For the same reason you wouldn't win against the State of Kentucky for the wildlife that is pooping in your yard and snoozing on your lounge chairs.Why will I not win?

Cats are allowed to roam free...there isn't a "leash law". If you can prove that they (cats) damaged your property and have video of them doing so...sue the neighbor. IMPO people should control their pets...Whatever the law is.Well, that's an interesting opinion. So owners are not accountable for their pets in this case because the pets are considered the same as wildlife under the law? I'd be interested to hear from other legal experts if they agree. Could someone else please weigh in?
Thanks!
Thank you, Bambi.Cats are allowed to roam free...there isn't a "leash law". If you can prove that they (cats) damaged your property and have video of them doing so...sue the neighbor. IMPO people should control their pets...Whatever the law is.
I think that your notion that your outdoor furniture needs professional cleaning, due to cats sleeping on it, is a bit silly.Thank you, Bambi.
Are there any other opinions on the merits of this case?
1) Unless your particular municipality has specific laws restricting cats outdoors, there is no code violation.Thank you, Bambi.

If your city/county does not have an animal ordinance that regulates cats, you can look to your state's private nuisance law. Here is a link: http://www.lrc.ky.gov/statutes/statute.aspx?id=17829..

Cats do not mark their territory with poop. Male cats mark their territory with spray, and females don't mark at all. Yes, even with hard clay cats will do their best to dig a hole and then bury it.When you say that cats always bury their poop, are you referring to litter boxes or gardens, with soft ground? What about rock hard ground, with dirt heavy with clay? Cats also often won't bury their messes if they are marking their territory.
I don't feel it is reasonable that I should have to build a fence around my property to keep out the neighbors' cats.
Female cats will "spray" when they are in heat...Kinda "Hey Big Boy! Here I am!! Come up and visit me sometime..."Cats do not mark their territory with poop.

I just need to comment on this. On Sunday afternoon, I picked up cat poop from the top of three spots on my lawn...on top of the thick grass. It's simply not a universal that they will bury their poop - it all depends on where they poop. For example, I've seen cats poop on concrete. Obviously, it's not buried.Yes, even with hard clay cats will do their best to dig a hole and then bury it.
We have had cats that have pooped in house plants before, despite litter boxes available for their use - and there has not always been enough dirt to cover the poop.I just need to comment on this.

Ah but you see, a house plant is recognized as a litter box by most cats...LOL...even if there is not quite enough dirt to completely bury the poop. Any one who has had both cats and larger houseplants can relate to that.We have had cats that have pooped in house plants before, despite litter boxes available for their use - and there has not always been enough dirt to cover the poop.
It really depends on the cat. Some are "tidier" than others.
I've seen them go on the roof's of houses...Ah but you see, a house plant is recognized as a litter box by most cats...LOL...even if there is not quite enough dirt to completely bury the poop. Any one who has had both cats and larger houseplants can relate to that.
I have never seen a cat use someplace where they couldn't at least try to bury it...like concrete.
