Cats in garden

[pistol pete 0]

Could someone who may know, tell me what are the legalities regarding a cat entering your property and being attacked by one or more of your dogs? My neighbour has recently acquired a kitten,and as with all kittens it is exploring its surroundings.My worry is that if it fell into my garden whilst climbing on the fence,or was stalking my chickens and the dogs spotted it,i know what the outcome would be.I have spoken with the neighbour and explained that my dogs are not broken to cats,and that there isn't much chance of me rescuing the cat if the dogs got it first yet her answer is "oh cats are quicker than dogs,they wont catch it".Where do i stand,i dont think its fair that my dogs should be kept "locked up" when normally they are allowed to spend there day in the garden.Help!!

you have done all you can mate just let the dogs out and whatever happens happens! Me dad got took to court by our old nieghbours for our dogs killing there cat but the magistrate just laughed and said cats chase mice dogs chase cats its just nature! next case please!!!!
