How do I keep stray cats in our neighborhood from urinating on my motorcycle and the motorcycle cover?

There are stray cats in the neighborhood and they keep urinating on my bike cover. I took it off and washed it but then they urinated on my bike engine! How do I make them stop?

Cats dont like citrus smells...you can buy a citrus spray from the pet store that you can spray on anything that you dont want the cats around, its safe for plants too.

Cats don't like anything citrus smelling. Change your cleaner to a lemon smelling one, perhaps, or leave a cut lemon nearby.

Accidentally spill some anti-freeze the next time your working on your bike.

that, or a bbgun or air dart gun...had to use them myself

You can call animal control to round up the strays, too. That should help. You can also try a scat mat, which doesn't hurt the cats but is a strong discourager.

put mousetraps around your bike, a few cats step on them and they will not come to this area again.

Get a trap from your local humane society and trap them. They will usually pick them up and you will be rid of your cat problem. Cats, same as dogs, are not allowed to run wild. You will be saving unwanted kittens lives!

get a dog. There is a product on the market I think you can get it at Pets-Mart, I cant remember the name I am sure you could ask a clerk at the store.

set up a sprinkler to spray your covered motercycle maybe they will get the hint after a couple of weeks

I agree with jennycoyjen and you can buy this spray to eliminate the oder to.

It means they like you because they are marking your area as theirs too! Unfortunately if they are strays they are not fixed and their instinct is to mark territories. If they are peoples pets, if they care about them they should get them spayed & keep them safely indoors.

Start leaving dishes of milk mixed with antifreeze out. Dont do this if you or your neighbors have outside cats though. But you also must realize if you kill all the cats off you could get a mouse problem.

find a snake skin and hang it in the spokes of the wheel at night you wont see a cat for 5 miles or just shoot them

There is a really good product called Boundry. You sprinkle it around your lawn, and it will keep the cats away... WITHOUT KILLING THEM!!! Most animal controls will not pick up ferral cats, you can try calling, but most likely will not. Boundry is your best and also humane choice. http://www.petsmart.com/global/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441780739&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302033167&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=2534374302023689&bmUID=1144793702793&itemNo=3&Ntt=Boundry&In=All&previousText=Boundry&N=2

Well PLEASE don't hurt the stray cats. They don't want to be out there anymore then you want them out there. But if you want them to stay away for your motorcycle and the cover try and put some moth balls around where you park your bike. They don't like the smell they will not go by it anymore. I hope this helps you. Trust me it is not the cats fault it is the stupid people who let there cats out.

Go to the pet store and buy a cat away spray, i used it with my cats and it really works! Goodluck!!!

LOL.......Now thats funny ! I can just see the sticker in the back window of a truck the cat peeing on a harley. But seriously move to another area that doesn't allow stray cats to just wander wherever.talk to the owners if you know who they are. call animal control to pick them up.there are also products like skat to keep them from urinating where you don't want them to.
