Leslie Roberts: Well many cat owners think their cats are
perfect. But for some, they're a nuisance. And that's why the
government is playing with the idea of regulating the felines.
Neha Bhupal has more now on how dog owners want to keep a tight
leash on cats in the city.
Neha Bhupal: Cats. They seem to always have free run of a
place. Walking down store aisles like they're cat walks. Roaming
into neighbours' yards to do their business. Dog owners have to
use a leash, have a license, poop and scoop. There are plenty of
doggy demands. It's just not fair.
A Dog Owner: Cats have no respect for you. You can't
legislate a cat because they're not legislatable. It's just their
personality. They're cats.
NB: Cat owners say it's not a perfect world. Besides,
felines are free spirits.
A Cat Owner: It's not that you want them to go on your
neighbours' properties, but they do, and they like to prowl around
at night. That's just the nature of the beast.
NB: We've heard it all before. But the reality, dog
discrimination does exist.
NB: Some people say that cats shouldn't be allowed to roam
freely making a mess wherever they please but putting a cat on a
leash that's a bit much. That's why this kitty walker could be the
answer to those problems. Except that they don't seem to dig it.
NB: Is this paw paradise? That's different story. It's
called The Cat's Den and it's the latest way to keep your cat
indoors while outdoors. Business is brisk thanks to new by-laws
that are fining owners who allow their cats to prowl off their
property. Just this year, Newmarket, Richmond Hill and Vaughan
passed by-laws to do just that.
Kris Kischer: I think I'm now offering my clients something
that wasn't there before, yet a lot of people were thinking of a
way of allowing their cats to go out without having to worry about
all of the dangers that are out there.
NB: This cat den is fully equipped with a hammock and an
entertainment console for kitty's viewing pleasure. The creator of
this concept says her 3 cats are happy and no surprise, her
neighbours are as well. Proving that when it comes to cats,
leashes are for dogs. This is Global's Neha Bhupal reporting. |
