My freedive mentor / boat captain / auto mechanic scatters dog hair from grooming parlors under his house to discourage pests. Only partially effective. |

And one night I saw a mouse eat my cat's catfood. |

tom cats smell awfuk but a nice cuddly female furry pussycat aroma would be good. +1 |

funnily enough but gardeners often use lions' droppings to keep cats away. |

Well, it seems to matter for cat pee.
Only asking - suit yourself. |
|
| |
How is a domestic cat going to know what
a lion is? And indeed what a lion's poop
smells like? |
|
| |
I imagine that if ever a domestic cat did encounter a lion, the lion would soon learn what domestic cat poo smells like. |

It's only partially an idea. Is it a cheese scent to spray on pet cats? That might be a way to startle mice.
Or is it a scent you spray on the mouse? Is it the comfort pheromone? Or the smell of dead cats? |

It's tough to deter pests with such passive devices. That's part of what makes them pests. |
|
| |
Using cat urine might actually work. But then you gotta bake something to get rid of the smell of cat piss. |

Believe me, there's nothing you can put in the oven to get rid of that odor! Febreeze doesn't even work on it. |
|
| |
Fabreeze doesn't work but there are purpose made products that work. Sadly I have recent experience with "Natures Miracle" and it works well. First take the majority of the evil out with water and a wet/dry vac then do a second pass with the "Natures Miracle". |

Insert standard anti-cat rant here. |

Oh, but I love cats. it's the smell, and the allergies they cause that bother me... and I assure you there is not a product on the market that sufficiently removes the odor to satisfy the needs of allergic individuals. |

Dog smells are more effective than cat smells for deterring rodents. |
