Or a shot of vinegar. Yes they have to get somewhat tough and then he goes to lots where people are who like him.
Lucky was shot by one neighbor with a BB Gun. I seen him out there. But other than that we got along. So I let it slide. he was about 75 y/o so eh a lil senile.
Also remember this is not a city or town. This is a mobile home park that ALLOWS cats and does not say they have to be in only that they must be watched and not become a nuisance. ie cats are allowed and if you arent cool with that get a piece of your own property. Not you but in general.
Cats are allowed when you sign the lease and NO they do not have to be kept in always.
But I hear ya. You had some special probs and your case is diff than just walking through the yard once a day. The homeowner should pay for damages in the case of your car. As should I if Buddy damaged cars.

Since you live in a place where it is allowed and it sounds like others do the same thing it is certainly a different type of a situation than where I live. Where I live it is a small rural town, but they are pretty strict about pet laws. Normally I wouldn't have a problem if someones dog or cat wondered through my yard occasionally, in my case the cat just seemed to love my house.
I guess what I am saying is that if you can you should try to keep an eye on him. While he may be doing nothing to really bother people there is also the chance that he is walking on someones car or shitting in their yard/flowers and they just aren't saying anything about it. Instead they are just stewing and getting madder and madder and one day he might just disappear.
Hopefully that never happens, but if it were me, I would try to keep an eye on him from time to time and see where he goes and I would even talk to the neighbors to make sure everything is cool. Better to be a little safe and proactive than sorry.
