Cat fouling can fall within statutory nuisance law.
If other people’s cats are fouling your garden repeatedly:
- Keep a simple log (dates, times, where, how often, impact on use of the garden).
- Gather evidence: short clips, photos, and notes of what you found and when.
- Report it as a statutory nuisance complaint and explicitly refer to deposits / accumulation affecting health or enjoyment of your home.
- Ask the council what steps they took to investigate (site visits, evidence review, assessment of health impacts).
If you get brushed off with “cats roam” or “civil matter”, point to the High Court’s message: the council must consider whether it’s a statutory nuisance on the facts, not reject the category outright.
Just throwing this out here to see if it bounces.
