Do they have collars? You could contact the owners. Say "you might want to watch your cats around my property because I have dogs in the backyard who are not cat-safe." You could even open with something like "is your kitty lost? I found him in my yard!"

Unfortunately though belladonna is right that if you complain about the poop or the bird-harassing or anything else they will probably not take it well. :/ My parents bought a house recently (haven't moved yet) and have two greyhounds, which are probably among the least small-animal-safe dogs you can find, and some of the new neighbors complained because they have outdoor cats. But the greys are never, EVER, EVER outside the house without either a) a fence or b) a leash, for their own safety more than anything else, and if a cat came onto their property, how can they be responsible for that? Dog is staying in dog's own yard; cat is not. It's sticky because I can understand wanting to keep things the way they are, but letting a cat (especially one with a poor survival instinct) wander outside carries risks, including that dangers not previously present might appear (such as someone moving in with dogs). I can see both sides because my ex's family has (had? I don't know, haven't seen them in ages) two indoor/outdoor cats who were wonderful and usually stuck around the house (also neutered, fully vetted, still had claws, etc.) - but some cats do like to wander and range far away.

/long comment is long.

(But seriously any animal that POOPS IN SOMEONE ELSE'S YARD, if the owner won't take responsibility and clean it up, they're being a diiiiick.)

On the plus side the poop doesn't stay for long when the dog finds it...(shudders)

I know who owns the kittens I'm terrified of the dog getting - she's already roughed up one and I explained. Seems they've got another one? Or always did but now it is checking out the yard and I'm trying to persuade it that this yard is scary STAY OUT. It's a teen abs lives with a small dog so not much brains.

Front yard poop and bird cats don't officially have an owner - they are ferals the old lady across the road feeds. I'm thinking I might buy some plants cats don't like and plant them along the fence line.

Forgot to mention - in my front yard? Got some plants poisonous to pets. That's why they're in the front yard - so my guys don't get them. Can't stop roaming cats when I'm at work or asleep!

I think all the cats are moving in cause they've reLised the previous owner and her old tom cat are gone - but are unaware of the large quiet dog with high prey drive!

I'll feel sad if she does get one of them but I won't take responsibility. My pets stay to my land :/ cause consequences happen otherwise.

Also we live 15 metres from a highway.

ah, if it's feral cats...there's not much you can do. Other than see if you have a catch-and-release spay/neuter program in your area.
