I need a cat repellent for outside! A stray, or neighbor's cat is making our lives miserable.?

We've got a cat coming around outside because we are one of the very few houses in the neighborhood that does not own dogs. The problem is, the cat is causing extreme stress and behavior problems in our indoor cats. I don't know who the cat belongs to, but I'm pretty sure it must be someones cat since it looks very healthy. It runs away when we open the door. I hate to be mean to the poor thing but I have to put my 6 cats first. Anyone have experience with cat repellents? Humane options only please.

    I live in an apartment complex with lots of roaming cats that liked to taunt my cat through the window. My grandma told me to spray vinegar around the area you see it at. It works but you have to do it almost everyday because it wears off. Eventually, the cat will stop coming around because of the smell. For me it was about 2 to 3 days when they stopped coming around. From time to time they'll come back and you'll have to do it all over again. Good Luck.

    Let your cats in your garden to rub their scent around it, that will warn the wild one off. Only fair way to do it

    Tobasco or Louisiana Hot sauce
