Problem with neighbors cat

Post by Steve Ferry »

My wife and I live in a 1st floor apartment. On the ground floor, there is a wooden pergola and both our cat and our neighbors cat can climb off our balconies onto the pergola. Apparently our cat was going into the neighbors apartment and tucking into the cat food she has in a bowl so she would just open the front door and shoo him out so we put up a barrier to prevent access to the pergola. However, her cat has been climbing onto our windows which overlook the pergola and has badly damaged the fly screens. We have had a quote for €80 to repair them but she won’t stop the cat going onto the pergola as she would ‘loose her view’. I could easily put up a barrier which wouldn’t spoil her view but she says she has had a ‘man’ out and he says it can’t be done. We’ve also been woken up at 4am by her cat at our bedroom window.

Any suggestions regarding our rights? She is also a member of our management committee so I think going to them would be a waste of time.

Thanks, Steve.
