My neighbor claims that she is talking to her cat, “Blackie”, when she says things like, “Blackie, I’m going to kill you.” I have already told the police about this and there is nothing they can do. I also tried to get a protection order against her. However, the judge in the protection order hearing said that I did not have any evidence that my neighbor was actually talking to me, instead of my cat. Therefore, the protection order was denied.

And I’ve also pressed charges against my neighbor for harassment, which was also dropped due to a lack of evidence.

I was just wondering if there is anything else I can try to do.

Thanks,
Gwen
