To think my neighbour needs to grow up and stop ignoring my kids and my cat

[nightime]

I've written on here before how my neighbour accused me of dobbing her in to her employes about apparently being off sick when she wasn't.

I didn't dob her in, I have no interest in her or her family,

She accused me in the garden whilst I was hanging out my washing, I told her I didn't have the foggiest idea what she was talking about, She then went inside,

I was fucking fuming so knocked on her front door to find out exactly what she was chatting about and once she actally took the chain off and opened the door a few inches she said that her workplace had said that a neighbour had told them that she was off sick when she wasn't. We live in a cul-de-sac of prob 40 houses, i am not her only neighbour yet this happened weeks ago and I am the only neighbour that she has accused of this,

I was friendly with them as they only moved in a couple of years ago and the fence between our gardens is a low one, so obviously spoke to them when we were both in the garden and she paid much interest in my cat, they used to coax him into their house and made him very welcome, (tbh I didn't like it as I was worried they would let him out front, which he he isnt used to as too much traffic) I told them about this and all was ok.

The last time I spoke to her she said that she believed it wasn't me, (which it wasn't) but she doesn't really believe that as she is still ignoring me, my kids and my cat, I saw her this morning from my window actually going to kick him away, up untill now she has encoraged him to go to their back door,

If she had of touched my cat I would have smacked her one, I have said hello to their son since then when I have seen him but he has ignored me,

What would you do?

Honestly, I'd carry on ignoring her. You've tried to smooth things over, if she wants to be a tit about this, that's her loss isn't it?

If she harms the cat or one of the children in any way, report her.

I'd let her fester in her own shit to be honest, if she wants to act like an asshole let her.

But if she touches her cat I'd pull her on it.

Smack her one if she kicks or otherwise harms the cat.

Otherwise, just ignore her.

Oh No nothing worse than a bastard neighbour. Ignore her and as Tinydancer says, report if you need to. Plus buy a bloody big fence with trellis and grow a honey suckle up it.

I'd just ignore her back as she's obviously not going to back down. I have neighbours who ignored us cos DH wouldn't do some free gas work for them.

I love my moggy and if one of the neighbours did anything to hurt it I would end up doing time!

I was having kittens a while ago when I saw the report on that stupid cow put the cat in the wheelie bin.

Ignore the mad women but keep an eye on the moggy! :)

Had to laugh when I read "ignoring my cat..."

Had visions of lovely cat walking past, saying hi to miser neighbour, they blank poor kitty....

But then I read your post. As a cat lover myself, if anyone hurt my cat they will lose their legs. at least.

YANBU

Just ignore her, she sounds a bit unhinged.

I am going to ignore her, Not much I can do about the fence as it is her fence and my house is housing assiosiation so they wont replace that side,

I am defo watching out for my cat though, If I see her lay a finger on him I will have her,

You sound really odd and agressive.

"smack her one"?? Lovely.mi

why do I sound odd and aggresive?

If she touched my cat then I would smack her one, She has taken it upon herself to accuse me of something I havn't done and even though I've told her it wasn't me she is taking it out on my kids and my cat,

You might think, oh its only a cat but she has no right to be horrible to him just cos she has the arse with me over nothing..

Send the cat round to shit in her garden. If it doesn't already. Is the cat particular devastated to be ignored though? Only if you make too much out of this appalling slight, the cat could end up with serious ishoos.

I do not know how he feels as he cannot tell me, I do think he prob finds it a bit confusing as one minute he is being called by her to their back door and the next when he goes near he is either being ignored or gets a foot extended towards him,

I do hope he does shit in her garden, preferably where she doesnt spot it so she treads in it.

All sounds very weird to me. I wouldn't worry about your cat, because cats adjust very quickly. It will be only be kicked once before it simply stays away from her. Rise above it - give her huge, beaming friendly smiles when you see her over the fence. She will soon be horribly ashamed of her pettiness.
