    Are they your cats? Feral cats. Do you feed them? Maybe a spay neuter clinic. Cats are less likely to fight if 'fixed'. Nothing to fight for except food. Hope this helps.

    Go to your local home improvement center and get a cheap outside light with a motion sensor on it and a lawn sprinkling timing device that you attach to your outside faucet. You're ahead of me already aren't you?

    Temporarily mount this light fixture at the spot where the cat obtains access to the roof. Remove the light bulb and install a screw-in socket in it's place. Plug in the timer and set it for the shortest sprinkle cycle, attach the hose to a sprinkler on the roof and turn the water on at the faucet. Then when the cat jumps up on the roof, the motion sensor will turn the sprinkler on, the cat jumps off and, after a few of those treatments, you can relax. Cats are smart and will avoid getting a bath from then on. Hope this helps.

    Years ago we had five cats. They fought frequently. And yes, they were all fixed. We filled a spray bottle with water and after a few squirts they got the idea. Eventually all it took was to see me pick up the bottle and they would stop. No water needed. All the posters with the water idea are correct. Cats hate it. Good luck.
