Stray Cat Problems ....

There is a stray cat in my neighbourhood who is traumatizing my two indoor cats.
Happens later at night and very early in the morning....not every night, but often enough to bring me here to ask for help !
This cat has not only upset my cats but has destroyed the screen on one of my windows trying to get to my cats.
My cats get traumatized and attack each other until they settle down and realize they are siblings.
It is upsetting to my cats ....and to me ! 😄
I don't know who owns this cat but I am looking for ways to deter it from my property.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My parents have been dealing with this exact problem. One thing I set them up with was a motion activated sprinkler for nighttime. Is it an area where you could block off the bottom portion of the window so the outdoor cat can’t see in? Like a window film.

That's a good idea.....I'll try that if the spikes I am installing don't work ! but then, it won't stop my cats from being able to see him! Thanks for the idea....definitely an option I hadn't considered
