cat's don't have owners they have staff .
Cat owners are generally not
responsible for the ‘normal’ behaviour
of cats because the law accepts that
cats tend to wander into other
properties and have instincts which,
for example, lead them to prey on
small birds. So cat owners should be
reassured that the simple fact of their
cat trespassing onto a neighbour’s
land would not make them responsible
if, for example, the cat kills a pigeon or
garden bird, urinates on plants or
flowers, or defecates in a neighbour’s
soil. These would be ‘normal’ cat
behaviours that would be expected
and, while some neighbours may have
strong feelings about the presence of
a cat in their garden, the law of
trespass and the general civil law
would make it unlikely that a claim
against a cat owner could be made for
these everyday occurrences.
