To wish the cat from over the road would just get lost!

He chases our cats outside. Fights them in the garden in the middle of the night & we are the ones that get up to break it up as not wanting the wake the whole street!

He comes in through the cat flap & chases them in the house. ( just changed the cat flap to those tag recognition ones).

I have just had to close the back doors for the 3rd night in a row on a hot summers evening because he comes in & eats their food & try's a fight with them.

His owners feel there is nothing they can do but have also admitted they lock the cat out because they don't want him nr their toddler as he can scratch him. They have also admitted they won't put him up for adoption ( cat not the toddler!) because they don't think he would be able to be rehome!

So how come their cat is now my problem? It's really starting to P me off now. I am also due to drop in the next few months & don't want their cat in my house!! Aargh!!!
I have tried water pistols, throwing small objects- nothing works. Help!

try a hose pipe! Or get a dawg!

We are having a similar problem - half the neighbourhood's males hang around our house. I have just chased one out of the garden after both my females came running in with big tails.

I have also just won a staring contest with one who was sitting in the front garden, yowling.

I don't know what the answer is, so will be lurking on your thread to see if anyone else can offer a solution!

Our neighbours' cats insist on having territory battles over my driveway in the middle of the night. It drives the dogs demented and they then wake the whole house up.

Sukysue tried the hosepipe, have been tempted to borrow a dog of a mate but I think our cats would be more traumatised tbh!!

Call the cat protection league and pretend that he is a stray, they will collect him and get him neutered then return him.that's what he needs.

Cats Protection won't return him! They'll neuter him and find a new home for him.
Unless he's microchipped, in which case the "stray" will be "happily reunited" with his owner with some helpful advice about neutering, but still all in one piece.

He is neutered already.

Only thing I can think of is to get some kind of mesh screen/door thing so you can have your door open without him coming in.
Or get a big dog.Wink

Have you tried citrus? I was sceptical, but it really worked when we put it along our fence to stop next door's cats coming into our garden. Squeeze lemon juice around your door and the smell should deter it.
