In mating season, how do I prevent the pet cat from escaping from the house?
The best recommendation in this matter is that both males and females are chastened.

Why do many neighboring cats relieve themselves in a house that is not theirs?
This responds to territorial marking: for that cat, the other house is part of its territory. If it were neutered, it would do so to a lesser extent and with less odor.
Cats already come with the behavioral scheme of relieving themselves in a certain place with earth, sand, or pebbles, so you only have to supply that place and the animal will use it directly. It is necessary to prevent him from relieving himself in the garden. Or in other places where the fecal matter cannot be cleaned. Because this habit can be a source of contamination for people and for the feline itself.
