Waaaaaaah! Hopefully that cat learns his lesson and stays off your property. I love how people get all "soft" when it comes to domestic animals. If it had been a oppossum or a raccoon,it be stuck in the cage til animal control came out to get it.

Right to live? I am no tree huggin hippie. It is not the cat's fault the owner left him/her out after being warned and told by OP. He was nice enough to use a live trap. No need to torture an animal over it. As for the owners rights? He has the right to pay for the repairs now that there is proof his cat destroyed his house. He is the one who should know better not the cat.

That thing cost you over $500, delaying and AWESOME PROJECT, wasting your electric or gas bill and making you cold! You just proved the owner did nothing to prevent it from happening again! I am very against killing domesticated animals that wonder onto your land occasionally because you can, but this is a whole different story. I would give your neighbor a break by letting him pay you over time later after he got his vehicle back together if I could afford it, and depending on how nice of a person he was. I support anything you do to that cat after catching it and no one here or anywhere should be able to say or do anything about your actions to that mischievous animal.

True but it would still be alive. animal control would relocate it. I only believe in killing for two things. My life is in danger or I need food. All other reasons seem unecessary whether it is domestic or wild.

I never said kill the cat...He did the humane thing by trapping the animal and delivering it to the owner as he promised. The owner should pay/and help to replace the damaged ducting(time is money after all)

I don't feel the cat was tortured in anyway. Everyone keeps saying it's not the cats fault, what about me? Is it my fault my neighbor is an ass.

I hardly think one night in the rain constitutes abuse. These cats are LOCKED out of their house at all times. This includes the past few weeks when we have seen temps in the single digits.

I assume that's why they are burrowing under my house and destroying MY property.

The next time it happens, and I believe there will be a next time, you damn well better believe I won't be so kind.

That is why I say it is not the cat's fault. You would do the same thing if you were left outside in ****ty weather. You would go looking for a warm place to sleep. Don't get me wrong. This needs to be dealt with. I just think it need to be played out with the owner not the cat.

Trap the cat again the way you did and this time don't give it back. Take it to the shelter. Better yet call animal control and they will take it to the shelter and fine the owner.

I have a friend who does this for a living. Not a fun job. He gets to deal with a lot of pissed off people. If you go through someone like him though then you have recourse if the owner will not pay for the damage. There will be a record of the event and you will have more pressure to apply if you need.
