Life is so much simpler with easygoing neighbours, but not all of us are lucky with the people we live next door to.<\/p>\n
Mumsnet user\u00a0KindleAndCake took to the parenting forum to vent about a very strange argument she had with her neighbour.<\/p>\n
Asking her fellow parents “am I being unreasonable”, KindleAndCake explained that she has a dog who “only ever barks at cats, never at other dogs or people”.<\/p>\n
New neighbours just moved in and they happen to have cats, which they keep on leads against her fence.<\/p>\n
The disgruntled poster claimed that whenever she lets her dog out and he sees them through the fence, he barks at them – so she brings them in.<\/p>\n

Plus, she brings him inside whenever he does this.<\/p>\n The cat-loving neighbour retorted that her\u00a0cat “doesn’t make any noise”.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

He doesn’t bark.”<\/p>\n Matters escalated and the neighbour reportedly threatened to call the police on her.<\/p>\n She concluded: “Am I really being unreasonable? I don’t know what else I can do?” She later added: “I thought about covering the fence, but they also climb the fence (long leads) and look down at my dog. They taunt him.”<\/p>\n The Mumsnet post was flooded with people empathising for her situation. One user commented: “YANBU (You are not being\u00a0 unreasonable), neighbour is a daft b******. Who puts their cat outside on a lead? What a tool.”<\/p>\n Another agreed: “It’s a brief noise and you do something about it to stop it. barking dogs are annoying but a fact of life living with neighbours as long as it\u2019s not excessive.”<\/p>\n One user mused: “‘My cat doesn’t make any noise’. ‘Cats don’t bark’ -one of the best things I’ve ever read on here.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/130\/590x\/secondary\/dog-barking-4942453.jpg?r=1693832270800\")
