First of all, call the police and animal control and report each and
every confrontation you have had with these people, time and date and
what your neighbor has said. We have creep neighbors who trap cats
and release them miles away and apparently also kill them in our
lovely university suburb. The animal control people AND the police
are concerned and have both spoken with them more than once. When
told that trapping animals was illegal he got a state permit. They
say that the cats steal the fish out of their fish pond. More likely
the raccoons. My mother lost cats before we found out what was going
on. Once she was looking for hewr old scared white boy and she found
him in their garage. They got mad at her for going in there to find
him. He later disappeared along with the cutest, tiniest little
feral black cat and his little feral mommy. The best we can legally
do is to watch their backyard to be sure there is no havahart trap
back there. So did one of our neighbors who feeds ferals and, (as an
aside) also has about ten indoor cats AND the cleanest, most perfect
house I've ever seen. It just shines!
He drove my mom's old cat 25 miles away and let him out in a forest
preserve. The only reason we got him back two long weeks later was
because he was living under a lady's deck and the lady took him to a
vet to see that he was healthy before she adopted him because he was
such a nice old kitty and I had microchipped him for my mom. But I
certainly feel the nightmare of losing the others.
I always tell people about these creeps. If I see a cat out and he
has a tag I always call the people and tell them about these people.
It's so disgusting. I hate it!

Do you believe this story....every day, I feed my front yard and
back yard cats (I love in a townhome attached on both sides)..and
have done so since we moved into the City in 1998. Last May my
elderly neighbor moved out (she was pet friendly and had
volunteered at the Humane Society) and new neighbors moved in (no
pets).
Over the weekend, I was cleaning out my backyard house of straw
from winter and the husband neighbor came over and said a cat was
pooping in the landing of his basement steps. I said I feed only
stray cats and you can't control where they go as you can't control
the birds pooping where they want. He said you don't walk in bird
poop. But in any case, I said to let me think about the situation
as it never happened before. So I went in and got a plastic bag and
cleaned up the poop as I didn't want any problems. Funny that noone
ever pooped in our landing but ours smells a lot better - not that
musty yuck smell.
Then that night, in the middle of the night, I realized the one
thing that changed was my husband put stone along the only grassy
section in the backyard. In the morning, I asked my husband to move
the stones as I figured that would probably make it stop if it was
indeed a cat/s.
Then, the door bell rings and my neighbor wants to speak to my
husband. Of course, it was about the cats. My husband said it might
not be a cat/s, there are skunks and possums. And just to put some
wood out to block the cat/s or animal/s from going down the steps
to the landing.
Then the neighbor says if it doesn't stop he's going to kill them!
Then my husband said he couldn't do that or he'd go to jail -- and
my husband said then he didn't have time to argue about it and came
in.
Now, I am worried about the kitties! I would love to take still
somewhat feral Mom cat (tho she lets me pet her) from the front
inside but I have way too many cats and doubt she'd appreciate it.
If we ever move, she is definitely coming.
I am crossing my fingers and hoping this blows over.
Thanks for listening, I know I am rather long winded!

Most were beautiful, loving creatures (even feral cats!) that died
