Neighbour threatening my cat - advice please?

That's a difficult one. My dad's a git when it comes to cats and put spikes in between the plants so when they jump off the fence they'll get impaled. He's also told the neighbours that he'll kill them if he catches them. It's weird. I think it's because they crap in other people's gardens, dig up plants and kill birds. But that's nature. I get my dogs to chase them off my property (I feed birds). I don't really know what to suggest - you'll just have to hope that they don't have a air rifle.
So you think your dad's a git for putting spikes down but think it's ok to let your dogs chase them? You're an IDIOT!0 -

:eek:.....................................................................:eek:I think we are missing the point about the distress here. The OP's cat has been causing distress to the neighbours, does that not count for anything? If you had a mice infestation that was getting into the neighbours house and causing distress would you not deal with it?
I think you're missing the point that I'm actually putting the nieghbours feelings before that of the cats. I hold all animals in the same high regard but sometimes the two just can't be happy side by side.
Apologies if my thoughts are rather radical but I see cats as being as valuable as birds or mice or any other creature. That it is a cat give is no more or less right to life.0 -

But its ok for cats to catch and torture birds because the poor things are so hidiously inbread that they have the urge but don't know what to do?
So are you going to start campaigning for everyone who owns a cat which has caught a bird to have it put down? Can't really see it happening myself. My cats are part of my family, I love and care for them, to lose them would be incredibly distressing for me.
Wild birds are not part of any human's family. It does not have the same emotional tie.0 -

The cat is doing what cats do naturally. If someone gets upset by a cat killing a bird then they are too easily upset. For crying out loud it's nature! Should we just kill all natural hunters because they kill another itty bitty animal?4 Stones and 0 pounds or 25.4kg lighter :j0 -
If I went to a PCSO would that have to be disclosed when I come to sell? If not perhaps that is my next best bet.
It's always a tricky one.
The declaration is quite vaguely worded iirc? so it could be interpreted that any dispute should be declared, even if informal. You're best to look at an up to date version of the seller's declaration form to check."One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0 -
