anti climb paint

Hi can any one help me please ?
I have a neighbour who really hates my moggies and a while ago my neighbour put some anti cat spikes on top of her fence to deter my cats walking on her fence,
I then at some cost to me erected my own fence adjacent to hers to solve the problem.
She has now covered her fence with anti climb paint on the top my cats use her fence to get out of my garden.
This fence is only 5 1/2 foot in places .
My cats were covered in the stuff this morning ! and they got it all over , I tried to wash them as best I could but it dosn't solve the problem because the anti climb paint lasts years !! so i'm expecting more of the same !
Her house is council owned can I do anything about this?
thanks caron

keep your cats in, or provide them an alternative way of getting in and out

Throw paint at her windows. Then write the word "****!" on her car in antifreeze.

Could try contacting the Housing Dept of the Council and ask them whether she's allowed to put this paint on their fence.

We have 12 cats living in just 3 houses very near ours,the cats do all there toileting in my garden and i have spent hundreds of pounds trying to deter them,i have been at my wits end.Why should other people clean up after your cats,its not fair and if this is why your neighbour is going to such measures then i support her 100%,i will probably try this myself,thanks for the tip.

Think bednobs needs to understand what cats are like.

I think the best thing to do would be explain to your jobsworth neighbours the mess your cats had got into as a result of the anti climb paint. Explain about possible knock on effects like carpets ruined etc.

If this gets you nowhere you will need to stop your cats climbing the fence where the anti climb paint has been put.

I understand about the cats toileting and thats why I provide a litter tray for them !
I can't train the cats not to climb the fence it's not feasable.
Cat's have the protection of the right to roam.
My moggies have been nutered so it's not that it is that she just does not want them walking on her fence !
Thats the top and bottom of it,
Well i'll have to wait for the council to contact me.
thanks for answers though !!!!!!

Hi caron, I too am plagued with cats, as a non cat lover , i prefer birds in my garden I too will go any lengths to deter any moggies coming in to my garden, I have tried them all , carpet grippers on the top of all the fences deter all but the most determined cat , it doesn't hurt them, it is just uncomfortable for them to walk on , if all else fails a good soaking wih the hosepipe does the trick ....well it makes me feel better anyway .....
