Why dont you go around to your neighbours and explain that the chickenwire is stopping your cats getting into your garden? Stay nice and polite and hopefully it will do the trick. If they refuse then take it down yourself, all sneaky like they did. And stop calling your girlfriend names, if I had been soaked by the water like your g/f then the neighbour would need the hose pipe surgically removed.

**** them, they are only neighbours and you can get more!! Had an issue with one of mine once, I think he kicked my dog (4 legged one). Dog never gets out of the back of the house without being taken for a walk on a lead. But one morning I had left the gate open and he did. On realising what had happened I went out the front door to be greeted by my dog scarpering back across the road and guy in house opposite flapping his arms and shouting. So conversation ensued, me trying to establish if he had kicked my dog. He said no ic ouldnt get to it. So I politely told him if he ever did kick my dog I would kick him even harder! Havent had a problem since.

Martha, 83, says:

"I dont know what his problem is, I told them I didnt like cats..... and one day I tripped while walking through the garden with a basin of water and it went up the side of the fence with some of it going over to the other side unfortunately, before I could apologise, she has turned up some euro hard house music.

"A couple of days later, to prevent the cats coming back into the garden and risking them irritating my allergy, which results in violent fits, we put up some chicken wire.

"We thought that would be the end of it all, we were going to invite them round for Tea one night to get to know them a bit better.. BUT?!

"The Psychotic StueyB" proceeded to buy a couple of chickens in a sarcastic reply to the appearance of the chicken wire on the fence........ then deciding this wasnt enough, he's began tossing Moomin's poo onto our vegetable patch!?

"We couldnt even enjoy our new patio furniture as anytime we tried to come out the back door he'd be waiting to soak us with his garden hose from a little hole he'd carved out of the fence.. The guy's a lunatic... "


There's always 2 sides to every story............


Cheers,
Grant

That's debateable Les, but either way one could argue that if you don't have the land/facilities to contain and look after an animal then you shouldn't be keeping it in the first place.

Blimey I'm agreeing with ajm on this one

Our next door neighbour has two cats, which are outdoors probably 99% of the time. We keep catching them attacking the wildlife in our garden (fish out of the pond, frogs, toad, newts etc all attacked), as well as finding dead birds, voles etc on the grass. Nothing we can do about it, (tried everything bar a shotgun), but it's flippin annoying.

Perhaps we could bring in cat hunting and give all those poor out of work fox hunting folks something to do
