to hurt his ears. I would like to just go to the window and use the
whistle.

Neighbor is not a very nice person and I don't want to confront him.
I will be moving in a couple of months so I could stand the barking
but would rather not.

Will this hurt my kitty in any way?
Cats can hear dog whistle also, but may be sensitive on a different pitch. Even not all dogs are sensitive on the same pitch. There is sound frequency they hate the most but it differs from dog to dog. The best results in stopping them barking is to use multifunctional dog whistle which has sixteen selectable sound frequencies. You can find it at: http://schweizer-dog-whistle.azpromo.hr/
With a little experiment you can find the right frequency for your neighbor's dog. It is very small chance that your cat will be sensitive on this pitch too.
And, if you don't blow the whistle right in your cat's face with your full power, you can't hurt your kitty.
