Napoleon free at last
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Council of State, the Netherlands' highest legal authority, has ruled that Napoleon the cat should be released from house arrest for three hours a day, AP reports from Wassenaar.
The legal troubles began after the black tomcat, weary of a special diet necessitated by weak kidneys, began sneaking into opulent local houses in search of snacks. A neighbour complained to the City Council of Napoleon's 'aggressive attitude' and the cat's owner, Harry Vennekens, was ordered to keep the cat inside. He appealed, won and announced 'Napoleon is a free cat'.
