I have a mating pair that live in a tree opposite.

They live there because my neighbour has a habit of putting her bin bag out on the balcony to remind her to take it away.

The magpies rip it to bits every time, and every time it happens, she shouts at her cat.

I'm not telling her. The magpies are cleverer than my neighbour

To be fair to the magpies, it was the cat that gave them the idea

I live in a building were one of my neighbours has 4 or 5 cats and has some mental problems and so at times will for no visible reason start shouting.

The cats couldn't care less.

I suspect that of all creatures, a domesticated cat is probably one the least likely to be stressed by it, at least if it's an usual thing.
