You need to get them used to eating and excreting on your property. Try moving the food from the front of the house (a foot or two at a time) to the back. You may also want to put out a big litterbox. (I have an under-the-bed plastic storage box that is the size of 3 normal litterboxes but I know someone who uses a child's plastic wading pool instead.) You can fill it with the pellets that are used for woodburning stoves. These are light, scoopable and biodegradable. (You can also just find an area of your back yard and pour bags of the wood stove pellets on the ground. That's how a friend dealt with neighbors' complaints about her ferals.)

I did get my husband to write down what the neighbor said to him yesterday -- but it is a good idea to write down everything and dates. I will do my best to muster up niceness when I want to scream and talk to the neighbor. The wife doesn't speak very good English so I don't think she'd be a good option. I really can't trap everybody and relocate...and an enclosure wouldn't work where I live now so I am hoping and praying for a positive resolution for all. Thank you again, will keep you posted.
