I suggest you buy your neighbours a pair of aardvarks, it'll take your
mind off their cats. :-)

Actualy this has happened to me.a number of times. I used to live on one
of those silly estates that bans using any kind of fencing on the front
garden, where the problem was rife and the only realistic approach was
robust good humour. Nothing was going to fix it, so you might as well be
positive.

Even here, my (hedged) garden has been invaded by badly-trained dogs, which
not only leave droppings, but do sometimes damage other things too.
Last time I ended up with an £80 vet bill for one of my rabbits. I accept,
however, that one of my neighbours has a young and silly puppy, and they
are doing their best. Mistakes happen.

None of this causes me anything like the distress (and expense) I was
caused by bored and badly-trained children in my last house.

Oh, and the guy next door plays sentimental 30's ballads in his garden,
when I would rather have rock, and his speakers aren't up to much either.
Should I shoot him?

Shoot 'em all, I say

Actually I wouldn't mind doing that to one of my neighbours too

Yes - it would be the only kind thing to do.

Messiaen composed some organ music whuch is totally
cacophonous. The music becomes even more strident and
formless if you are in a position to play it through a setup
which allows you to switch off the woofer speaker.. The
occupiers of a certain nearby house was in the habit of
playing moronic pop loudly in their garden, until I started
annoying them by playing Messiaen organ music in mine even
more loudly, as organ music should be played.

I'll sell him some decent speakers. If he refuses to buy, you can shoot
him then.
