To be fair, as you said, I informed the neighbor the day they moved in and I saw they had a pet cat wandering around our yard that Buddy was dangerous to cats. They subsequently kept their pet cat inside. Why they allowed a stray to take up residence in the open garage I don't know. I was not informed, and several times that cat was outside the door when I was about to let Buddy out, but I was able to hold him and warn the cat away. I guess the steel cable got fatigued as Buddy was taunted by that cat. Had I known, I would moved his run to the other side simply to let Buddy relax a bit.

Thank you for that suggestion. I had no luck to get the sheriff to give me law section or numbers. I have found one, describing the sheriff's job that does allow him to impound any animal "suspected" of being vicious, and then a "formal declaration as to the dangerousness" will be done. Not sure what that formal thing is, maybe the DA will tell me. In any case, there was sure nothing formal happened here.
