For the past few nights I have woken up to hear meowing in the kitchen. Our cat is sleeping upstairs so I go down to investigate. I find a grey cat that has been hanging round our garden recently has come through the cat flap into our kitchen. So I scare it out. Happened for a few nights now.
Any suggestions?

You should make it some little hats to wear.

You have acquired a second cat/it has acquired a new servant. Prepare it some food and water in accordance with it's instructions, then a soft and warm bed for the night.....



Does it have a collar? Is your cat afraid of it? Is it male and yours a female?

Now, don't shoot me down as I am no cat expert. Is it that time of year when female cats come into season as the strange cat's meows remind me of when I had two female cats who were in season and called during the night.
The cat looks rather unkempt and we think it has a collar but we cannot get close to it to check as it always runs off before we can get close.
I don't really fany spending £70 for a cat flap that might be a different size than the one we already have.

I have had the same issue, cats coming into my house, and my cat is too much of a wimp to get rid.

One night I put the cat flap on one way and the bugger get the shock of his life when he couldn't get out of the house....quick cup of water and he has not been back since

I had this and the fking thing kept pissing all over the house.
So one day I waited until it was in and then locked the catflap and cornered it wiht the intention of scaring it stless so it didn't come back. So I rushed at it shouting and growling like and utter madman.
Well this thing went fking ballistic and flew at me hissing and spitting and scratching at a spped that completely overwhelmed me. Bleeding, beaten and ashamed I retreated after letting it out. Losing a fight to a 3 kilogramme 'child'.
SO the next day the smug bd was back with what appeared to be an exaggerated swagger as it strode into my house that it now believed it owned.
Imagine its suprise when confronted by the same idiot as the day before, but this time dressed in full motorcycle leathers with helmet and gloves.
Ha! I pinned it to the floor and shouted lots at it and laughed off its onslaught as it uselessly clawed my armour.
It never came back, although my wife was oddly unimpressed by my collosal victory. I was convinced she would be gushing, praising and calling me a hero with a lot of sucking-off but if anything she seemed to be slightly disappointed in me, the stupid cow.

Friend of mine once had a stray cat that came into his house (a CPL safe house) and peed.

He managed to attach a note to its collar saying 'If you don't get your cat speyed we will'. It never came back.

It is the season. But it could just be vocalising as it is in a strange place.

If it will let you catch it you could take it to a vets to see it it's chipped and give it a ck over. Alternatively just lock the cat flap for a few nights.

My parents had cat problems a lot of years ago. The answer, one tamed feral cat, absolutely massive,which dad made a cat house for outside. He "persuaded" the females not to visit, and terrorised the males ,to avoid him . Result, one cat free house and garden .

I've got the Super Soaker primed and the cat flap set so it can only open inwards. If it comes in it is going to be terrorised with water!
Mwahahah!

Why not just lock the cat flap for one night?

Because it is liable to come back the night after.
