    I have been thinking about this neighbour business and if you haven’t got anyone who would speak to him and you don’t feel able to, maybe a ‘cease and desist’ letter from a solicitor might be an idea? I know it would cost but it would clearly establish that you are not happy with his actions and he can’t do it again.

    Hugs for the thing you’re not thinking about x

    Does this neighbour have a reason why he’s being like this? He sounds deranged. 

    Ugh to the procedure, hopefully it’s not as bad as you think and is over quickly.

    My next door neighbour has a lovely garden and wasn’t too keen on my cat or any of the neighbourhood cats being in her garden but excepted the fact they are cats and continues to be lovely and a great neighbour. So your neighbour is an asshat and would probably be horrible anyway.

    She was probably delighted when I said I will be keeping this one indoors!
