Please don't quote me on this, but when I lived in Marbella, the police (not sure whether it was the local or guardia) had a department for animals, in the sense that if you suspected cruelty to animals you would report it to them.... like a Spanish RSPCA, but it was only something I heard in passing....

Probably worth checking out though..... the guy could be reported...:confused:

Have you spoken to the guy direct? What is his attitude towards the problem?

If you catch them 'on the job' then squirting water from a hose is quite effective and completely harmless.

Not sure who you'de complain to etc, but meanwhile half fill plastic 2 litre bottles with water, lay them on their sides and you'll notice the cats dissapear as for some reason they don't like it. I have just done this as cats were stinking our garden out. It has much improved now we have used the bottles.

A water pistol works a treat & will do no harm to them.
