You think that will make a hill of beans with Mr. know it all. Not hardly. He'll still put you on the spin cycle in the heavy load mode.. :jester:
How do you know it was always on his property? It was not under his direct or indirect control, that is for sure. As was stated in the beginning if it is not on the property it is in violation of the law as you have quoted. I would like to see a cat trained to voice command. I have never seen one, myself. Restraint means an animal is under restraint if he is controlled by means of a chain, leash or other like device; is sufficiently near the owner or handler to be under his direct control and is obedient to that person's commands; is on or within a vehicle being driven or parked; or, is within a secure enclosure.
We had one of them fancy poodle dogs with the clean curls and pretty hair-do get loose in the trailer park a couple saturdays ago. We was all like "what the heck is that?" He took quick notice of our dogs and must have realized that the leash laws are more "relaxed" in less desirable areas and he run off. Musta come from the brick house neighborhood down the street.
I don't have time to get Wayned today. In this particular situation, the dog was roaming the neighbohood and his cat was on HIS property. I also doubt the OP appreciates your "almostalawyer" skit on his thread where he is concerned about a possibly vicious dog roaming his neighborhood or any dog roaming for that matter. Artis is NOT on trial here. And if he calls animal control, they won't bother questioning either. They will load that dog up and take it away if they cannot find the owners.
The problem was the references were to the associated fact that the neighbors would not appreciate the cat roaming loose either. You must have missed those portions of the posts in your rush to conclusion. And ignoring any cat roaming? There is none on trial here as this is not the proper venue for a trial, but I will agree it has not stopped some here from jumping to such a conclusion. How about if his neighbors call animal control about the cat? You know the part which was mentioned and to which my posts were in response?
ASSuming again I see... and how the hell you know the cat left the property again ASSumption on your part NO FACTS... maybe there is a invisible fence there Wayne, I bet your smartness didn't think about that did you. Let it rip Mr. Maytag
Mr. King of Facts here lets not walk on the road to hypocrisy here. Your colors are shining thru bright and clear I might add.
There is an ad at BJs --someone lost their Rotty Maybe you could call them--I did not think to get the number
I never thought I'd see the day when Wayne tried to prosecute a cat (and one who was not even the offender!) I told you you always side with the criminals, W. :jester:
No, I was picking up on the statement concerning the neighbors feelin gthe same way about the cat if it was outside roaming around as indicated in the post. No, we have an invisible fence for our dogs. I would like to see how the cats are trained to that fence along with the trainign for verbal commands. Do you have anything on that issue to share?
<sigh> So another poster in her annoyance with a particular situation going on in her life made a quip about roaming cats.... Are you assuming she was referring to Artis specifically, or just venting in general? Nowhere did Artis mention in his post that his cat was out eating squirrels. He said the cat flew from HIS front yard to HIS front porch. THAT is having his cat under his control by JCAC standards.
Ok, where would there be hypocrisy in my post? Maybe you should read the whole thread for context, since my comments were related to the allowance of cats to roam is also a violation of the law. Is that not the case?
Yes, I pointed out that statement just before the Peanut Gallery tried to weigh in to prove me wrong. Not according to the regulation you quoted it is not. The cat would have to obey verbal commands and would have probably had to be in sight of the owner to meet that criteria. The cat was not in sight prior to it jumping the bush from behind the owner. I would like to see a precedent stating an animal which is out of sight of its owner and unrestrained is in the control of that owner.
They do make invisible fences with collars for cats, and I know someone who uses it with their 2 cats. They say it works great. Just a side note.
Really? That would be intersting to see the training process. Cats always seem a little more independent than other pets.
