the back drop
i have a garden, that is 12 metres by 6 metres wide - grass for most cut short, i also have a porch.
end of garden, host a shed, thats 6ft by 4 feet wide, and next to the shed, i laid down branches, about 4 feet high, just in front of the branches cats were using it as a toliet, i placed two 6 by for feet fence, that i got from scrap, over the area been used as toilet, using the branches to create the angle to the soil, didn't have tools at hand stop gap.
Cats now use one door down from me, garden as a toliet. think owner fo cat property, me, then, mr jones to me.
there are 5 cats:
adult female with collar
adult female without collar - dropped 3 kittens in april or may of this year
3 kittens all female, one with collar
i beleive the cats belong to next door, as i have seen the husband and wife feed them, on numerous occassions, left overs, bone with little meat etc, cabbage, pitta bread, although wife denied it in june of this year.
Not enough food for all 5 cats, just throws it in their garden floor, or aliminium takeways boxes.
Cats have housed them self, within the branches as a kind of shelter, persumably as a tree over looks that area also.
Issue:
The cats are middening all over my garden and all around the shed area, footpath and porch.
finding pieces of food on my porch, as with not enough food to go round, cats are calling dibs, jumping over the fence, into my garden to scoft, uninterrupted.
area end of garden, where cats have housed themself, was out this morning, trying to clean the shed, they would not move, even though, i was throwing disinfectent and water around the shed, not in the cats direction, feline with collar looked at me but wasn't bothered.
a tom cat in the area who impregnated, the feline without the collar, [dropped 3 kittens may or so this year], constantly making trips thru my garden, to the neighbours, or if the cats are residing on my porch, to check if they are in heat, including the kittens.
feline with collar, has started breast feeding the kittens of the other feline cat, who gave birth in may, since sept, and i persume could be pregnant, or is it continual stimualtion.
i tend to my garden with shears, every seven to 10 days, grass is about 3 to 4 inches high, planning to do some planting, probably around the christmas period.
further questions:
is the a grounds for animal cruelty
what do i do with the end of garden, branches been utilized as a shelter
what do i do about the middening
Parasites from all the middeing
can not leave back door open, without one the cats trying to get in
