At night my neighbour’s cats fight in our back garden. I think they class it as 'neutral' territory and fight as per nature. The noise they make has woken me up several times now and it's getting to be a bit of a pain in the neck.
Anyone have any 'humane' suggestions as to how to get them to stop please?

Spray the garden with a tea made of garlic and Cayenne pepper... not only will it cure many bug problems, but the cats won't like it and will likely find some other place to hang out.
You will have to respray every few days, depending on rain... every evening if it is rainy, but it will change their habits if you keep it up for a week or so. This worked to keep my cats out of the garden, along with most bugs, rabbits and rodents feeding on the veggies!

If I was you get a water hose put a garden sprinkler on it,water you back yard before you go to bed cats don't like water or if you can ease out and turn it on while they fight that's even better,now I use red peper to keep them out of my trash and it works don't hurt them in any way now if you do that remember to redo it after it rains try it works....Pearl g

We had the same issue when we moved from a house 3 down from where we used to live. We had a street cat bully who ran our male cats back to our old home, now 1 of them refuses to come back he stays at my moms next door. The mean tomcat suddenly went away, don't know really what happened
Good luck

I bet they aren't neutered. Ask your neighbours to have them neutered or keep them indoors at night. Cats should be kept in at night in any case as it is too dangerous for them to be out. YToo many low intelligence morons want to hurt them, people in cars will aim for them etc.
Alternatively, invest in some earplugs.

You might try spreading moth balls in the area where they are fighting. Cats don't like moth balls and this would stop them from coming in this area and would also let you continue to sleep.

well . . . i think i have a suggestion that just might work young man . . . throw water over them! cats hate being wet and the more you manage to hit them the more they will associate your garden with being wet and miserable! hey presto problem solved!

pop bottles filled with water at the end of your garden will stop cats from coming in your garden.
