skycat 6,173 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I'm fairly sure that if the cat comes into your garden (and you haven't enticed it to come in!) then the owner cannot sue you if your dog kills/eats it. Cats have and are a law unto themselves, and they are deemed no one's property once outside their own house/garden. I find that a hose pipe turned on the beggars full blast usually teaches them a lesson: they only come and sit on my aviary twice at the most and then learn to keep away.

Dawn B 212 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 If your dogs kill a Cat, YOU are responsible, you can be charged for having your dog dangerously out of control, and it does happen. yes I own Cats and I would be bloody livid if one of mine was hurt! Unfortunately (for dog owners) Cats are protected by law, unlike dogs, their owners are NOT responsible for their actions, as they are still classed as a wild animal. Have you spoken to the Cts owner? tell them the problem, at least they will be aware then. Dawn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borderterrier 0 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 The best i can come up with at the moment is the 1971 Animals Act, The keeper of the dog is not liable where the damage is due wholly to the fault of the person suffering it or if the livestock were killed or injured on land onto which they had strayed and either the dog belonged to the occupier or its presence was authorised by the occupier. Would imagine the same goes for cats. Just found some more light reading Cats and the law Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tallyho 181 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 ive just looked it up and cats are classed as semi wild animals, and the owners are not responsible for them, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NIGHTSHADOW 3 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I do think you will find that a cat can be classed as vermin as they dont have to a license like or dogs do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tallyho 181 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 im not sure if they are classed as vermin, even if they are a pain in the ass, if they were vermin surely that would mean you could legally hunt them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dawn B 212 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 No they are NOT classed as vermin. Look, best thing to do is to speak to the Cats owner and tell them its being a nuisance and your dogs are not happy bunnies, then if the Cat persists, well you know....!!! You did all you can. I have 5 Cats and I adore them, because I adore them I have inverted fencing around my garden so they cant get out, suggest that to them too, that way the Cat cant get out to annoy anyone else. Dawn.
