@Obelixx my cats loved the wisteria, plenty of hiding places to watch the world go by and the wildlife. They’re inventive, they’ll find other places.
I think I’m calming down a bit now. More cross with myself for not realising that that qualifies as pruning to some. The man has a huge back garden too. He no long has lopers or pruners at my house 😊
A colleague of mine was doing some landscaping at home and cut down a mature wisteria to a 1ft stump. When i say mature this thing was planted in the 1970's. He cut a notch in the remaining wood and yanked it out of the ground with an excavator and a webbed sling then threw it alongside his compost heap intending to dispose at some point. The following year it had shooted so much it was growing up and over his shed. Conveniently he'd just made a new arbor so he civilised the growth and replanted it. Two years later its now enormous again and you'd almost never know. They're tough as old boots and weed like in their ability to withstand some serious punishment.
