ANGRY neighbors hit a pet lover who had her cats take over their street – turning it into a giant-stinking trash can.
The angry residents of Newcastle, Australia, claim the cats break into their homes and steal their food, complaining that the cat’s stench of urine and feces is overwhelming.

Neighbors said they had lost count of how many cats belonged to the owner, but said they constantly saw the animals roaming the streets and visiting their gardens.
A neighbor in Hunter Street told A Current Affair: “We live like this 24/7. It has to stop.”
Another concerned resident said: “The smell, go out the back and smell the drive … it’s just awful and she does not feed them.”
And the situation escalates at night when the cats wander the streets and wreak havoc in neighboring gardens.
The locals claim the pets leave feces over their outdoor furniture.
“It’s disgusting, the smell is always there … I prayed for rain because it would wash it away,” a neighbor said.
Other residents said the cats would enter the home if any doors or windows were left open.
Another added: “I know some of the neighbors had cats giving birth under their houses.”
According to reports, the frustrated neighbors have complained to Newcastle City Council about the ongoing issue.
But the council said it would not deal with the cat problem.
A post on their website said, “We will no longer handle these types of requests.”
Meanwhile, a pensioner was left furious after his neighbor installed a 6-foot-high fence between their gardens.
Peter Laver, 73, returned from a weekend away and found that neighbor Nicholas Williams had erected the structure.
And a man told how he was homeless because the council only offered him an apartment that did not allow pets after rowing with his neighbors.
Jeff Reeves and his three beloved dogs – Saxon, JC and Roxy – were thrown out on the street two months ago when he refused to leave them.
