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.

True that. But that’s not the overriding point here. Freedom is. Just as I have every right to put a dozen plastic pink flamingos in my front yard. That might negatively affect other property values. It would be very thoughtless of me. Even spiteful. No matter. It’s my property.

Ah, yes. And here we would agree. At some point this lady might be breaking a reasonable law. Then it’s no longer a freedom thing.
But he is lying about cats going on his grass.
If they’re wild cats pooping in the yard his kids play in, seems like that’s also a health issue?
Unfortunately, leash laws don’t usually apply to cats. I suggest he start hosing them down and sprinkle repellent on his property. Cats (and some cat owners) are arrogant, but they’re not stupid. Having said that, we have a cat who likes to be outside. I would rather keep her in the house, but my husband coddles her. Even before he started letting her go outside, we had frequent cat visitors. Our cat is spayed, so I guess they just like to visit. Anyway, if someone wants to hose down our cat, more power to them. She needs to stay in her own yard or the vacant lot next door.
