Blinky Cats How to scare away

Okay I am not a cat hater but my mutts are and we have a cat from down the road that just thinks it's great to wander around near ours. The cat isn't scared of barking dogs as it lives with 2. last night OH went out there at 2.30am to scare it off and it actually came to see him. It has also been known to follow him whilst walking the mutts.
OH threatened the BB gun but I wouldn't do that but have suggested get the super soaker out.
Can just imagine OH running around in the early hours with a souper soaker chasing a cat lol.

last year we sprinkled vinegar around the area as there was a lot of feral cats running about. (The whole area is gravel)

Any idea of how to stop the cat sitting across the road waving at my mutts?

Oh dear Uzzi, I know I shouldn't laugh... but my cat is dreadful for just the same thing.... he is convinced that every living creature loves him!

The only thing I can suggest is a water pistol, not the big things, but like the ones we used to have in the *olden days* lolol.... he would hopefully soon learn to keep his distance, for his own safety!

Love

Daff xxxx

Daff you may laff and this will make you laff even more.

We do only have a super soaker but OH sleeps in the nude and I can really see him running around at 3am in the morning with a huge spray gun chasing an innocent cat who won't let us sleep.
