What a shame that the soft do-gooders have taken over the country.

If that continues, it is quite possible that we shall follow the Americans (as we have done in so many other ways) in being allowed to use firearms in self-defence - only in our own homes.
I'd personally support that.

Ah, but I meant was, the neighbours cat already lives inside the fences so can use the tunnel freely if it wants.
Other cats from outside won't be able to get over the exterior fence without negotiating the wire, so can't use the tunnel - which it seems was Swim's intention.

Re: Neighbours.
Using barbed/razor wire and broken glass in order to stop people getting into your home is not advisable. You are making yourself liable to civil action, if by doing this someone is injured, as you owe a duty of care to ensure that visitors to your property are reasonably safe. Odd as it may seem, you also owe a duty of care to trespassers.The use of such a preventative measure could also be seen as being detrimental to the neighbourhood.
