BUll****.

Nope (I hope you weren't depending on that).


There are no circumstances in UK law where that is possible.

Wrong again ...

No evidence for that though, just your mistaken belief

There is plenty of evidence out there in the form of 'Laws'. Look them
up and learn something for a change.


cats are free agents.

Till you take one and dump it in the woods somewhere ... then all of a
sudden they are someone's property?

Cats are free agents.

Some can be.

They roam at will unless locked in

Nope. Some won't roam (outside their own property) even if they could.

and
there are no legal consequences for the 'owner'.

You are an idiot.

They simply
take up residence where food is provided but will quite
happily take up residence elsewhere if the food is 'better'.

Quite possibly but completely irrelevant to the duty of care and
responsibility a cat owner has under *Law*.

This is particularly the case when a cat owner is aware that their car
roams and can be aggressive (towards other animals or people) or is
likely to cause damage to other peoples property.
