I'm only pointing this out as an FYI you might want to keep in the back of your head. I'm not implying anything other then use your noggin a bit.
Most states have CCW. If you show up all pissed off on someones doorstep and proceed to start swinging, they can legally gun you down where you stand call the cops to pick up your body and be back to the table before dinner cools down.

Now most reasonable people wouldnt just start shooting.....But then again most reasonable people wouldnt let their animal run the neighborhood then try to beat the ****** out of people when the animal that was running on other peoples property gets killed either.

I was eating dinner a couple of weeks ago and heard a lot of commotion outside in my back yard, kinda faint, but I knew something was going on... So anyhow I get out there and my dogs are attacking something in the far corner. I go back in to get a flashlight and come out and find it to be a cat. Needless to say it was not a pretty sight, with blood and fecal matter all over the thing. I put my dogs in the truck, the cat in a box and in the bed of truck, take the whole gang to the vet ER. My two check out fine, but the vet suggests we put the cat down. $200 bucks and two hours later I get home. No tags or info on the cat, so I just let them dispose of the animal carcass.

Fast forward to today, and the neighbor asks me if i had seen their cat. I asked what it looked like, with sure enough it was the cat that came into my backyard. I tell her what happened and gave the name of the vet who cared for the animal. She tells me I need to pay her $2000 since this was some special breed of cat. I tell her she is crazy to think that I am going to pay. She comes back later with the cops and and tells me she wants my two mutts put down since they are a dangerous pair and will probably kill people next. I tell the the above and show reciepts and the corner of the yard where it happened.

Thankfully I had called animal control about some cats that were marking the house and my truck a few months ago. They cought a couple of them and one had a collar with the owners name, and it turned out to be this neighbor, only helping my story. I tell them she pretty much doesn't have pets, just some animals she feeds, since they are outdoor animals and she just let's them roam. The cops go back to her house and find that she has ten cats, none of them registered, and one has a litter of 7. So they issue her a ticket for having too many cats, and another for not registering her animals. They tell me legally everything is most likely fine since it was in my back yard, I have registered my two, and tried to care for her animal. She says she is planning on suing me for pain and suffering since "Tammy" was her favorite cat and a loss of income since she could have bred her.

Cliff:
My dogs killed my neighbor's cat
Tried to take care of hurt cat, vet said put it down
Neighbor calls cops gets a ticket herself
Says she will sue me now for damages.

Update

I had a talk with the neighbor's "representative" because she couldn't speak. He tried at first to seem like a lawyer, refusing to identify himself other than her "legal representation". When I pressed him for his firm's name before I would speak at all, he finally fesses up that it is actually her husband's brother. Anyhow, he says the cat is a Himalayan Tabby and to replace would cost $2000 for the cat, plus another $300 for misc vet setup fees (like vacinations) and finnally, assuming they kept on pace with breeding her twice a year (which they claim they were) and a litter of 5 a time, the cat would still have 9 yrs of breed time = 90 kittens that would have been sold, meaning I should owe them $180,000. If I could not pay, then they would take me to court, or perhaps find some "middle ground". If not, then they would have no option but to call cops, get my dogs impounded, and try to sue me for my personal assets.

I told him he should call the cops, animal control, and my lawyer (who is actually an old friend from college) and gave him the number to her firm.

So I have never heard of anythign like this. Not to mention, their house looks like a dump, white trash to the "T", uncut lawn, old non-operable car on the driveway, dirty looking kids... If they were making 20k a year on this cat, I highly doubt they would live like this. Not to mention, I would sure as hell keep that cat indoors if I did. The Vet bill list the cat as a "feral" which i think means stray. I googled a himalayan, and it didn't look like the cats listed, the body coloring was similar, but did not have blue eyes and the head shape was like a normal tabby/cat, not the flat face and round head.

I hate people like this.

Cliff:
Neighor's husband's brother called trying to be a lawyer and "reason with me."
Told me I owe them $182,300 total to replace the cat and what it would have brought in over its life time.
Told them to go ahead and call the cops and my lawyer, who is really an old friend.
Cat didn't look anything like what the internet pics look like.

