I'd talk to the neighbors but one does wonder why the cats were tearing up 
the screens.  Most meandering cats aren't going for unknown screens.  Home 
screens, yes, but not usually the neighbors.  And, I'd have advised the 
person to get a spray bottle and zap the little buggers with some water with 
a little (very little) ammonia in it.  Zap once usually works.

Neighbors from hell, well disappearing goes without saying.  And if that 
isn't the cure, then I'd make the cats disappear too <g>
