I heard from a person a while back that one can't actually legally own a cat in the US, is this true?

Question

I don't remember who I heard this from but i remember that we were discussing liability of damage caused by pets or one pet killing another pet, and they told me that aperson couldn't legally own a cat in the United States because they are human indendent and thus a erson can't be sued for what a cat does and yeah if you have any info on this it would be greatly appreciated as well.

Answer 1

Of course they are legal to own. I haven't heard anything bad about cats other than some minor scratches, but people have been criminally prosecuted when their dogs killed people.

Answer 2

no...cats are,so sad to say,legal to have
