Next door's cat being a dick
Discussion
I think I know the answer already but is there anything we can do to discourage next-door's cat from coming into our garden?
He doesn't just fight our cat but others too, and seems to believe our garden is his, therefore causing more tension.
As soon as we appear at the back door he's off so trying to chuck water over him is a non-starter.
We installed a couple of security lights as he scarpers as soon as the kitchen light was turned on but he's realised that they don't present any danger.

Is the neighbours cat intact? might be worth speaking to your neighbour to see if they would get him neutered.
If they are not the communicative and reasonable types and as long as he isn't a pedigree cat, catch him and take him to a local vet.
I had to do that for a cat that was kicking the crap out of my mothers cat, only cost £25.

I thought he was, absolutely adamant, but the neighbours say no, otherwise that would've been my plan. I still have my doubts as when I mentioned it she got very defensive and saying they weren't using him for breeding or anything. Eh? I only asked if he'd been done, I wasn't accusing you of being some despicable kitten-farmer or something.

I was just wondering if there were any options to keep a specific cat out of the garden short of installing a microchip catflap at the rear gate which is the main route in.

Train your cat to fight better. Maybe film the process and make a montage.

I need this cat, I'm pee'd off with all the other cats in the neighbourhood using our garden. We don't own one but the neighbours on all sides and beyond seem to have at least two each. Wondered if the best way might be to fight fire with fire and get the biggest, scariest, gnarliest cat I can find to intimidate all the other cats and go into their gardens to do big poos He doesn't just fight our cat but others too, and seems to believe our garden is his, therefore causing more tension.

this sort of thing will keep him out and yours in. It can be done in more ways than this. This solution works - believe me I KNOW
That is a hell of a set up but i have to ask why?(if you live in the middle of a roundabout or have a very timid or rare moggy then i would understand but otherwise still why?)
