Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! From your description, I would recommend establishing a method of training Sassy not to bark. I would recommend using a spray bottle filled with water and lightly spritz Sassy in the face when she begins barking at BoBo while at the same time saying "no bark!" and see if this helps. You can also use an empty can filled with coins and throw it in Sassy's direction while saying the same thing in hopes that this will stop the behavior. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I suggest you use a motion activated sprinkler. It will go off when the cats trip the sensor. Once they get wet, I assume they won't want to come back. Tends to work really well.

Best wishes.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Barney! I would try to talk to the owners of the cats first. If that doesn't work, contact Animal control and find out how you can legally (if owned) prevent them from entering your yard or have them come and capture the cats (strays or ferals). You can also purchase noise deterrents that are turned on my motion. Maybe over time the cats will avoid your yard if they find it "scary." I wish you and barney the best!

You can use this on your animals: https://www.amazon.in/Vets-Best-Mosquito-Repellent-8oz/dp/B01987CT1I/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=vets+best+mosquito&qid=1584481682&sr=8-1 You can use any human ones on yourselves but just be sure to apply/spray them outdoors as to not irritate the cat's nose.

You could cover the counters with textures that cats don't like. For example, aluminum foil, placemats or cardboard covered with double-faced sticky tape. Many cats don’t like those surfaces, so the hope is for the cat to jump down once he/she touches the surface. Leave the mats on the counter at all times when not in use and, hopefully, she will stay off. After a few weeks without signs of her on the counters, remove a small section at a time and see if she will stay off.
