How to stop a wandering cat discharge near my home?

We live in a country in which wandering cats are a lot and nothing can be done with the matter. It’s about 2 weeks that a cat come near our door and discharges (sorry) and goes. I hate cats and let it be their discharged matter!! How can I get rid of this animal?? I even don’t dare touching it. please help me. Is there any substance that cats hate much which I may put near the door so it doesnt come?
I really don’t think there is much you can do. The
high frequency noise the other person suggested
I would not recommend. I bought one of those
gadgets to discourage squirrell’s from digging
in the potted plants on my outside deck. Well
the squirrell’s went away and so did the birds.
My cats would cry inside every time I turned it
on even though I placed the unit outside. So if
you don’t already have pets, and you don’t really
care for the assorted wildlife outside, that would
work. Good luck in whatever you do.
Puts some tunafish by your door…………..chicken of the sea preferably
We have a stray cat or 2 that wanders around our yard as well. We’ve not had…’discharge’ issues before though.

Hope something in those can help you. If not then, perhaps calling the SPCA next time the cat is in your yard is your last resort.
That cat is marking your house as part of its territory, so there is always the possibility that all the stuff in the world won’t stop it. However, that being said, generally the best way to discourage a cat from a behavior is with noise or something that offends the senses in another way. you could put a sensor near your door that beeps at a very high pitch when the cat comes too close (these sensors are sold to discourage animals from jumping up on furniture, table tops, or other trouble spots in the house and emit a high beep to shrill for human ears, but that will safely and gently discourage the cat or dog). This won’t hurt the cat, or damage his hearing, but it will make him realize "hm, i don’t like this spot too much. too noisy".
Also, and this may not work for you, but i find that my cat despises the smell of tar and rubber cement, so maybe putting some of that out there will discourage him? Of course, since he is an outdoor cat of sorts, he may not be affected by it or may be used to those scents.
