greyhoundowner 0 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Hello. I have just joined this forum today as I have been searching the web to see where I stand. I hope someone will be able to advise me. You will see from my user name that I own a greyhound. The owner of the house next door to me has three cats. One in particular persistently comes into my garden after dark to use it as it's toilet. My greyhound has chased it away successfully up until now (in the dark I don't know if it's there) but three nights ago things were a little different. Today it has cost me £85 in vets bill to attend to an infection in the throat caused by the cats bite and two infected areas on her back where the claws went in. I have seen the cat and that doesn't seem to have been injured in any way. I have not mentioned it to my neighbours yet as I don't know where I stand and what exactly to say.

Brewman 1,192 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 I would approach the neighbours and find out what they have to say, be polite and if it doesn't end to your benefit and there is absolutely no understanding, cooperation or compensation from them still be polite when you say good bye to them. It is their cat thus their responsibility but if they come out with the crap it can wander where it likes remind them it had a lucky escape. You're greyhound only has to be lucky once. My uncle had a problem with a cat pissing and shitting on his veg. It was relocated 20 odd miles away during the night. Some others have had an air rifle handy but I wouldn't recommend that, just putting it up for information purposes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
