I need suggestions how to deal with a condo unit owner who is fed up with the cats playing on his patio and patio furniture. He said if they would stay by the dumpster (where I feed them), he wouldn't have a problem with them. But they are interferring with his sleep, etc. Although he said he won't poison them, he is prepared to call animal control. He blames me for the problem because I fed them.
Some volunteers and I TNRd nine cats (all male except one) this weekend, which he knows, but he doesn't care: they still (he says) bother him. I gave him a pamphlet by Alley Cat Allies about how to live with cats in your neighborhood which also addresses the "vacuum effect".
I will give him the cat deterrent I bought for him and hope that he uses it. I can move the feeding area even further from him. But the cats also hang out in the warm, dry utility shed opposite his condo unit. I am somewhat limited in what I can do because of the condo bylaws.
I am SOOOO afraid that I'm going to get home from work one day and the cats will be gone. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
