The neighbour's cat (kitten? about 6 months old?) is making determined efforts to get in my house, especially once it goes dark, and any amount of cuteness does not outweigh it being an asthma trigger.
I'm having trouble spotting it much of the time - black cat, unlit garden etc., and what was once amusing is becoming tiresome. I'm convinced it sees me returning home and follows me to the front door - surely it doesn't lie in wait - and then tries to get in as the door is opened.
Is there an acceptable way of deterring it?
I'll try the 'Any question answered' thread shortly, but I thought here might be a better starting point than inviting answers involving tigers or electricity...
