Atreano smells bad

16 years ago

Near the end of last season, a cat sprayed the plastic pot my Atreano was in. I had to repot it and it dropped all its breba. The smell never completely went away and I think it may have been sprayed again (although I've kept moth balls around it, periodically sprayed Critter Ridder and now citrus peels surround it). My concern is that the main crop figs will absorb the smell. Last week, I trimmed two suckers and placed them in a vase in the dining room. The next morning, the entire room smelled like cat urine! I tossed them out. So I've been sniffing the pot (a fabric Smart Pot) and it doesn't smell. Individual leafs do - some old and some new. This tree is about 5 feet across and loaded with figs. If I can't eat them, I'll cry! I'm tempted to cut an immature fruit and smell it. Do any of you have advice to prevent neighborhood cats from spaying?

Thanks,

Jennifer
