Cats hate water and water is harmless. I used to keep a supersoaker at a house I used to rent which could hit a cat at thirty feet. It also used to shut up the dog next door when it would bark incessantly if left out alone, one quick blast was usually enough.I thought about getting one of those Wrist Rocket sling shots & even a BB gun for the offending felines but I reside in the city so, I don't want to get on the bad side of the law.
I figure I would just buy a trap, trap them thar vermin, and transport them down to the Mighty Mississippi so, they can become breakfast for bears.
I think our cats are distantly related, like waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. I'm in Oregon,USA. They have the
I lived in a 1st floor condo when I lived in Dallas years ago; one of the neighbors' cats would poop just outside my door, in the dirt, where there was bare soil & plants.
I currently live in a house & my neighbors' cats poop in different locations on my property.
Randomly launched river rocks seem to be doing the part for now in training the felines to stay off my property but that only works when I can see the kritters. I can't patrol my property 24/7/365.
I see a cat trap in my future.
If I go that route the cats that I catch will be carted off at least ten miles, and let loose at the Mississippi River. I bet they won't be finding my property to poop on after that.
You clearly don’t understand cats and will cause only worry and heartache to their owners. There are non-cruel reliable ways of deterring cats.

That was a heart-warming story. We had a bully bull mastiff in our neighborhood for a time. Luckily, the husband got custody of the hound in the divorce and moved away. I love it when a bully gets his comeuppance.I had a female cat, Squeeks,,, had the finest black coat I'd seen on a cat with red through it that would throw up some unreal shades in the sun... like grandmas fine furniture..
narrow at the shoulders and yellow eyes like those sleek porcelain figurines... bit of Siamese in it, I think...
dogs didn't stand a chance against it.... I watched it shred lots of dogs with ease.... pig dogs, mastiffs...serious dogs...
one day I hear a noise at the back stairs.. walked past the sleeping cat on the kitchen floor to look... it was the big ugly bull mastiff from the house up the back sniffing around.... I yelled at it to get the hell out of here and it looked back at me and growled low at me.... I was always wary of this one...
meanwhile I felt the cat brush past my leg and go out the cat flap... she launched herself from the top level onto the dogs head at the base of the stairs and started shredding.... the dog saw it coming and turned to run but was too slow.... it ran up the garden stairs heading home with the cat on it's head/face... each time he managed to flick it off the cat just jumped back on and kept going tooth and claw...this went on for 50 yds as the dog yelped and screamed like a baby the whole way....
the cat just trotted back down the hill past me still inside the door and curled back up where it was and went back to sleep.... my heart was still pounding at the scene I saw......
the people moved away soon after when they bought their own land to build on.. I saw his brother in town a year later and asked how the new place was and if they still had the dog....he started telling me how the dog came home one day completely messed up in what he thought was a fight with a big kangaroo or a wild dog.... it took 400 bucks worth of stitches to patch it up he said...
I grinned and told him I'd seen the whole thing... my demure little cat did that.... he couldn't believe it when I told him how it happened...
I saw it fight off 2 dogs at once, bull terriers again.... they had teamed up to get the cat.... the cat handled both of them with ease and they never came back in the yard again.... he took the young one out first, it bailed out.. and then started on the bigger one..... incredible.....
yet, it never scratched me ever,, even in serious play,, had the softest paws with people, very friendly.... hated dogs with a passion... long gone now, I miss her....
