Why??

I live in a terraced house, with a 6 foot brick wall at bottom of garden. behind this is a cul de sac and so the wall is now the side wall of the house behind, well its garden actually. Yesterday i noticed something shiny on the wall from my lounge. Watched for a bit and realised there were many cats comi up to the bowl and eating from it, including mine. Then birds started to eat from it. I went outside and reached up to see that it was a bowl full of cat biscuits. bearing in mind that I have spent months trying to get cats that arent mine away from my garden as they keep coming into my house, I pushed the bowl away as far as I could. ive got up this morning and it is back and full up again and my back wall is now resembling cat alley! I dont want to fall out with this house owner, i dont know him apart from sight but I want him to stop doing this so how to I tackle it politely?

God I hope its not poisoned, I didnt even think of that!!

Excellent idea about the rat though. i will go and get bowl down and if he comes I will say I saw a rat on wall by it : )

Just be sure he isn't an ABer smowball or he'll know what you're up to ;-)

I was about to make a comment about poison but I see annie beat me to it.

Keep nicking the bowl (in the dark, so nobody knows it's you) - he'll run out of bowls one day.

If he continues to do it after you've had a polite word, throw any resulting cat sh1t that appears in your garden in to his.
