I have 2 young dogs, maltese, both very lovable, each weighing less than 2 lbs., both very friendly toward other people & animals. I live in a small group of units, each unit has a very small fenced-in private back courtyard. When I am home I leave the door open so my dogs can enter/exit freely. The person next door has cats who jump the fence, wander the neighbourhood, scratch my dogs unprovoked, spray/defecate in my yard, enter my house, eat the dog's food, knock over things in the house. The vet suggested I get a spray bottle & spray them when they come in my yard. The cat's owner saw me doing this, got really angry & started yelling. She also stated that it was inhumane according to the RSPCA & illegal to spray cats with water. Does anyone know if this is true or false? Any further advice? The neighbour said quite meanly to shut my door and don't let the dogs out because cats can wonder wherever they want, that cats don't have the same roaming laws as dogs.
