How do I stop neighbours cats from coming into my house?

[Chris45]

Try planting some of this in strategic places, my daughter put some either side of our front door to stop the neighbours cat coming in, trouble is it worked a treat and our cat wouldn't go out past it, Silly It does take about 3 months to establish and start letting off the scent though.

I have a pretty powerful BB gun in my loft. It'll probably punction a cat.

or puncture even.

Do what they do in Asia and build some of these!

and add a flamethrower just for good measure

Someone asked this a couple of years back so I suggested what my brothers did to a neighbours cat which came in the house, sprayed the curtains and terrorised our cat. They managed to catch it, put it in a bath of cold water then put mustard on its arse...the cat never came in the house again and if it saw either of them in the garden or street pretty much shat itself. It is said that an elephant never forgets...cats certainly don't either!

Stand outside your front door with an axe and a hard on and shout. "Kindly keep your pussies to yourselves"

water pistol....Don't torture an animal ffs....

I would have a word with the owners. They may be locking the cats out of the house all day so kindly ask them to install a catflap so the cats come in and out of their house and not yours.

they don't like ammonium, so you could piss on your window sills and the ammonium will hang around?

one way that worked for my brother involved a can of spray and a lighter. It scared the cat away, but did burn it a bit and my brother still won't forgive himself 25 years later.

Thanks, although the only real suggestion from that I can try is a water pistol. I don't really want to spead paprika or lion shit over my carpets.

The cats are actually entering our house and hiding under the beds upstairs. They are welcome to use the garden as we have a communal garden.

Pepper on the door step, all cats, even your own if you have one, will stop at the door and sniff for territory marks. A cat gets a couple of sniffs and they soon get pissed off and don't come back. Worked for me anyway with next doors cat, mind you mine hardly comes back into the house via that door either anymore.

Catch the cats, put them in a sack then throw them in the river or off the end of the Pier.
Guaranteed that you will never see them again

My mother has tried coleus canina plants that worked in the garden but they gotin over a wall so she bought a cat deterent from Wilkinsons that operates on batteries about £20

Nothing will ever work. Electrify everything in the garden and listen for the sound of zzapping cats. Have a BBQ to dispose of the evidence (cats don't actually taste that bad). If you don't fancy that, grab the first one you get a chance to, take it to the back door and hurl the twatting thing over the nearest fence (main road on the other side is optional). We are always being told how clever the little shitting machines are, so it will land on its feet, think "f*** that" and never come back.

Catapult loaded with bluetack.

Catapult loaded with brick is far more "final".

Send the missus to an aromatherapy party or Boots,get some tea-tree oil and sprinkle a bit where you think they are getting in.Smells ok for humans,but the furry little farquars hate it,guaranteed.

catch it, keep it and wait for the poster to appear on the lamp posts stating "missing cat" then give it back and claim the reward. quids in.

alternatively, put up a poster like this (change it to "cat" though) :

I fitted a new cat flap for the woman over the road.( Ooh er misses.)
The magnet is so strong her cat can't get in the house.
