In Switzerland, a pensioner appeared in court for feeding a neighbor's cat (2 photos)

The prosecutor's office demanded a fine, but the pensioner did not agree.





In Zurich, a 68-year-old pensioner ended up in the dock because she had been giving food to her neighbor's cat for a long time.

The pensioner fed her neighbor's cat, Leo, letting him into her home, and even installed a special door so that he could come in on his own.

The systematic feeding of the neighbor's cat continued for 10 months, despite the fact that Leo's owners asked the woman to stop several times.

Eventually, Leo stopped returning home, and his owners accused the pensioner of illegal appropriation.

The Zurich prosecutor's office demanded that the accused be fined 3,600 Swiss francs ($4,300) and an additional penalty of 800 francs. However, the pensioner did not agree with this decision, and the case was referred to court.

In Switzerland, pets are considered personal property, so systematic feeding of other people's animals is punishable by law.
