There is a cat over the road from us, kept in a rabbit hutch. When their garage door is open, and we are on our way out, the husband has to physically restrain me from charging over. But it is a local family who may not understand the mad brit telling them to let the cat out.

Tips on how to approach them?

Maybe all the cats are hanging around our house, there are 7 at least that hang around the dumpster over the road, it's like an episode of Topcat.
