Because "Balu" attacked the neighbors' cat in their garden, his owners were sued. This legal step could have far-reaching consequences for the four-legged friend. In addition to a "no trespassing" order, he is even threatened with complete abandonment.

The district court of Neulengbach in the district of St. Pölten in Lower Austria is dealing with a neighbor dispute with animal consequences. Two cats are at the center of a lawsuit. The allegation is that "Balu" (name changed by the editors) is an extremely aggressive fellow cat. A few weeks ago, he allegedly pounced on cat "Coco" (name also changed) on the neighbor's property and seriously injured her.
