A judge dismissed charges on Monday against a 14-year-old boy accused of meowing whenever he saw his 78-year-old neighbor.

Police had charged Michael Loughner with misdemeanor harassment this summer.

The boy's family got rid of its cat after Alexandria Carasia complained it was using her flower garden as a litter box.

Carasia claimed the boy would make meowing sounds every time he saw her.

The boy says he only meowed at her twice.
