    We had a similar problem several years ago. We set the flap to entry only. Caught the intruder. Had a downstairs loo by the back door.
    carefully position the cat in the pan and hold whilst flushing. Release cat to outside world. Cat never returned problem solved!

    Last night we went in there and found BOTH of our cats inside :-(
    You woke up that thread after a year - and now the old mog is no more. :cry: No bricks involved, I assure you.
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.

    Hope this helps

    If your cat has urinated on your carpet, use bottled club soda. Remove the cap, stick your finger inside to block the top, shake hard to fizz and with your finger still inside the opening spray the club soda on the carpet until lightly wet. Don't soak the carpet but apply thoroughly. The carpet might smell worse at first, but when it dries will totally neutralize the odor & smell. This is not an odor cover up, it neutralizes the odor permanently and doesn't just cover one smell with another.

    Is club soda just carbonated water?
  • My suggestions:

    Water pistol.

    Differing wee near cat flap to make it clear the house is "occupied".

    Double whammy, wee in the water pistol.

    Not nice I know but you need to "mark your territory"... ;)
