if you want to keep a cat, keep your cat in the house or fence your property accordingly so they can't leave your property or keep your cat in an appropriate compartment or cage. if you don't want to do that, don't have a cat. if you don't like to have a cat liter box in the house because of the smell, don't have a cat. if you don't want to feed your cat in the house for what ever reasons, don't have a cat. if you don't want to walk your cat on a leash, easy, don't have a cat. I am not allowed to let my dogs free roam in town, I am not allowed to let my dogs crap on neighbors property, I have to walk my dogs on a leash here in town. why should cats have other rights than dogs, why should cat owners have other rights than dog owners ? don't get me wrong, next week I will have a cat as well and it will be a lounge tiger with a liter box in the house and she will not leave the house. if I am not prepared to have a cat inside or in an appropriate compartment so she can not roam around and crap on neighbors property I don't have a cat...
