I hate it when cats try to come into my house, as well. Having the
house smell a bit of dogs helps, but I understand that's probably not an
option for you right now.
I wonder if there's something you could spray around your kitchen door
to make it unattractive to the cat? I know my vet sells products you
spray on furniture to discourage pets from curling up on it, and stuff
you spray on things outside to keep dogs from chewing on it (and that
worked reasonably well when one of ours started chewing on the supports
for the deck railing). You might ask friends with pets if their vet
sells anything like that. Or if there are shops near you that
specialize in pet stuff, you could go to one of those and ask if they
have anything like that.
