You could try installing some of those motion-detector water sprinklers that are used to deter cats from being in your yard, but if you have a dog out there too he might get wet as well! (see link below for a typical product)
If you're not feeding him and if the rottie isn't scaring him, I'm not sure what else you can do. He sounds like one determined kitty!
Is he messing anything up in your yard? Tearing up flowers? Pooping in your planters? If he's not doing anything destructive like that, I'd just let him be if I were you. It sounds like this is one battle HE will win, and it's probably not worth your effort. He'll go away eventually once he finds another more congenial yard to hang out in!What is a good cat repellent (besides a dog) there is this cat that wont leave my yard?
People have used mothballs, cats don't like the smell. They also don't like the smell of citrus, maybe you can find something to spray or leave out there, just be careful that your small children don't get hold of it and ingest it.
Hi there...Common odours that are effective deterrents for cats are:
Citronella works best for cats as well as citrus scents such as orange or lemon (primarily towards cats), cayenne pepper, coffee grounds, pipe tobacco, lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and mustard oil.
';Havahart's Cat Repellent'; uses capsaicin pepper and oil of mustard as its active ingredients. It repels by both taste and odor, has a lemon scent.
Every animal responds differently to each of these. Some will not be phased by them and others will be quite revolting.
For training purposes they are applied on items that are to encourage avoidance behaviours and not for use with a squirt bottle as they could harm the eyes or respiratory system. Test each substance and observe to see which works as a deterrent so that accidental injestion does not occur as some could then be fatal.
Coleus plants can be effective, but every cat responds differently so it is uncertain without experimenting.

MOTHBALLS are toxic to cats which contains the ingredient Naphthalene. Mothballs are approximately twice as toxic as paradichlorobenzene, and cats are especially sensitive to naphthalene. Signs of ingestion of naphthalene mothballs include emesis, weakness, lethargy, brown-colored mucous membranes and collapses. Paradichlorobenzene mothballs may cause GI upset, ataxia, disorientation, and depression. Elevations in liver serum biochemical values may occur within 72 hours of indigestion.
Citrus fruit peelings - most cats can't stand them.
Having said that, I've known a few that are such single minded beggers, it's probably best to ditch the dog and learn to love cats!!
Cats really hate to be sprayed with water. So just turn the hose on the cat a few times and he will find another place to go.
If the ';damage'; occurs at night you would probably need to get the motion detector system on a sprinkler if you have an automatic one.
adopt the cat..it obviously likes you and your dog..
I like the ones like citrus and mothballs and chilli and water.. but I'd say to feed the cat... catch the cat.. then depending if the cat is feral or not.. offer the cat to the local pound.
At the very least, the cat will have a new different home.. not yours.
you got to mark the territory and defend it.. its likely that the cat had marked your yard as its territory (by piss) wash off all the pee with a garden hose on ur fence and piss there..
We had the same problem at our home. We littered moths balls all over our yard every few days. The cat didn't like them end eventually no mothballs were needed to keep it away. We also used orange and lemon peels, but that didn't work so well.
find out whose cat it is and tell them to come and get their cat or perhaps you may have to adopt it because it likes your house
well i have the same problem but i am taking care of it by feeding and giving it some water

Call animal control to trap it.
red hot chili powder, it worked for a friend, the cat didn't like it.
Mix chili powder with garlic powder and spread the mixture around your yard. Cats hate the smell.
if the cat doesn't belong to any one catch it and take it to a near by shelter
A gun.
just shoot it
I would say a nice pump action BeeBee gun should do the trick.
Use a bb gun. It'll sting the cat, so scare it away, but not permanently injure the cat.
