Neighbour shouts for cat every night

[feduppn]

So my neighbour has multiple kittens/cats and every night she calls for them to come in.
Usually she does this for around 10 minutes at 9pm.

Tonight she has been yelling for a good half hour, my kids are asleep and she yells in the back garden close to the back bedroom windows.

I just don't think this is very considerate.

I have had to resist the urge to tell her to STFU.

AIBU

My neighbour did this at 5.30-6am every morning, screeching out the names of her many, many cats and bashing a spoon against their metal food dishes. The cats didn’t come because they were busy shitting in my garden. Someone must have told her to pack it in because she has stopped thankfully.

But cats can be trapped, for example in garages. This happened to one of my cats, he was trapped in a neighbour’s garage for 3 days whilst I searched for him and, yes, posted on Social Media about him.

We called him too (though not at 10:30pm). He finally miaowed loudly in response after 3 days. So it is worth persevering, though if a cat is missing it’s pointless just staying in your own doorway and calling from there rather than actually searching.

OP, sorry I was late and couldn't vote! My next-door neighbor actually does something pretty similar. Around 10:30 pm, or sometimes even past 11 pm, she screams her cat's name 3 or 4 times like she's at a rock concert! Her cat doesn't wear a collar or a tracker because she told me the cat has never worn one. She thinks it's 'uncomfortable for the cat and cruel to force it ...

you’re not sure why people voted IABU? because you gave them the option to! and you are being unreasonable. people are allowed to shout for pets and I’d much rather the shouting and they came back then seeing sad posts/posters about lost pets
