Having too many cats in the neighbourhood can be a problem. Whether it’s cats fighting, spraying, or making noise, having an excessive amount of cats can be disruptive and unpleasant. It’s important to remember that most people who own multiple cats are simply trying to provide a safe home for animals that need it. But if your neighbour has too many cats for you to handle, what should you do? 

Talk to Your Neighbour

The best thing to do if your neighbour has too many cats is to talk to them about it calmly and politely. This conversation should happen in person if possible. Explain why the situation is causing problems for you, such as excessive noise or messes that need to be cleaned up. Mention any safety concerns you may have, such as the possibility of wild animals coming into your yard because of all of the cats in the area. Ask them what they plan on doing about the situation and see if there is anything that can be done together. 

Reach Out To Animal Control 

If talking to your neighbour doesn’t seem like an option, or if they refuse to do anything about the problem, then it may be time to reach out to animal control. Animal control is responsible for enforcing laws relating to animal ownership and care. They can investigate complaints regarding pet owners who have too many animals, provide advice on how best to deal with this situation, and even issue citations or fines for those who break animal ownership laws. 

Seek Professional Help 

It’s possible that your neighbour may need professional help with their cat-owning habits. If they appear overwhelmed by their pets or unable to properly take care of them due to financial constraints, then it may be worth suggesting that they seek help from a local animal shelter or organisation dedicated to helping pet owners in need. These organisations are often able to provide food, medical care, and other resources needed by pet owners who may not have access themselves. 

Having too many cats in one place can create a lot of stress for everyone involved—both humans and animals alike! If you find yourself dealing with this issue in your neighbourhood it’s important to remain calm and take action based on what will work best for everyone involved. Talk with your neighbour first and see if there’s something you two can do together; but don’t hesitate reaching out for professional help if necessary! With patience and understanding from both parties involved, hopefully you’ll be able find a solution that works for both you and your furry neighbours!
