I have woken up this morning to a horrible stink that was created by the bastard Tom cat from down the road that has come in through an open window and sprayed everywhere. It stinks!
I've tried everything with this cat. I've sprayed water, done the wall of fear, put a paper collar on him telling the owners what he was doing (which would be stopped by a simple ball removal) but still months later the same thing is happening.
Ragdoll has been injured by him a good few times requiring vet treatment, I understand cats fight and the levers aren't responsible for this but he would be less aggressive if his balls were removed.
I have 4 neutered cats. But this one is clearly locked out at night and finds his way in for a feed and a warm. I had to open said window as DS who is disabled with health problems, was fitting and needed cooling down. We fell asleep and were woken up to bastard Tom howling at ragdoll and then the smell hit.
I'm at the end of my tether with him (or more accurately his owners, although I don't know who they are)
If you own a black and white Tom cat with a white tip at the end of his tail, just neuter him and let him in at night PLEASE!
If anyone has any ideas on how to deter this cat I would be very grateful. He is actually a very lovely little soul, although stinky and full of fleas (clearly flea collars aren't very effective as he has a new one on every week)

An unneutered tom cat wondered into my house to eat my cat's food. I took him to the vet thinking he was lost. They found a microchip but couldn't get through to the owner on the phone so asked if I could look after him for a couple of days. I did think it was very odd they'd bothered to chip him but not neuter him. I took him home and couple of days later got a phone call to say they'd traced the registered address and been told registered owner had moved out 4 months previously with no forwarding details. This was 8 years ago. Cat is currently curled up in his favorite chair and I somehow doubt the owners are going to come forward now! The balls are long gone however 
Seeing as he sprayed in my house that means he thinks it's his doesn't he? And if he thinks he lives here then he's my responsibility really 
Good luck!
We've just had our 15th stray decide to move himself in 
Hate to say it but neutering isn't going to solve the spraying problem, although it might make him less inclined to wander.
My old cat was a rescue and was neutered late. He still sprayed till the day he died, 10 years later and aged around 17.
We should have had an inkling of this when the rescue told us they'd called him Squirt but we stupidly thought it was an ironic joke on account of his enormous size. Eventually he stopped spraying in our house but he did once do it in a neighbour's living room, and my dcs still fondly recall the time they witnessed him pin down an intruding cat and spray on him .
Sigh, I still miss the stinky, awkward old bugger.
