2026/08/01

Your neighbor’s cat turning your yard into a litter box? It’s frustrating, but legally, cats have a “right to roam” — no law forces owners to keep them confined. Start with a polite chat, then try humane deterrents like prickly plants or motion sprinklers. Mediation can help if tensions rise, and councils rarely step in unless it’s a serious, ongoing nuisance. No magic fix — just patience, creativity, and neighborly goodwill.
