Feuding neighbors

The neighbor that lives on the right side of us had four cats that she let roam the streets. This was somewhat of an annoyance because they kill birds and other wildlife; we know of one cardinal that had CD seeing red. Also, these cats would use our patio furniture as their beds due to the fact that they weren't allowed in her house. This neighbor takes off on weekends to their other property out in the woods somewhere, leaving their 18-year old son to feed them. Guess what? No surprise here, the cats would not get fed. So they roamed as cats are wont to do.

Now a new neighbor moves in on left side. Has other neighbors' cats dancing up on his roof at night, meowing under his window, fighting in his backyard. New neighbor hates cats. New neighbor goes to Animal Control and gets a catch cage. Traps all cats he can entice into the cage and off they go to the gas chamber. Other neighbor no longer has cats and I've seen Wanted posters by other neighbors on their missing cat/s.

While I understand the irritation of this neighbor, I do not understand him not asking any of the neighbors if these captured cats are theirs. He's weird and this is not the first time he displayed a singular lack of regard for others and their property. For an example, we have a oak tree that is on our common property line. He had tree man over to remove other trees and he wanted the part of our oak that hangs over his yard trimmed back. CD was working in our backyard while they were discussing it. The neighbor never said a word to CD about cutting it back. I was home one day and suddenly there is a man in my tree. I called CD who came by from work and handled it. Sometimes all it takes is common courtesy.


Our neighborhood is suddenly devoid of all roaming feline life. However, suddenly there is an increase in snakes, frogs, mice, and palmetto bugs roaming the neighborhood. And of course, feuding neighbors are always fun.
