Well, yes. The neighbor has no right to tell the lady what to do on her own property. If she wants to feed stray cats, she can feed stray cats.
And if the neighbor doesn’t like the cats pooping on his property, he can put up a fence. It’s just as simple as that.
What she is doing on her property is negatively affecting his property.
If they are her cats she has no rights for them to roam onto his property and crap all over it.
So he does have a right to try to correct it and stop it.
Especially if there are leash laws that apply, or feeding ferals laws.
Those particular type of fences (about 4 feet high with wires that can be climbed on) are easily climbed over by any cat that isn’t geriatric. Probably need picket type that are 6 or 7 feet high. Also if there’s a tree nearby, cats climb trees easily. No problem has been solved IMHO.
Um, cats can jump fences or go around them. Once they find a spot they like...skies the limit.
I’m sure there is some kind of ordinance she is breaking. She is creating a nuisance by feeding stray cats. Just keep calling the animal control or whomever controls that issue in their town. Once she has to start paying out of her pocket, well, then she might stop.
I’ve dealt with issues like this and with people who are extremely evil in their actions, and once you “compromise” with their bullying tactics, you lose and it gets worse. They step up their attacks.
Our local cops hated coming by-she called them quite often, after the second visit one of the sheriffs gave us their card and said to call her direct if she does anything at all. The sheriffs were considering charging her with harassment and calling police without cause.
It mellowed a bit, but you could tell she was always pissed when she saw us. Heck, we just wanted to use our backyard but after all the things she did, we were afraid that she was going to try and poison our dogs. We never got to use the backyard and left three years ago.
Yes but at the same time the old lady does not like the neighbor’s kids on her lawn. You know how kids can be, the smaller they are the more they go everywhere. Even in their teens they tend to get into mischief.
I would like to build fencing that keeps cats out of my property. What kind of fencing does that?
You cannot stop a cat with a fence. You need to dig a trench.

Fences may stop dogs. They don't stop cats. They just make it easier for them to get on the roof.

my SIL likes to feed the birds except she also attracks rats, mice, raccoons, skunk, even a possum and this is in town...she puts out sugar cereal....they go crazy...
can't imagine what the neighbors think...
Fences don’t keep cats out. If it were me, I’d start live catching them in my yard & turning them into the Humane Society.
