Oh my God . They ' ve reached selfawareness . <| sep |> Yea but you ' re probably taking home way less money . It ' s really a dilemma I ' m going to have to face soon . <| sep |> Not a good one . <| sep |> That ' s a potential colab event dungeon right there . <| sep |> You mean with her bear hands <| sep |> Can I have the grey rat rods and the chainsaw for a key <| sep |> Isn ' t catholoicism and other major world religions a lot more decentralized and more open to interpretation than scientology ? <| sep |> More like looking on the bright side . <| sep |> Some initial thoughts Persevere with the police age is no excuse for criminal conduct . Under the Criminal Damage Act 1971 it is an offence to injure a cat . As cats are property , the very act of him shutting them in his house is deemed to be theft . I appreciate the police might not take an interest but you might even to couch your complaint in concern about his welfare shaving cats is unhinged behaviour . Speak to the RSPCA or regional equivalent if you live outside England they have investigative powers so may be able to help . A cat is technically your property but damage or , heavens forbid , worse caused to them is very restricted in terms of the compensation you would be able to pursue through the civil courts . That said , an officialenough sounding letter through his letterbox threatening legal action might put the fear into him . You should consider speaking to Citizens Advice as they can provide quite good holistic advice on neighbourhood disputes . Anyone else feel free to jump in this guy sounds like a dick and I feel terrible for your poor cats .
