A problem for the cat, maybe.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think said free ranging cat should exercise Darwinian decision-making, and stay their ass out of your yard, if there's a dog there it doesn't get along with. It's not your cat. It shouldn't have to cramp your style.

I discovered one new potential problem with the whole dog in the yard scenario
How is that a problem? The dog will scare the cat away and keep it from leaving presents in your yard.
I wish I had a way to keep this one local outdoor/feral cat from treating my mulched yard as one large litter box...

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Woot-fix! Tall-ish fence (assuming there's nothing in neighboring yards that would give the cat a launching pad to vault over it).

Oh, totally, though I would like to not be the neighbor who gets cats sent to the vet. Thing is kind of tubby too, so hopefully he would have the sense to stay away from anything it couldn't outrun.

The cats probably going insane because he sees your cats inside as it is. (Did I tell you about Oz puffing up on seeing construction people in the house next door. Territorial nutcase.) The dog and cat will work it out.

Not much of a problem, but I do need a dog that gets along with cats and won't go after them, so I have to hope neighbor's cat won't end up being too stupid/territorial to stay out of the yard.

And I do loathe the whole shell-game that goes on with the anti-marriage equality crowd. If a court requires it, it's "judicial activism"; if a legislature passes it, it's "against the will of the people", despite the fact that we live in a representative democracy.
Yes, and they firmly believe that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states -- unless the states do something they don't like, like gay marriage. Then, suddenly, it's time to give the evil federal government more power.

My brother's dog chased cats, so the neighborhood cats would come and sit about 1ft away from the end of his leash.
