Perhaps I was a little facetious in my first reply, so let me try again.
First, some questions to ensure you’re on safe ground.
a) You say you have “approved cats”. Do the scheme’s By-Laws allow pets? Do you have permission in writing for them? Is the number of your cats within any specified limit? If you have EC permission in writing, then there’s not much the Chairman acting alone can do.
b) Are your cats de-sexed, micro-chipped and registered with local Council (if required), in case he catches one and sends it to the pound.
c) Do take photos of your cats’ markings. It will prove him wrong if he takes photos of other roaming cats.
Once you’re on safe ground, why don’t you write him a letter, copying all EC members (you say they’re on your side), telling him you support his efforts to address the stray cat problem. Tell him:
d) He’s welcome to take photos on common property but not of your lot or any area of which you have exclusive use. Because he won’t get one of your cats, will he?
e) He’s welcome to set cat-traps (if it’s legal) on common property but not on your lot or any area of which you have exclusive use. Because he won’t catch one of your cats, will he?
