[QUOTE="Chimera, post: 3003936, member: 2002"] 1. Check your local laws regarding animal licensing. Check the penalties involved. Some communities enact a fine for unlicensed animals. If this is the case, start calling the police. 2. City Inspectors. If they have the run of the basement and are doing this much damage, then the house may be a garbage house or there may be other problems. 3. Animal Control. Yeah, it's a pain. 4. Police complaints. When I lived in Minneapolis, three complaints about a dog would bring a $75 fine. A petition of neighbors would get it removed. 5. Civil Lawsuit for the damages caused to your yard, denial of the use of your yard, risks to the health of your allergic wife, time and expenses of removing the feces. Start collecting evidence, taking pictures, keeping receipts. Get or borrow a video camera and start filming the action. Then talk to an attorney. 6. If you feel particularly nasty, after collecting the feces, throw them in her open basement window. Or simply dump them in her yard - after all, they are HER responsibility in the first place. Me, I'd be flicking them in the general direction of her yard each and every time I came across a pile. Wet stuff will make a good impression on the side of her house or against a window! 7. Water Hose, high pressure nozzle. Spray the crap out of them with the hose each and every time that you see them in your yard. DO NOT simply kill the cats. You can be subject to criminal charges for animal cruelty and possibly other things as well. Then YOU become the bad guy. [/QUOTE]
