My neighbors on 3 sides of my home, all have cats that they allow to roam the neighborhood freely. For some reason they want to congregate at my house. The cats have destroyed my flower beds, raised bed garden plants, patio furniture. The males spray everything including underneath my car which then leads to me having to have the undercarraige washed constantly. One made a large hole in my wooden door of my shed to go inside and have kittens. I have tried multiple "humane" ways to keep these destructive, nasty critters away but nothing works and I am sure that's because the neighbor directly beside me puts multiple bowls of food outside on her porch to attract them in - because she "cares so much about them". She never allows them inside her home, even in the worst weather. These cat owners who allow and encourage free range cats IMO should be fined heavily and barred from ever having pets again. I've called the local humane society as well as local law enforcement, town council, etc and no one will do anything to remedy the problem. I'm ready to set out traps and permanently "rehome" them.
