Invercargill's infamous cat lady is set to have her day in court.
Averil Gardiner, reported to have 27 cats, is charged with failing to adhere to an Invercargill City Council by-law requiring her to reduce her clowder to three.
She's pleaded not guilty to failing to reduce the number of animals and creating a nuisance under the Health Act 1956.
The trial will be in front of a judge alone.
