Neighbours Cats attacking dog

    We have a small puppy who plays out in the back garden. Generally always someone with him or at least in the kitchen to keep an eye on him. Our neighbour has 2 cats that are out most of the day and they keep coming into the garden and try attack him as soon as we go back into the house. Not really sure what to do about it. When the dog gets bigger he'll be fine but right now he's too small.
    Should I say something to my neighbour? Not much she can do though as cats are generally pretty wild.

    are they coming in over the fence or through a hole or just walking in, if you could block how the cats get in they might just go somewhere else. Or if they have a spot they like to sit put something there and hope they find somewhere nicer to go. also just generally shooing them away when you see them in the garden, they'll eventually go where it's less hassle for them

    Are they attacking him or trying to play with him?

    Cats are territorial so maybe he is in what they believed to be their territory?

    they are coming in over the wall. Before we got the dog we had terrible trouble keeping them out as they kept ****ting in our flower beds. We put down stuff to keep them out but it only lasted a while. They are definitely trying to attack him.

    Not odd at all. I had a pet cat attack my adult Border Terrier a few weeks ago. My dog would have killed it had I not had him on his lead.

    To the OP just make sure you always supervise your puppy & hopefully when he gets bigger it won't be a problem.

    thanks, I figured as much but just thought I'd ask in case anyone had any ideas. I'll just continue to keep an eye on him

    Get yourself a super-soaker water pistol, and soak the cats every time they come into your garden. It might take a while, but they'll decide it's no longer a nice place to hang out.

    was just going to say get a water gun and spray them everytime you see them coming into the garden or on the wall..they will soon get tired of it...
