Rats and mice cause damage to electrical wiring on my farm., which is my place of business. Cats were brought in to solve this problem but aren't listed as working animals on the ATO website, which only includes dogs and horses.

Cats love work - they can watch someone working all day.


But as working animals ? - that would be a stretch.


We usually have a cat in the office - most clients like to see them.

Never claimed any deductions for them.
