Are there any grasses or pollens around that could be causing the sneezing? Are you using different cleaning products in the house that he could be allergic to? If the answer to all the above is no, check with your local vet. Kathy Is your cat going outdoors a lot? Are there any grasses or pollens around that could be causing the sneezing?

One method is to place things that cats don't like smelling in the garden such as mothballs, lavender or citrus. Use a spray or crushed up lavender leaves and flowers or orange/lemon/lime peel in the garden. They will help mask the smell as well. You could also try turning the hose on the cats as they come into the garden. They will get the message fairly quickly. Has she tried talking to her neighbors? Another tip could be to place something sticky in the garden such as sticky paper (sticky side up) as cats hate walking on it. I feel for your mother.

I'll write an article on that this week. In the meantime, most cats don't like strong smells or citrus smells so you can spray some perfume, a lemon or orange scent or even leave some orange peel around the area. If you have stock in the barn, leaving some of their droppings around might help. If it's a machinery barn, try some axle grease or oil. I'd be interested to see if either of those work. If you are working in the barn and notice them eliminating, pick them up immediately, take them outside and stay with them till they've finished. Praise them when they do as you want. Patience is the key here. And repetition. When we were farming we weren't concerned too much about the condition of the floor so some oil on it didn't worry us. If you prefer to keep your barn floor clean, put the oil/grease in a small open container wherever they have been eliminating. Kathy Hi Terry,

Their mother vanished and we bottle fed them until they were big enough for cat food. They seem to love being inside the barn and don't often come outside. That's not a huge problem, but they also like to go to the bathroom inside, too. The barn is fairly nice...with a concrete floor, but it is getting to smell awful. Is there any way that we can train them to start going outside? thanks, Terry Hi Kathy,
