That's just cruel.

How does said young cat get into the garden? I'd assume the old boy isn't up to jumping fences any more so, if the young cat goes over your fence to get into your garden, simply put something on the top of the fence. A new coat of creosote might help for a few weeks. Either that or something slippery to make it a bloody nuisance getting into your garden. Cats are fairly lazy animals and a few difficult trips will change his mind.

I let my rose bushes grow up above fence level to deter my neighbour's cat, not seen him in ages after the last time he had a difficult job getting into my garden.

Make sure the dog you borrow isn't gonna go after your cat but i do like your dog idea to scare away your neighbors cat.

[Clippy]

That's just cool.

FTFY.

Whatever you choose to use don't get caught otherwise you will get animal rights protesters sending you hate mail and the RSPCA prosecuting you.

I am not keen on cats. I am not interested in maiming them - just scaring them away. What annoys me is they have free-rein to roam about all day or all night whilst their owners are at work, shi**ing in any garden but their own.

Over the last couple of years I've taken great delight in trying to increase the number and type of birds that use my garden to nest, eat or generally mooch about. Cats don't help.

Two serious suggestions:
* chase them in a comedy "I'll get you" style - you won't catch them, and they are fast learners.
* a catapult - buy some mint imperials as they dissolve in the rain etc. Again, you won't hit a cat (the slippery barstewards) but you will scare them enough to go elsewhere.

....works for me.

How about an Airzooka? They're great fun, harmless yet annoying to cats and have a range of 20 feet.

Wheelie bin?

If precision shooting isn't your thing, get one of these instead. Then you can chase the monster around the the neighbourhood until you get him.....

That looks like fun.
