Neighbour HATES my cats!!!!

Intothesea

EIN, maybe it wouldn't hurt to consider the
benefits that cats bring to households of their
area, mouse and rat dispersal being the best. I'd
agree though that it doesn't much matter when
you have young children. Maybe you could ask
your neighbour to cover the costs of cat-proofing
your garden? It would beat spiriting away a
beloved family pet any day of the week.

:mad: I have the same issue with other peoples cats , pooping on my property, firstly i had bark chipping at the front of my house at the flower bed, and i learned from that , had to go and get stones instead..:mad: some people have no regard for others property.:mad: cats will poop every where but there own garden FACT!...

now that i have found that replacing the bark chipping with stones , i thought problem gone...until this morning i discovered that cats have changed their game plan and are pooping on the back garden grass instead.

im really annoyed, the cats belong to a house a few doors up..

im considering my options, on what to do, ( some not so nice ideas ( for the cat that is) )

the way i see it, if an owner does not have his/her animal under control and lets it ramble around and damage other peoples property , and if a cat contiunually damages property, by peeing and pooping, the cats owner cannot really complain if the cat gets shot/exterminated/ etc...

is there anyone i can complain to, council warden etc?

We have a sand box in our garden for my cat and I know from cleaning it out that my cat is not crapping anywhere else. Also I have already given my permission to our next door neighbours that if they do catch my cat crapping in their garden to throw cold water at her, although they have never had to do this as she has her sand box.
Also, I will say that we definitely do not have mice in my house and on occasion, my cat has come home with dead mice. Ones she must have caught somewhere else. A useful service for others in my opinion.

If your neighbours cat is crapping in your garden on a regular basis, ie using it as a toilet then knock up to them and tell them.

You can actually have a cat and it not be a trouble maker, ya know!

I don't see why a neighbour should have to cover the costs of cat proofing a garden. I have spent hundreds cat proofing an area for my cats, my neighbours have cats too and I would prefer if their cats were not so inclined to roam onto my property - mainly for the cats safety as there are hazards for them other than the busy road. But, I do not understand why I should be expected to pay to keep their cats safe too.

No person should ever be causing a threat to any animal, it is particularly bad in this case since the objection is simply to them being there. But, the onus to do something about a situation is the person who considers themselves the owner.

I'm not sure I read you there, Carwash. If
no-one else in the locality minds the cats
roaming apart from the wonderful gentleman
in question, why is it unfair to ask the cat
-owners to pay to keep their cats out of
the only affected garden? If there is general
resistance then keeping the mogs in owner's
garden is ideal. All depends on the situation,
I suppose.

Yes it is just this one man,
However the cats dont roam very much(whenever l go out to the garden they are there) as l said previously
they are spayed(cat protection caught them and asked if l would be prepared to home them)
After hearing what their fate would be otherwise l agreed.
l have seen this man squirt water from one of those Huge water guns at the cats while they are sitting
on ......MY SHED....ROOF...basking in the sun,as they love to do.

Unfortunatly l am not great at confrontation and although l can stand my ground am usually left shaking
afterwards.
And as my young son would be around to see this l tend
to keep myself away from what l know will turn into a
situation l wouldn't want him to see.

Sorry Sharpshooter, I recommended asking
for the neighbour to cover the costs to EIN,
not yourself!! Can't believe the guy you're
dealing with -- the cops/threat of the ISPCA
sound like a good way to go with him.

Good luck

what do you mean? can you word this a little better.

It might become clear with post no. 62 EIN.
You could give it a shot if everyone else in your
area is okay with the cats, I would ask anyway.
Good luck.
