Just before we started recording Councillor Helps mentioned that council had spent the weekend debating among themselves via email on whether or not cat licensing was a good idea. Apparently a resident had written in with a request for consideration.
Is cat licensing really necessary?

A purely indoor cat should probably be exempt, since that is more like a gerbil or some other random pet that people keep in their houses.

Also what would be the purpose in licensing an indoor cat?

But as they say, the squeaky wheel...

Does anyone know the cost to the City/CRD/SPCA to deal with cats? That should be recovered somehow and licences seem like a reasonable way to do it.

Why should responsible pet owners shoulder this cost?
Having said that, many people feel that anyone that has an "outdoor" cat is not a responsible pet owner. Their lives are much shorter on average. But more interesting I suppose.

I'm torn on this issue as I don't mind seeing cats hanging about but I also detest cleaning up after cats who view my yard as a dumping ground.
