MURRAY, Utah -- A Utah woman was shocked when she received misdemeanor charges for allowing her cat to lay on her own front lawn, according to
When Kate Anderson was first approached by animal control, she thought something terrible had happened to their cat. Then, the officer gave her a citation, carrying the weight of two misdemeanor charges, for letting her cat law on their own lawn.
In the Anderson household, Milo is treated like family.
“He’s got a cat door, so he just comes and goes and is a cat,” Anderson said.
However, they never expected their furry feline would be the reason they were slapped with misdemeanor charges.
“There he is, back at the scene of the crime,” Anderson laughed as her cat came near her and laid on the lawn.
On Monday, Kate said Milo had let himself outside and was laying on their front lawn – someone then took a picture of Milo and reported it.
“I just got a ticket for my cat being outside, in my yard,” Anderson said in disbelief.
An animal control employee received the report and made a house call to Kate’s Murray home. They then wrote her a citation.
“This is a cat who is neutered and micro-chipped and vaccinated, and is not a menace to society,” Anderson said.
