Allie Dryer,

FOR STARTERS, go talk to your neighbor and explain how much you enjoy the
birds and how much you enjoy feeding the birds in your yard.

Ask your neighbor to help you enjoy the birds by doing whatever to ensure
your opportunity to enjoy your feeder.

If it were me, I would not talk about whether the cats actually kill the
birds or drink from the birdbath or whether I found a bird dead or saw the
cats kill a bird.

I would just talk kindly and friendly and with understanding about your
opportunity to enjoy the birds at your feeder without the cats "scaring"
them away.  Then see what results you get.

People love their cats with great passion.  I am not a pet owner but have
had dogs and never owend a cat.  I am only thinking about the obvious.

Let's go birding......
