Neighbours cat keeps getting stuck in our garden. Don’t know what to do.

November.

Hi.

Our boundary wall (semi d) is 7 feet and we have flower boxes all around for the bees on a shelf the whole perimeter (yes, we had permission to build this high) and the side entrance has a corrugated roof as we often dry clothes under it.

This effectively acts as a prison to any cat in the garden.

We have a lovely Rottweiler. Unfortunately she once almost caught the cat and even nipped its tail, I managed to pull her back because I was luckily in the garden at the time.

On other previous occasions the cat has gotten stuck because it comes into the garden to stalk the bird feeder. I’m sick picking up cat poo and having to let it out the side gate.

How can I prevent it entering my garden?

One of these days it might get trapped when I’m on holiday and starve to death or get caught by my dog when she’s in MY garden where she’s entitled to be.

Removing a section of the fence or a cat flap isn’t going to happen.

Stopping it getting in doesn't sound realistic tbh. What's your side gate/fence made out of?

If it's wood consider just cutting a small part off the bottom. That's what i did on ours and it lets cats get out easy but is too small for dogs, it also had the added benefit of letting Hedghogs in.

Build a ladder for cats to get out? You can disguise it as a flower shelf or something like that.

Tell your neighbour its not your fault if anything happens to the cat in your back garden.

And/or, if you want the cat to be able to escape your dog or get out of the garden put a trellis on your wall.

Have you spoken to your neighbours about it?
