the concept of "my [front] yard" is a bit loose; the porch actually overhangs the front of the parcel onto Town property (see entry for 3 June (http://www.pacerfarm.org/~15_the_circle/2006/06/03)).
the grassy area behind the trespassers visitors is my street, such as it is (it's not on any published or online maps, though, so I am not in the habit of calling taxicabs or sending out for pizza) and is marked "walk way only"; vehicular access is to the rear of the cottage via a disconnected part of Pine Avenue which for convenience we refer to as if it were part of Grove Road.
the dogs were in compliance with Town and County leash ordinances so I really don't have any legitimate complaint, it's just that by custom the Circle is feline territory, not canine.
a cat cam is easy to set up and operate; just get a junky USB webcam (a used one would be even cheaper on eBay) and hook it up to a computer.
the best webcam software around is a $10 shareware app called conquer cam, available from www.conquercam.com (http://www.conquercam.com).
we actually have four of them running in the Grove, three on the Circle and another a few blocks away.
for a combined page featuring all of them see www.pacerfarm.org/gsn.htm (http://www.pacerfarm.org/gsn.htm).
the one accommodation I made for it is that during last year's rebuilding of the front wall I had the carpenters construct a small window for it looking onto the porch at cat height, next to their door.
