Carolyn One thing that might do some good if you can do it, is to wait for him with the garden hose ready and when you see him, give him a sharp and sudden soaking. Some cats will learn to stay away after one or two 'baths' but some take several wettings, and of course I am sure some will just learn to avoid that two-legged creature with the lo-o-o-o-nnnnng skinny arm. BB guns are also popular, you can put in rock salt and thus only hurt him a little but that may be illegal where you live. Lis Allison, Carp, Ontario, Canada, very snowy and beautiful in the woods
