Get a dog and let the dog put his/her scent all over the place.  The cats will soon want to avoid the area.

@hckynutjohn   People in my area who let their cats out at night, are providing the local coyotes with a yummy midnight snack.  What a horrible death for A beloved pet or any small animal.  Then the owner will bemoan the loss of the cat the family loved so much.  If you love them, keep them inside!

Do you  have coyotes in your area, John?

@FancyPhillyshopper   I can guarantee that doesn't work.

     I am trying to use a larger font per suggestions 2 months ago, if that is okay with you? 

   We, in our community village app do not have feral cats.

BUT! In August someone place a mama cat with 5 baby kittens on our deck. I, with my sweetheart husband are keeping each one and they are tame, now. That took just about 4 months in trying, but each have a safe home with us. 

 I had heard that male feral cats spray, even though it-they do not live here....something about sniffing out other cats on one's premises?   I would never let a feral go hungry, but we do have  a great TNR program that HELPS significantly with over population of unwanted kitties to cats/ meaning kittens. 

  Keeping one's pets inside, being with them outside occasionally ( in need of relief) would be my best answer, but there is a NON chemical reaction to deter when a colony begats 20+.

  I appreciate your your input, @ Kachina624, along with safe measures.  I love all pets and try my very best to benefit these facilities for their help, successfully. Yes, it works!. 

We have our 5 and love them; no caged pets was our decision!

@NAES1  It's considerate for you to try (I usually forget), but your font isn't very large. And when you add the bold feature and italics to your font style, IMO everything looks sort of mushed together.

I had this problem a number of years ago, but it was in the garden, not at the front door.  I found a product at PetSmart that deterred dogs and cats.  It was a powder and came in a carton, like a 1/2 gallon milk carton.  You sprinkled it in the areas that the animals were drawn to.

Definitely try the excellent home remedies that others suggested first.  I didn't know about them at the time.

Thank you @JeanLouiseFinch , is this better? 

 I'll always remember you loving serums we spoke about 5 years ago. Still with the same opinion?

perfect!

Yes, I still like my serums, but have made some adjustments to my routine  😊

@Kachina624 

Have not heard of any coyotes in our area, hopefully that stays the same. 

I know I have posted this several times, but I think it is worth repeating.

Cats Life Expectancy:

Outdoor--3 years

Indoor----13 years.

Hi@little missy 

I'm sad to hear of this problem you have.

This might sound crazy, but is there a "Catnip bush" or "Catnip plant" nearby where the cats are voiding?   My cats have all exhibited very different behaviors from one another,  when treated to "catnip."  Is funny to watch, (but not if it entails voiding where you dont want!)

Good luck @little missy     The "Cat Adopted Momma's" house!
