My neighbour knocked on my door to tell me my cat damaged the windscreen wiper when on their car and that they have it on CCTV. They also said my cat previously scratched the paintwork as well but I'm not sure if they think that's on CCTV too.

They left before there was much of a discussion about it so I have no idea when this was supposed to have happened or if my cat did do any of this.

My questions:

1. If it was my cat that damaged the car, what liability do I have for it?

2. If it was my cat and now the neighbour's told me about it, would I be liable for future damage if the cat does it again and what's the best course of action to protect myself from any liability?

Thanks on advance, any advice would be much appreciated!
