What prevents cats from pooping on my roof?
Ryan asked:
My cats must love the material on my roof ’cause they can’t stop leaving their droppings scattered across it. What can I use to make them go back to the litter box? I’ve heard ammonia works but I don’t exactly know how to put in on the roof (spray, pour, etc.)
They get on my roof using the high wall between my backyard and my neighbors by the way.

Don’t use chemicals!!!! You’ll harm them!!!! And how’d they get on the roof?

find where they jump up to the roof and put something slippery there so they fall. If they fall one time they will never go back up.

Well, you know how people have those owls to keep birds away, well, you should get a dog one for your roof! Take away the way they are getting up, for example, a tree. Also, see if there is a smell that cats hate but doesn’t hurt them and put it on the roof. Plus try putting catnip in their litter boxes. They might like the smell.

Try a spray from the pet shop or citrus peel. Avoid ammonia.

Cats hate the smell of moth balls. When a stray cat used to spray on my front porch, and causing my indoor cat to pee in the front hallway, I bought small tin containers and filled them with mothballs and the stray cats stayed away from my porch.
You could try this with your roof but you might want to get heavier containers so they don’t blow off the roof. When the cat gets a whiff of the mothballs they won’t want to be on your roof.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
