I had a similiar problem with a nieghbour a few years ago. I asked the police for advice and they said they couldn't do anything because I hadn't seen her do it so couldn't say hand on heart that it was definately this particular neighbour. They did give me some kind of reference number though in case things escalated. I think as you've seen that it was your neighbour you can ask the police to have a work with her. (if you want to!)

What makes you think that?

The law makes me KNOW that. Cats are deemed 'free spirits' in law, and so can go where ever they choose and their owners cannot be held responsible. Hence, the onus is on the land owner to keep cats out if they don't want them, not on the cat owner.

Yeah that is all good untill you get a neighbour poisoning your cat/hurting the cat in any way when they get fed up with your ca/s crapping in their garden.

So, in my books - you have the cats so YOU need to (somehow) make sure they do not cause the nuisance to others.

If that means yu securing YOUR garden to stop them going to other people's gardens - so be it.

Whatever the "law says" - decent thning to do is to take responsibility for your own pets. Why should someone who does NOT have cats have to spend money on cat proofing their garden?

Seriously...

Yes, I do have cats - 6 of them. The do their toilet indoors. End of. If anyone ever compalins about them doing otherwise - will deal with it then.

just need advice.. my cats i know they are free spirits, but i do what i can do deter them from going elsewhere to do the poops..

one side of me my neighbour is lovely and i buy what i can to help stop Gizmo doing his thing.. fingers crossed we might have won the battle so far.


The other side completely different, we dont get on she told the council i was using a parking space that was 3/4 on my bit of the property and 1/4 on her's even tho i assumed (as did all the neighbours it was a communal drive - even if it was put in a stupid place) council agreed it was communal but no as far as this old dear is concerned its hers all hers. Even when the council confirmed in writing to both of us (at my request).

so anyway we have put up some plastic fencing so if gizmo tried to get on it, it would be too wobbly and he would give up, no chance first go up and over... they have now put metal fencing up with spiky bits.. is this safe/allowed.. what do you think.. 2 piccys




first picture a close up so you can see the spiky bits

she should think herself lucky, my neighbours dog and cat both use my garden as a toilet.

How does their dog get into your garden?

It's practically impossible to "cat proof" a fence for a determined cat (mine regularly climb over the 6" high fences here) but should be fairly straightforward to "dog proof" one.

I am pretty sure that any kind of spikes/broken glass or similar are not allowed, did you check with your council?

Those look horrid....
