aren't wanted. The aroma is speacially acrid to animals sense of smell... don't spray on the animals, only spray where you don't want them to go... good luck...

    I plant Marigolds around my garden. Cats never go into the garden area, they hate Marigolds. Cats avoid Geraniums, Petunias, and Fuchsias too.

    I suggest you go buy a live trap and catch her yourself... they aren't that expensive and you'll have it if you ever need it again.Then fix all your holes so that nothing else can go under there.I had that problem and that's what I did.
