Try getting some and sprinkling it (liberally) around the area you want it to avoid. Most cats detest the smell of eucalyptus oil.

It's that time of year when cats are on the prowl for mating. And obviously, he's not neutered. If you've seen him and he is an obvious stray, it would be best if you could trap him and take him to a shelter. He will not live long in the wild. If he's somebody's lost kitty or one that is roaming free, he may have a chip implanted and an be re-united with his owner. If you know his owners, talk to them about getting him neutered or keeping him inside. Sadly, so many people think cats can fend for themselves and often move and leave them behind. So if you can make friends with him and get him to a shelter, it's probably the best solution. I've found that "antispray" tactics don't work - they just spray on top of it to mark their spot. You may have some success with the mothballs. If you have other cats in your house, it won’t be easy. It’s that time of year when cats are on the prowl for mating. And obviously, he’s not neutered.

Trap him and bring him into the shelter.

I say low powered because you don't want to wound it. you just want to stun it. Shoot it with a low powered air rifle or pistol.
