Has a crime been committed
Discussion
What do you honestly think?
do you expect they would selling this sort of cat repellent stuff in super markets if it was illigal to use.
If their use of it has become a nuisance then you might have grounds to take legal action to get them to stop and/or claim compensation from them, a crime does not have to have been committed for that to happen.

Cats rarely s
t on a lawn?....rubbish.My neighbours cats are constantly leaving turds on my lawn and I've seen them doing it.
The sooner some cat owners realise that their cats don't return home for a crap when they're out and about the better.
I'm sick to death of removing stinking horrid cat s
t, I used to like cats but hate the fkers now. Let's widen this.
This actually happened about 15 years ago. I lived in the country at the time. Five houses with gardens grouped together, farm land all around, but no farm houses with half a mile.
One set of neighbours decided to keep chickens. Bloody cockerel used to wake us up at dawn every day, but we accepted that, along with combine harvesters at midnight, crop sprayers all day and military helicopters at 10.30 at night at 100 feet, as part of living in the country. (We have moved since then, the next house we used to get aerobatic Eurofighters doing vertical climbs at 500 feet over the garden, the present one we get the Red Arrows and the BBMF at 200 feet on their way home - now that I like).
Another neighbour had a cat. The chicken keepers had problems with rats and mice, so deployed rat poison. The cat suddenly got ill and died, and the post mortem found rat poisin in its blood stream. Anyone committed any offences? I guess not, just bad luck.
Oh, and to make it car forum relevant, the cat owner was the Chairman of Aston Martin at the time and owned one of those 20 foot long Lagonda things.....

I'm not defending your neighbours, I don't condone harming cats, but we had nine cats coming into our garden, we also grew our own veg, this we stopped doing because cats st all over them, dug up seeds etc.
When we covered the veg patches with netting they st all over the lawn.
We spent money on various cat deterrents, none worked.
These weren't strays, we knew the cats involved, or at least a few of them, they were well looked after cats with litter trays.
We finally got a dog which solved the problem, no our young children can run around our garden without getting covered in cat st.
OP, I am not defending your neighbours, I wouldn't be happy in your shoes, but I'm pointing out there are two sides to every story.
Try again to talk to your neighbours, as this will only escalate , roaming cats can piss people off.

Neighbours cat was using the grass as a toilet (Large Tomcat) until I saw it I'd thought it was a dog there was so much of it!! was told it was territorial and after trying everything (chasing it off, sonic, water sprayer, expensive gel things) I took to giving it treats and being nice to it... It now goes elsewhere..

My mum feels much the same. She takes a lot of pride in her flowerbeds but it can be a constant battle keeping them cat5hit-free.t on a lawn?....rubbish.My neighbours cats are constantly leaving turds on my lawn and I've seen them doing it.

t, I used to like cats but hate the fkers now. OP - other than the smell of bleach I'm not sure what the problem is. Your cats don't defecate in their garden so they won't be affected by any toxic chemicals. No doubt once the guilty felines have found another location your neighbours will stop using Cat5hitAway or whatever brand it is.
Rest assured they haven't gone out of their way to source and use this without feeling strongly aggrieved.