Countersue her for wasting your time, causing you mental anguish, and dont' forget the $200 vet bill.

your not 1 to really talk

 

[EyeMWing]

Why aren't you in court yet? And go absolutely BONKERS when it comes to that - make sure she tries to collect on the full $180k, which will push this out of small claims and into a real court. DO NOT request a jury, no matter how appealing the potential for humiliation. That could backfire, because there are a lot of tools like Proletariat out there. You'll find that the trial judge will EAT HER LIVER for wasting real court time on what is, at best, a small claims matter, and proceed to award you your $200.

 

[Adrenaline]

Your dogs attacked something in YOUR yard. They didnt go into her yard and kill the cat, that would be a different story.

Impersonating an attorney is fraud I think.

 

[Thegonagle]

Probably not in court yet because she's too lazy, and frankly, doesn't have her "S" together well enough to build any case whatsoever. Her "lawyer" bluff was already called in short order. Basically, she's out in the cold and she's starting to figure that out now.

EDIT:

And if it was my dogs that killed a neighbor's cat in my yard, I'd feel terrible. I'd absolutely offer to help them adopt a new kitten, and pay all the starting vet costs--including having the animal fixed. Yes, I'd feel terrible and absolutely obligated to help in any reasonable way possible--until they started pulling this kind of crap. B!+ches!

dude, even after one year of law school, i'm telling you man, they can NOT get you for those damages. hehehe, i hate people like that too.

unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. You have to take responsibility for your own pets and he should take care of his.

If you're cat is dumb enough to come into a yard with two dogs, then it is not my fault that it gets killed.

He shouldn't be held accountable for bad animal-ownership on the part of his neighbor.

I don't care, I'd ring the persons doorbell and proceed to beat the person. Like I said if I get arrested thats fine, at least I get the satisfaction of the beating.


Cats wander about, you shouldn't have ridiculous bloodthirsty dogs.

Dogs known to attack medium sized animals also are likely to attack small children.

And you really can't keep an eye out 24/7 for your animals.

then you really can't be surprised if something like this happens and have a sense of entitlement at the same time.

LoL - after three years of law school I'd tend to agree.

 

[Gunslinger08]

That's ridiculous. You have no legal or moral obligation to pay for that cat.

 

[dxkj]

Lol


10 kittens a litter? those are decent sized litters...

Genetics? Who is she breeding this cat to? If she is a himalayan depending on genetics of the father she wont be getting 100% that look like the mother.

I dont get it,.... if you buy her a new cat for $2000, then how is it lost money for 9 years? She will have the new cat for 9 years and it can make babies? lol wtf

That's what I thought.. if she gets a new cat, she doesn't suffer "future losses" because she can breed the new one. That $180K of future loss is total bullshit.

He's also probably the same kind of person that would pay for a robber's hospital bills as well as "emotional damages" should the guy twist an ankle running off with his tv or other valuable (in case he comes in with some bs about not having a tv or something).

This is a good way to get shot.

 

[Zebo]

I dare her to sue you then you countersue for medical and diminished property value because they keep thier place like junk yard. In fact I'd probably sue her first in superior court (she needs a real lawyer) for $150,000 minimum for making place look like a junk yard and her animal being at large.

QFT.
Proletariat, usually I tend to agree with your opinions... but I dare say you're talking out of your ass simple and plain this time.

 

[Zebo]

Proletariat are you on parole? Anyway I seriously doubt you're a homeowner in the first place so we have nothing to worry about from big bad Proletariat.

See my post above.

Seems there could be some truth to the saying "An armed society is a polite society".
I know damn well if someone I had never seen and didnt know showed up on my doorstep intent to do me bodily harm it would not end well for them.

And it has nothing to do with wanting a bigger e-penis and everything to do with not losing my life. I have no idea if the guy on the doorstep has a gun, a knife or 19 years of hand to hand combat training. And I aint takin no damn chances either, especially if he comes to my doorstep!

This doesnt sound too legit... I mean what a great way to commit murder... just call your victim up, and invite them over for tea, when they show up at the door, gun them down, call 911 and claim they tried to punch you in the head.

Or would you have to wait til they hit you a few times to prove they tried to punch you in the head, and THEN shoot them?

[Doboji]

Oh and I still havent seen what kind of dogs we're talking about here... if you have two snarlin pit bulls in the back yard... I say they should be put down...

You'd have to prove that in the situation, you felt your life threatened and there was no other way you could settle the situation without using lethal force.
