rob190364 2,594 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 If it's on a communal garden then it is on property that's partly owned by the owner of the cat. I would have thought he'll get a small fine for not keeping his dogs under control, and probably a few dirty looks off the neighbours for the next few years! It's not the end of the world though, most cat owners have cats knowing there's a fairly reasonable chance they'll either get run over or ragged by a dog at some point. I've seen loads of cats that stand up and face strange dogs, it's only a matter of time before they do that to one that just wades in. check it out cats have no rights in law and are only covered as property what do you mean only covered as property?

christian71 3,187 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi all. . A friend of mine has just had a horrible accident! He'd just finished taking his dogs for a walk, got out of the car, opened the boot to get the dogs and in no time they're playin tug of war with the neighbours cat!!! It happened on the front (open plan) communal garden. What are the legal implications??? Ps the cat is dead and yes he should of had tighter control of the dogs! He's offered to pay for the damage caused! Beer Roasted Cat 1 cat cut into roast 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup 1 cube of beef bouillon 1 clove of garlic 1 Fine Irish Stout, like Guinness Cover and soak cat roast in salt water for 24 hours. Drain water and then cover and soak in beer for 6 hours. Drain and place in crock pot with your cans of soup. Add a clove of garlic, and a cube of beef bouillon. If you start to slow cook your cat in the morning with your George Foreman Cooker (or it's ilk), you'll have finely cooked feline in time for supper. If a slow cooker is not available, a cat can be baked at 350 degrees for 2-3 hours in a conventional oven and still come out pretty good. Beer Roasted Cat is fantastic served with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and fresh, homemade egg rolls. When planning a full meal just remember- cat is a course best served hot! Cat may not be the most glamorous, or tastiest of game meats, but with a little thought and preparation, Baked Cat can make the belly of the persnicketiest diner glow with home baked goodness. Hope this helps 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Surely that only applies on private property though Paulus, dog owners are equally legally obliged to keep their dogs under control at all times.. Accidents happen, but I wouldn't like to hedge my bets that if it happened to me everything would be fine and dandy.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Whether its a cat or another dog, or a person for that matter. You as the owner of that dig is responsible for its actions. I don't suppose the fact it was a cat my dog killed even mattered. The way they see it, wasnt under control and that led to the dog acting in a dangerous manner. In my case the death of a cat. So in the eyes of the law I'm liable for its actions. Well that's the way I always seen it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

birddog 1,354 Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 my 3yr old granddaughter was heartbroken when she came to see 'her' baby blackbirds in their nest in grandads garden, she watched them daily since the eggs were laid, put out scraps for mum and dad only to find some poxy cat had felt like a late night supper, it's now time for the cat to pay the fiddler, it'll be on private land (where the dogs live), the cat will be trespassing and not under control Quote Link to post Share on other sites
