The following excerpt is from Nahrstedt v. Lakeside Village Condominium Assn., 11 Cal.Rptr.2d 299, 15 Cal.App.4th 315 (Cal. App. 1992):
Mere possession of cats does not create a nuisance per se. (People v. Cooper (1944) 64 Cal.App.2d Supp. 946, 949, 149 P.2d 86.) But it is not necessary, for a restriction to be reasonable, for it to prohibit only use rising to the level of a nuisance; a reasonable restriction can prohibit use falling far short of a nuisance.
