How to get rid of a cat in the garden
Discussion
We currently have a cat that keeps coming into our garden and winding our own cats up. He'll sit outside the back door and just meow constantly. One of our cats is very nervous and just about copes with the others in the house, she hates this one.
The little sod has started rubbing his face up against the cat flap, from what I understand this is to get their sent across?
Does anyone have any advice on how to get rid of this cat? Without upsetting ours.

Having a dog seems effective
Some good ideas, keep em coming.......OP, I trust the cat has not been fed? Our visiting bully found its way in the cat flap and got quite confrontational in the house hence the drastic bit with the bucket, missed the blighter as he tried to come in but it was near enough he got a soaking and did the scalded cat bit heading for the horizon (it was summer). That was when we fitted a chip reading flap.
There's a big ginger cat that chases my cat up to the cat flap and then headbutts it recently. I've taken to using the plant water spray bottle thing whenever I see it. I do like the super-soaker idea/excuse though!
As the tinker/massive tinker still seems to be visiting maybe I should watch this thread for more ideas :/.

Add bitter apple flavour juice to the water in your supersoaker, they hate the taste (doesn't harm them) and when they have to lick it off it reinforces the "bad st happens there" message. As the tinker/massive tinker still seems to be visiting maybe I should watch this thread for more ideas :/.
Note, don't use citrus fruit, it is poisonous to cats

Nope not feeding it. OP, I trust the cat has not been fed?

He was out side squaring up to our eldest, looked a bit like 'come on then' type thing you expect chavs to do in Wetherspoons at 10am. Moved my cat out the way and chucked some water near it. He came back again a minute later so another cup over it. Not seen him since!
Heard him Sunday night a few doors down making this annoying noise!
I use one of these. Have many funny videos of cats dancing. Doesn't hurt them. http://www.aqua-pond24.de/nach-hersteller/superfis...
