[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 73278"] The smell of spray from a Tom is [i]really[/i] hard to get rid of. If it's in the wood, I would saturate it with vinegar...maybe put some in a spray bottle and just coat the entire area. You should be able to see it if he's marked; there will be streaks. If you have a welcome mat in front of your door and he's marked it, you'll probably have to get rid of it. It's impossible to get it out of rubber or rubber backing. Females can spray, by the way. It's uncommon, but I had one do it (she was spayed, too) because there were too many cats. If she's upset by the Tom on the porch it's possible she's spraying. It's not as hard to get rid of, though. The best method I've found is to buy carpet shampoo for pet odors and apply it using a garden sprayer so you can really saturate the carpet down to the padding. Use a steam vac to pull the water out. You'll have to find the area of the carpet that she's been getting, though, if that's the case. And, yes, we do look funny crawling around sniffing the carpet. [img]:rofl:[/img] [/QUOTE]
