I need a diplomatic soltuion to a little problem

Have you actually seen the cat doing this? In my area we have raccoons that pull this stunt. Dogs will, too. Everyone around here just deals with the problem by using trash cans bungeed shut.

Pouring moth balls and ammonia into the bag might give whatever critter is pulling the trick pause - at least for a while until you stop doing it.

Buy an enormous jug of sudsy ammonia at the Dollar Store. Pour some in/on the trash bags before leaving them at the curb. *Nothing* will screw with them.
