Cats and Neighbours advice

[Vicky1110]

We have a cat, and I completely get that it can be annoying for other people when cats go into their non cat gardens. However, tonight I was calling my cat in and I heard her jump on our wheelie bin and then on to the shed where I could see her, and then all of a sudden my neighbour started spraying his hose into my garden at her. He got her, me and the shed wet. Is that allowed? I mean I understand in your own garden giving a light spray to deter a cat but this was the full on straight line spray directly at her on my shed, she's quite wet and spooked by it all. Is that something that people are allowed to do?

I very much doubt anyone would be interested unfortunately, you often can’t get neighbours evicted even for threats of violence and other serious anti social behaviour so I very much doubt you’ll get anywhere with a neighbour spraying your cat.

He sounds like a right piece of work.

The best solution imo would be to install cat proof fencing so your cat would be confined to her own garden only.

We've told our neighbour to feel free to spray our cats when they are in their garden.

Spraying a cat over the fence while in its own garden is just stupid. Explain this to your neighbour so he stops behaving like a dick.

I think a loud "what the fuck do you think you're doing?" would be in order if you got drenched by the arsehole.

POV: I live on a little road on a quiet estate.

I have a 1 year old cat who openly comes in and out of the house that likes to sit under the decking on the front. The past few weeks a much larger and older cat keeps coming to our front and attacking ours and cornering him under the decking so I can’t get to it, I’ve chased the cat off numerous of times but keeps coming back from as early as 5am. Me, my partner and the whole street get woken up to the most awful noise.

Any advice on what I can do.
TIA

I have a little water gun to spray our neighbour’s cat (with their blessing) when she comes into my garden to bully our cat. But to use a hose and in your garden is a dicky move. I’m sorry for you and your cat :(.
