I'm not sure what the best way to handle this situation is..... My neighbor is unfortunately an incompetent and an irresponsible pet owner to all of the animals on there property. So, talking to them about it is out of the question because they are the type that already don't take responsibility for or proper care of there animals, and since we live out in the country there are no authorities to call to enforce anything.... So, I'm kinda between a rock and a hard spot. I feel I have no choice but to take matters into my own hands... I don't want to hurt the cats, and I understand that the reason they have the cats is to eliminate mice because they have horses..... But, I've had enough of there cats shredding my trash and this morning catching one trying to get into my chicken pen was the last straw.... My current plan of action is to put out a live trap and just take them somewhere else and release them. Like I previously said, I do not want to hurt the cats, but I refuse to just let them have there way with my chickens and if I didn't happen to look out the window when I did, this morning would have likely already ended in tragedy! Please let me know how you have handled this problem and what my options may be for humanely getting rid of the cats while keeping discreet enough to not cause problems with my neighbors..... Thanks!
