Ok, so, many of you know, some don't, that my wife and I split up and got divorced last year. She left in Oct 08 and we were divorced in March of 09.

We remained friends and in fact, began dating over fall and decided it was a mistake to get divorced. I will leave out all the personal details, but as they say, 55% of marriages don't last, well, our divorce didn't last. So, she moved back in a few weeks ago and things are going great. We won't get re-married for a while (in our eyes, we are married in God's eyes, just not the state of AZ) and that's good enough for us.

SO- ON TO THE PROBLEM

While Laura was living on her own, she got a cat and I got a dog. Morgan (my Beagle/Boxer mix is just over 2 years old and perfect in every way. Her cat is a black and white named Precious (after her precious moments collection)

We weren't sure how the dog and cat would acclimate but they did just great. best of friends now even though Morgan wants to play more than Precious and when that happens she gives him a friendly swipe and he goes and lays down.

THE PROBLEM IS: Our neighbors have a cat they adopted from stray about a year ago. this cat is EVIL MEAN AND AWEFUL!!!. I swear it is the anti-Christ cat from He*&. About every other night, the cat comes out (they have a dog door and can't keep it in) and comes in my yard, I have low windows and the cat gets up to my window and Precious sees it and goes ape-S&$#. That in turn gets Morgan going and they end up going to scraps for a bit, when I am home alone, I can't get up to break it up and it's a mess. Neither of them get hurt and they quickly make up.

So, how do I get rid of the cat from HE#$? I have talked with the neighbors and they say "we lock the dog door during the day, but at night our dog's need to come and go" and seem not too sympathetic to my cause. It happened again just now. I get along with my neighbors really well but can't take this much more.


Sorry it was so long. I tried to keep it short.
