And than when it is your business, what would you do?
Edit: And I'm sorry your daughter had this traumatic experience btw.
My daughter's cat used to love going outside, so she used to take him on strolls around our large, fenced backyard on a leash. He passed away last July and she can't stop wondering if that's how he picked up the disease that took his life, as it is pretty rare in indoor-only cats. I used to feed birds in that yard and a couple of neighborhood cats used to hop the fence to kill birds, leaving their corpses at the bases of the birdpoles with crushed skulls, and shit in our yard. So it's plausible. Whenever she decides she's ready for another cat, I don't think she's gonna do that anymore.
I can only speak for my own experiences in the US but I think it's really wrong to let cats roam here. It's also generally against doctors' advice here. I have seen far more dead cats in roads than I ever cared to. And it's not cool to let an invasive predator roam around your neighbors' yards. Never will be. Nobody should have to tolerate a neighbor's pet on their property messing up the garden, pooping, and killing local wildlife. If you can keep it in your yard then it's your business, but the minute it hops the fence into my yard it's my business too.
