We have 2 cats. They have a catflap so go outside when they like. My neighbour has started complaining that one of them likes to sit on their outside table (during the day, not while they're actually using it)
AIBU to think this is a bit nuts? I mean we get foxes, magpies, all sorts so why worry about cats?
I mean if the cats were pooing in their garden I'd understand- they use a litter tray so pretty sure they don't - also I'm sure neighbour would have said, but sitting on their table?
Would you try and think.of a way to stop cat doing it or ignore? I've told neighbour to spray the cat with a water pistol if he wants but haven't really got any other ideas.
AIBU?

Just do what I did and tell your neighbour that you’ll have a chat with your cat about this.

My neighbour has just come to apologise that her water feature has stopped working
"Is Ollie in? (The cat) I know he liked a drink out of it, I've ordered another and it'll be here tomorrow tell him if he's thirsty"
sure I'll tell him

I am terrified of cats and would hate anyone s cat in my garden . ITs your pet , don’t inflict it on others . Dogs aren’t allowed to roam freely , neither should cats.
