Who is at fault the dog or cat owner?




https://www.yahoo.com/news/pet-owner-slams-neighbor-over-204706364.html

His neighbors cat crawled into his home through the doggy door. His dog then attacked the cat, but the cat was ultimately fine. The neighbors insisted he cover the costs of the cats medical expenses. But he thinks its the neighbors fault for letting their cat enter his house.
Every now and then my neighbors cat would be sitting on top of the fence and my dog would bark at it, but the cat would run off, he wrote. Not really an issue. [Then] their cat came through MY doggy door. My dog was alerted within seconds and reacted way faster than I could ever. The cat did receive some damage, but I managed to save it from my dog. I then rushed it to the neighbors, and I drove them to the vet (they didnt have a car.) Their cat was okay, hurt, but okay. I brought them home and as I was saying my goodbyes and giving my condolences, they asked about medical expenses.
The Reddit poster has insurance for his dog, but couldnt afford the cats bills.
I told my neighbor this, but they told me Im at fault because it was my dog who attacked their cat, he said. I failed to see how it was my fault, as the animal was trespassing in my own home, and my dog was reacting because its territory was being infiltrated. They said some choice words but I ended up refusing to pay by saying, Im not paying for your cats medical bills, forget it, and I walked away. Other neighbors are now giving me dirty looks and I just dont feel welcomed here.
