All nice and cosy apart from 2 large black cats, these have collars and
look well fed so I assume they are from some where down the street.

There have been quite a few threads on this recently. The best one I read
involved getting a trap (cat clamp). It doesn't harm the cats but they don't
like being caged up for an hour or three. Apparently you can optionally take
the caged cats along to somewhere (forgot where but I'm sure someone else
will fill in the missing details) and they will release the cat for a
release fee! A bit like car clamping but for cats! It certainly makes owners
take more responsibility for their animals!

Since there is no law saying that the owner must confine a cat to his
own land, or stop it going on to someone else's land, trapping a cat
and refusing to release it except for payment would seem to be a bit
problematical.
