How to stop my outdoor cat from using neighbor's yard as a litter box?

Question

Hi- I have an indoor/outdoor cat, and my neighbor has started complaining about the cat using his yard as a litter box. I'm not willing to make my cat indoor only. Between some sort of fence-topper, spray, or sonic device, what's the best way to keep him out of their yard?

You can use an invisible fence, and there are ones specifically for cats. That would help keep your cat in your yard and out of your neighbor's yard. Other than the other things you have suggested, short of monitoring him every time he goes outside, it will be very difficult to keep him out of their yard. I know you aren't willing to make him indoor only, but that is the only way to keep him out of their yard for sure. I would look into an invisible fence for him.
