To think my neighbour is being unreasonable?

Bit of background - he and his wife are in their 50s, have no children, or pets and appear to hate both. So the neighbour has an immaculate garden. He often trims trees that overhang his garden from ours and throws the leaves and branches back over to us. Also he cut the hedge between our houses so much that they can now see straight into our living room (without asking if we minded). Said no to 6 yr old DS when DS tried to get his ball back which had gone over the fence (a once in a lifetime occurance may I add). So basically he's a miserable old bastard.

Since last year we have had a cat, which appeared in our garden as a stray and which we kept. Recently we noticed that the cat appeared to be pooing behind the shed. Only today I noticed that the poo is pretty much spread around, and then I noticed that some of it is on ledge, much higher up. Then it occured to me - the cat is obviously pooing in the neighbour's garden and he is randomly throwing it back into our garden. I know that cat poo is disgusting, but to throw it over the fence is a bit much - it's not like we can stop the cat doing it. So do you think he's right or wrong? And if you're with me and think he's wrong, what shall I do about it? (I'm tempted to wrap it up with a merry christmas tag on it and leave it on his doorstep, but maybe that's not really on )

I had a neighbour who let his trees encroach over my garden. His two cats used my lawn as a litter tray and I don't know what he was feeding them but it was a real mess, disgusting.

The result was my light was reduced and the lawn was basically unusable. It was completely antisocial and I don't think your neighbour is being unreasonable at all sorry (at least in respect of these 2 things).
