chicken wire wont do anything and it is his fence. I agree with the OP but I would probably leave it.

.Amazing the amount of personal attacks and insults the op is getting some of you need to get a grip and need to stop the insults.
As for the op. If the chicken wire was put up properly should have left it. If however it was a mess I would have removed it and reapplied it properly after speaking to person who put it up to find out the actual problem.
I might be stating the obvious here, but unless this fence is 15ft tall, blocking a hole is not going to stop a cat from reaching the other side.

That's probably because the OP was insulting his neighbour when in fact it was him that was being the batty one...
I can understand your neighbours annoyance at having toxoplasmosis-infected faeces dumped in their garden, why is it that so many cat owners are irresponsible and allow their animals to roam the neighbourhood to annoy neighbours, spread disease and get hit by cars when dog owners are able to keep their animals confined to their property? Simple solution if you can't keep your animals on your own property, don't own any!
If you can teach a cat to respect human boundary's you will be a very rich man.
Still not acceptable calling someone a muppet and idiot.

There's a very simple solution to this. Get a dog. They actually care about you, and show it.
Made my neighbour literately LOL, as she put it "I heard this hissing and went to look, saw my cat in attack/defence mode, which was followed about 3 seconds later by a loud bang and your dog appearing at warp factor 5 in a shower of broken wood panels and splinters!!"There's a very simple solution to this.

Woke up this morning feeling fine........
Let my dog out for morning wee wee and noticed right at the end of my garden that my fence which has a small 8" hole at the foot of it has chicken wire stapled to it from the other side.
So being a good neighbour I pushed it out.
Now this 'land' at the end of my garden on the other side has 5 old peoples bungalows built by the council.
The fence is mine, how do I know this? Well 3 years ago it was 9ft conifers which I took down and replaced with a fence which I paid for.
The old lady who lives at the one closest to me has shouted at me a year back telling me that my cats have been doing do da's on her grass.
I have 2 cats and yes it maybe them, but also everyone around here has cats so it could be any of them. I have had words with my cats and they promised not to do do da's anymore on her lawn.
Now the point really is, is this old lady and her husband allowed to staple chicken wire to my fence? Or shall I now sue her for criminal damage.
Really annoyed me this morning. ( I cut my finger too pushing the wire back through )
my brothers friend once caught a cat doing its business on his lawn. he caught it one day, picked it up by its tail, rubbed pepper in its nose, and swung it round by its tail and let it go over the fence. lesson learnt.![]()
I have house cats that do their business in a litter box, so my pets don't contribute to stealth poos. I do get the occasional gift left in the garden from the neighbours cats from time to time, its really not that big a deal imo just bag it and tag it.
