Question

My wife has allowed a neighbors cat into our house over the last 11 months. It has ben pampered by my 12 year old girl and fed from time to time. It has never been kept in overnight or whilst we are out. We are now accused of Stealing their cat but have never taken full possession - really just pampering and TLC. Is their a case to answer?

Answer

Hello,


Thank you for your question. I am happy to assist you.


I do not see a cause of action against you by the neighbor.


The neighbor has a duty to contain his cat on his property. He has failed to do so. His failure to contain his cat may be actionable if his cat were to cause damage. However, feeding a cat that comes on your property may not be actionable.

I hope that the information which I provided was helpful to you.


Best wishes for a successful outcome. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to submit them to me directly.


Thank you,

Thank you, I assume, by the same token, that no action can arise from us allowing this cat into our house
