Those generally work. I'd also talk to the neighbor. I know if one of my barn cats roams, I want to know about it, will thank you, come get him and do what it takes to keep him home.

If you have any roosters or broody hens, maybe consider free-ranging a bit. I have a scad of cats and none of them dare stalk a chicken - my roosters see to that! I used to have a great big strapping male cat, Karma, who in his youth (he already weighed 15 lbs and stood as tall as my knee though) thought he'd stalk a broody's chicks. The sight of him streaking across the yard with that hen riding him like a rodeo cowboy, both of them shrieking as loud as they could will be forever vivid in my mind!

Do you have a garden hose? If not, how bout a good long range squirt bottle or super soaker squirt gun?

I spray my neighbor’s cat with my hose whenever it lurks neat my perimeter fence. I will not tolerate her bothering my chickens.

Your too funny....

This cat also likes to poop exclusively in my front garden, so no breaks for her.

Poor kitty and your garden...

Cat poo in the garden isn't good. Another use for electric fencing? A motion sensor activated sprinkler?

Agreed. A stray or neighbor cat using my garden for a litter box would be removed one way or an other. I grow food for eating, and do not take kindly to it being contaminated.

You should see the mushrooms that pop up a week later They smell so bad and are so hard to get rid of. When ever I see her I spray her with the hose.

Talk to your neighbors about it. If it keeps causing problems after you talk to them then trap it and take it to a shelter. Or shoot it

I think you would find yourself in a bit of trouble if you shot it

We had someone's cat coming over at night, pooping. Didn't know who's cat so I got some fly tape & suspended it in my patio but making sure it will come loose when pulled. I then put a chicken bone attached to the loose end. Cat never came back & the fly tape was gone, ha ha.

Another time we set a home made cat trap for what I thought was a mongoose coming around. Caught someone's long haired cat, beautiful cat with the saddest eyes. So I released it but made sure I draped a fly tape on it's back as it ran.

Love that fly tape
