Fed up with a plague of feral cats in his neighborhood, Robert Senor, Democrat of Ward 8, wants to limit the number of cats per house in Kingston, the Freeman reports.
The alderman envisions a limit of between three and five cats, and his legislation will call for fines to be levied against people who have more than that, though perhaps not right away if other accommodations can be found for the excess cats.
Bonus points to Senor for using several pet-themed metaphors to justify the fines:
“We have to put teeth in this law, or we are barking up the wrong tree,” Senor said of including fines in the legislation.
