IS your front porch wood or concrete.
Pour a bottle of pinesol in a bucket and then pour the same about of water in it. Take a old broom and go over your porch. Let it dry. Do it again. It will kill the odor and for some reason it kills cat pee. You can powerwash before you do this if you choose but it does work. I am allergic to cats too... We to change all of our mulch to rubber mulch because of the neighbors cat using our flowerbeds as litter boxes. We also have issues with him sitting on our furniture but have given up on that.... That scat off doesn't deter him one bit.... We just end up washing the cushions all the time... Water bottles with white vinegar will deter a cat if you spray them... As for dogs I have many and it doesn't deter the cat... only time it works is when I let one out to chase it away. |

| Have you said anything to her at all? The allergy thing is a pretty compelling argument. |

We have a dog, and plenty of neighbor dogs that pee in our yard, and our neighbor cat has no problem being in our front yard and often heads towards the front door (maybe it gets a whiff of the dog, as it never has tried to get in). We don't mind since my son loves it, but I'd change my mind if the cat was peeing on my porch.
I would wash the porch (the pinesol apprach sounds the easiest), Get some kid-safe cat deterent and set up some sprinklers. I'd do that over the coke cans or other stuff. My old cat would have run away, but would have HAD to come back out of curiosity. |

I'd wage an electronic battle -- there's a whole slew of deterrents that use sound that only animals can hear (my neighbor used to use one to keep away another neighbor's cats) and there are also motion-activated sprayers.

| Sprinkle ground black pepper wherever the damn cat goes in your yard. It gets on their fur and then they clean their fur. They won't like it. Worked for me when the stray cat that the neighbor fed shit in my yard, next to our front door. |
