I've said this once, I'll say it 1,000 times: people need to be responsible for their cats! If you are letting your cat run around unsurpervised, you cant sue someone else when it gets injured or killed! You are 10,000% at fault!

[@traceyaz125]

Agreed. I don’t know why it’s ok for cats to roam. They should be under the same restrictions as dogs.

[@kellll3420]

Totally! I live in an area with lots of wildlife and my cat is not allowed outside, even during the day. He meows so sadly at the door because he wants to “play” with the birds and lizards and everyday I explain why he can’t “there are things out there that want to eat you for a snack” and then I distract him with treats or a toy and repeat at least 5x a day. I feel badly for keeping him cooped up but it is a life saving measure.

The judge said there was “nothing you can do to keep cats from jumping in other people’s yard”. Yea, there is…it’s called keeping your cat indoors. I’ve had cats, and we currently have a cat. They have all been indoor cats, and before we moved here, they traveled all over with us, including to Europe. Once, when our current cat was a kitten, she got out of the house and ran into the woods. We were worried about her day and night until we finally got her back, so I cannot even IMAGINE having to worry all the time whether they’re being killed by a coyote, a dog, a car, or even a person.

I'm a cat lover and owner, but would never allow my cat outside - not just because we had a cat live much longer after not staying outside, but also because there are dogs, cars, and the like out there, and their teeth and claws can only protect against so much! To those who let their cats out and/or own outdoor cats, DO NOT DECLAW THEM! First, it's painful for the cat, but it's also their FORM OF DEFENSE. If they are being chased by a predator or even a dog, they can climb trees and wait for the threat to pass. This is also how they hunt and attack prey! If you declaw them, they'd better be an indoor cat only - but also just raise it to not claw your furniture, etc. Also, give them a collar to not only show who they belong to, but also a flea collar to protect them.

If the cat is roaming around, it likely lost the collar. Cats need breakaway collars for safety, so you can't blame them for disposing of the cat if it didn't have a collar. I am a cat lady, and I know better than to try to blame the defendants and their dog. Do better as pet owners and keep them inside. If not killed by a dog, it'll be a coyote or a car.
