As others have said: rent a cat-trap from the SPCA. Bait it with tuna or mackerel in a old stocking and you should trap it within 48-hours (you might trap other cats too, especially if you use mackerel). From there you have 2 options when you trap it:
1. Take it to a vet and have it neutered.
2. Take it to the SPCA and have it euthanized as a stray.

If it pissed in my house I would take option 2.

This, but before you do either option 1 or 2, give it a loving bath with a cold water hose while in the cat-trap, remember, they have thick fur and needs a good watering to get rid of all the unwanted dirt, 5 to 10 mins should do the trick. :p

You need help. As do many of the people in this thread. You and raptor should meet up and I don't know go and beat some animals.

Personally dislike free roaming cats and believe there should be a law about this but anyway.

Didn't mean drown it, just make it very wet, by hosing it, on flat ground where the water can run off.

Why do I have this sense of Déjà vu, Im sure someone last year said the same thing.

Grab the cat by the tail and spray some paraffin on it's arse
when it stops running two days later it will be a long way from home.

No words. Except these two, but other than that, none.

Just woke up to the little bastard coming into the house. Gave it a very pants ****ting experience without causing it any physical harm.

If it still comes back, then its full on shower time.

Catch it and clean it, one really good long wash ought to do it, note the face needs more washing than the tail.

I have the same issues, but not all the time... we got water guns at home, and its fully loaded by the bathroom window.... soon as I hear another cat is in the yard, out comes the water gun and I go all Rambo on them :D.. it actually does stop them from coming back, but since I live in a complex, new people are in and out and so are their feline friends...

I really wouldn't suggest harming the little feline in any way... just some shots of water a few times and he'll stay away... also try training your kitty to fight back... I did that with ours, play rough with her to make her reflexes faster and aggressive only if she feels threatened, you'll laugh when you see how the males kick it when the female fights back...

Too bad you're not in Cape Town - I'd let my 2 Jack Russells stay over a night at your place - cat problem all gone.....forever. They're good with bird problems and rodent problems too. Little buggers kill anything that moves.

My neighbours cat keeps coming into my house through windows that i left open due to the heat some nights.I have 2 dogs outside so this cat is quite clever choosing its entrances.Normally ends up with me chasing it with my slop in hand.

My mom threw one of the neighbour's cats in our pool once. It got out so fast it looked like it was running on water. Never bothered us again.
