How do I keep neighbor cat out of my yard late at night?

Question

A neighbors cat poops in my yard or garden(where I grow food to eat) daily in random spots. I have done everything short of shooting or poisioning the cat thus far. I am sick of cleaning up after it. I have tried all kinds of deterents and it still comes back. I have used pepper in the soil, chased it away, left cut up oranges all over, left filled water bottles around the yard, sprayed it with water, ext. It still comes around when I am sleeping and causes the neighbors dog to bark and wake me up in the middle of the night and poops where it likes. I have been picking up its poop for at least 5 months... How can I keep this evil cat away for good? I need a good cheap perminent solution. I cant afford a dog or one of those motion sensor water sprayer things. As Popeye would say "I can't stands no more". I am open to any suggestions legal or not.

Answer 1

There is a couple of things, you can buy those "mouse traps" ( they are not real mouse traps they just look like them) and set the around the area you want the cat to stay away from. When they get triggered they make a loud noise that scares the cat away from the area.
Does the cat have a collar if not call animal control.
The other thing is cats hate water, a super soaker might do the trick.
Or maybe just talk to your neighbor.
Hope any of these helped

Answer 2

Trap it or kill it. Just don't let anyone see you in action.
