I stepped out to the attached garage this morning to feed the "ferals". When I opened the door, there was a skunk looking at me. I quickly backed up and closed the door. Luckily he did not spray. There would have been some food still in the dishes from overnight which is what must have attracted the skunk. My kitties are used to having food out there at night and I just really feel bad if I have to remove the dishes at 8 p.m. If I leave the light on in the garage all night, will this deter the skunk from coming in? He's using the pet door that the kitties use.
