    It sounds obvious but have you thought about a dog?
    Next doors cat used to come in all the time & I didnt mind, but after looking after my mums dog for a few days it hasnt been in since.
    My views are irrelevant - censorship is alive & well!

    YOu have to consistently scare it off, by hissing etc as has been suggested, Also, stare at it and don;t blink, hold untikl the cat looks away to assert your self over it.

    I did this with next door's two because they scare my cat, and now they leg it from me as soon as i look out of the window!

    some cats aren't bothered .. we've got a dog but it does nothin to stop the cats winding him up. They sit on the windowsill and stare him out while he barks at them and goes crazy. they never move an inch and we still have to watch they don't sneak in through open doors and windows. They're hard little !!!!!!s the cats round here.
