the owners of the cat can maybe sue him for trying to catch it.

He can't sue because no one told him to go after the cat in the first place. So in a way his not able to sue anyone for anything for his own doings. Maybe next time he'll simple walk to the cat and push it away with his hand instead of running after it.

Nope. It was his choice to try to catch the cat. If the cat was that big of an issue-problem he should have called either animal control or the police.
Plus, the cat doesn't make a good witness and the owners of the cat will simply deny their cat was out of the house.

That's pathetic. He can't sue the owners of the Cat, but he can sue you because it happened on your property. However that wouldn't be the smartest thing to do. If he's a man, he'll walk it off and move on in life.

No, but he could sue the owner of the house.
That would be a pretty lame thing to do though.
Tell him to try taking responsibility for his own actions. Although, sounds like for him that is going to be a bitter pill to swallow.

No.
If the cat jumped at him and clawed or bit, yes. But it was his choice to chase an animal that wasn't attacking so he can't blame anyone but himself.
It ranks right up there with throwing rocks at squirrels and breaking a house window by accident, or running after birds and taking a tumble into the street. We all have to be responsible for our own actions, it was his choice to dodge and chase.

Unbeliveable question!
What a sad world we live in where everything seems to come down to someone sueing someone else for something!
In the country I live in, they haven't even heard of litigation, no-one thinks about sueing anyone for anything and...
.....accidents happen.
Compensation Culture. One of the many reasons I left the UK!!!
Sorry for 'ranting' but this question made me mad!

I would have to say no. Driveway was free of any obstacles which could potential hurt someone. Your friend also used his/her own Judgment in chasing after the cat.

it was his choice to try catching the cat. i highly doubt you can sue the owner of the cat. no wonder our court system is the way it is. its about time we stop with the frivolous lawsuit BS, just to try to get a fast buck.

I doubt he can sue the cat owner, but he might be able to sue YOU or whoever owns your house.
