What are your cats doing that they got in trouble with the law? I have two cats and live in a small town but they are outside all day everyday. I live in a neighborhood. There are a lot of neighbors cats who are outdoors as well. When I see them I know where they live. It is not a big deal here I guess. I have had indoor/outdoor cats my whole life.
Regardless that is BS that he is making your responsible. My onion of crazy with the division of things keeps on giving also. I keep waiting for a horse to arrive tied up on my front lawn!
