Sorry, disagree. The cat is the owner's property. (yes, cats are classed as property) and as such it is the owner's responsibility to ensure that their property does not cause damage, harass etc other people or their property.

Sorry to say this, but......
A cat holds a unique position in law in that the owner of the cat is not held to be responsible for the consequences of any trespass by the cat. It is an offence to put down poison or set snares for a cat. x

There isn't really anywhere to put one as the back wall is over 50% window and its a small terraced house. Also can't see the LL being amenable to it. He's a great landlord in lots of ways but can't see him viewing a catflap as a necessity as he isn't an animal person!

I will get her a water squirter and try to find some repellant spray for near her window and some flowers as suggested with a note to say sorry

That's a shame. It's so much easier with a catflap. I never had one for years but now would hate to be without one. Keep letting cats in and out is a pain (I still have to do it with my dog!). I take it you could not put one in your front door either? Not ideal admittedly but quite a few people near me have one in their front door.

How exactly do you do this? Believe me, telling a cat not to do something really does not work!

But you don't know unless you ask him. Do you have permission to have a cat?

You can buy lion dung that apparently scares cats away as there is a bigger cat in the area.

Try putting that on the boundary?

Can you add trellis to any fencing, or what is known as coyote fencing to keep the cat in your garden

delain

Trellis wouldn't help (unless they want to put it around their garden to keep cats out!) As there are several access routes to their garden and there is hedge on the other side of my garden between me and my other neighbours(the non cat hater side)
Can't really say to them 'oh can I chop down your mature hedge to make a cat prison because the lady at no xx doesn't like them"

Edit: I have permission for my cats yes. My LL doesn't understand why people bother with pets (he said so!)

You could get her a couple of these to be postioned across the doorway or window where the cat is gaining access. I have one on my doorstep to scare local Toms away from leaving their calling cards and it does seem to work.....I now turn it off for a day or so at a time and the Toms still do not come back.

We have a couple of cats that like to visit the pond. They have yet to catch a fish lol, hubby would have a fit if they did. (pond is covered by a mesh so not a hope in hell)

Yes they leave the odd parcel, so all I do is get a doggy pooh bag and pick it up. I cant see the problem myself, but I know we are all different. Should one venture inside, I just tell it to go home.

You could try Olbas oil on a tea bag, or Lion/tiger dung. Or just tell your neighbours better a couple of lovely cats than the neighbours from hell they could have xx
