Cat Repellant

I would first wash the stroller padding out with a mixture of vinegar and water. This will cut the urine smell so the cat isn't so attracted to pottying there in the first place.

I wouldn't use the mothballs - they are toxic to pets and kids. I assume that you have little ones since you have a stroller. My neighbor puts them outside his house to keep the cats away and 2 of my kids have found these "marbles" and brought them home - not safe.

I know that cats do not like the smell of citrus and some pet stores sell kitty keep away sprays. I am not sure how effective these are but you can give them a try. For a cheaper experiment, you could try squeezing a couple of lemons or some lemon juice in a water bottle and spray the rain cover to see if it works (although if it gets rained on . . . I supposed your juice would wash away :(

Honestly, I would be working on getting rid of the cat rather than trying to deter it. I would call the neighbors and tell them what is going on or animal control. Loose cats are dangerous and destructive.

If you really wanted to get creative (AND spend a little money), you could buy a motion detection sprinker and set it out at night (I assume this is when it is happening). These detect motion and start up sprinkling water for 15 sec (or whatever you set it for), which is going to make the cat run away.

Good luck!

Here are a couple of things you could try. Growing up my mom would use moth balls to keep cats out of her flower garden. I wouldn't put these in the stroller but you could try placing some around. Although it still might pass the smell along.

Recently someone told me that cats don't like vicks vapo rub so you could maybe try to coat a cloth or something with that and leave it in the stroller - once again may leave a smell, but its better than cat pee.

The tough thing with cats is that once they go someplace they tend to keep going there. Just washing it with regular soaps doesn't get the enzymes out of there. If you haven't already you could also try one of the special cleaners that they make to get pet stains out. I've heard Nature's Miracle is a good one.

Good luck!

You might try hanging stuff from the stroller that moves and makes noise--that might scare the cat away, you know like bells, a wind chime, etc. If you can catch the cat in the act, time to whip out the squirt gun or shake a soda can full of pennies. Yes, cats are creatures of habit, but they won't soon forget a squirt or a scare!

There is some spray that you can get at Mills Fleet Farm that will do the trick- It is a vegetable oli base that dogs & cats hate- I had the same problems with a stray cat the pooped behind my shrubbs next to my house(the cat used the dirt along side my basement wall as a liitter box- I had to dig through the dirt to clean it up because the smell was so foul coming out my front door every morning
