Have you ever tried to put a leash on a cat? You would have to be a lunatic to try. They go nuts. Cats are basically wild animals and anyone that owns one knows they dictate their terms.

cats can be trained to leashes just like dogs. it has been done plenty of times. some folks are just too lazy to try or make excuses. it took me three weeks to get my grown dog to adapt to a lease but it was done. if you start on them when they are young then you have no trouble. People felt the same way about their dogs when they had to lease them. Dogs were once wild animals also. Don't be crying later when soemthing does happen to the cat as there are mean folks out. I've seen the kids across the street from me shoot the strays around here.

Well it looks like folks will have to get more bb's for their BB guns..............I don't do it but there are plenty who said they would--- so folks in Clayton city watch your cats. people are getting fed up with them coming and messing in their yards, walking on their washed cars............Can't say you didn't know they were pestering people.........

It encourages people to keep their yards neat??? LOL!!!

Outside cats provide benefits to the town as well. They help keep the rodent population down. Also, it helps encourage people to keep their yards neat. People quit leaving bags of trash in their yards after they get tired of cleaning it up again and again after cats get into it every night.

If an animal cannot be contained or restrained - then perhaps it is not a suitable species for a pet. I for one am tired of my neighbors cat using my yard as a litter box.
