stay calm cool and collected .

When the cat is outside it may be no ones responsibility.Your solution to keeping your indoor cat calm and your children relaxed and happy might be to use one of the "Cat Boundary Sprays" you can buy online or in a pet store.Try spraying it on the window ledge inside and outside (it needs to be reapplied every so often) and some cats can "Hold Their Breath" and cross it, but not sit their while they smell it.It's cat repellent that when it dries they don't like the smell, though you probably won't be able to smell it.Spraying it AT THE CAT doesn't work, it only wastes it, it needs to be sprayed on an area you want them to avoid and then it needs to dry (it's not bug spray, it's a stink that cats want to avoid).Also here is a link to The Feliway Cat Comfort plug in diffuser, it helps keep indoor cats calm and happy (its a love phermone that only cats can smell) https://www.feliway.com/us/Products/FELIWAY-CLASSIC-DiffuserGood Luck!

It has calmed down a bit now that most has been bought up.

You must stay calm and make them look like the bad guy. 

Gotta move the chicken coop and find a way to move my compost pile too] We are looking for a home within the same block or so that son and I can purchase together and husband and I will be purchasing another when things calm down.

If you would not be calm (to an extent), I would consider some kind of investment hedge that your committing to.

Me being the awesome calm dude, say, sure feel free to call them, but please give me your address to remove you from my list. 

I believe we have just entered the calm before the storm , there is still a trial , actually there are going to be 6 trials .

My wife, always the calm collected one said hey at least we still get the house.

I would advise your friend approach this in a clear, calm, and polite manner.
