doeraymee, cats are fine outside, it's just that when it's cold they avoid going out. The cat we had when I was young would stay out all night, but the one we lost recently was very much an indoor cat. Both liked to be outside, though, especially when it was sunny.
Have you tried smells? My cat stays away from anything with a strong lemon scent, and avoids my hands (and hence keyboard) if I've used strongly-scented hand cream. If that fails, post him to me, he sounds gorgeous.
When our dog was a puppy she used to like playing with wiring and plugs. We used to shut her out of the room and we also bought a spray which puppies and kittens aren't supposed to like. Pull all plugs out first, spray, let it dry, then reconnect. It's called "Pet Behave Training Spray". I used to like the smell!
Have you got one of those wire wastebaskets? Turn it upside down over him. It'll act like a cage, but he'll still be able to move around the place. Give him some toys inside it also. :)
cat scratching post smothered in catnip. Used to work for mine, she used to balance on the top of it on all four paws - of course now I dont think she would be able to get one on there 'cause she's huge.
reat suggestions folks. Sorry Highland Midge but for all his faults he's staying with me.
MarcB, truly awful idea, I hate goldfish.
Buddy has just performed one very useful task, and I don't mean in the litter tray. I have never worked out how to pick up messages off my phone, but he, with one sroll across the phone, has done it for me. Just wish I knew which button he stood on!!!
haha My Tina (and she's the "good" cat) is always turning the answering machine on and off. She also likes to stand on the power bar and push the button. I can always tell because all of a sudden the air purifier shuts off for no reason.

Telling him to chase the dogs does not work.
Giving him a ball to chase does not work.
Strangely enough, feeding him does not work.
Even telling him he close to death does not work. Oh look out the little sod is back!
I cannot work under these conditions, I need help.
