Well I can't tell you how many times I have been hiking on trails and ice fishing and a cat came running up to me and I had to quickly decided whether or not it was gonna bite me or jump on me wife and little kids. Oh that's right that has never happened. The whole point of the leash laws are to protect people from being hurt by unleashed dogs. Every time I go for a hike dogs unleashed come running to us barking, growling, and most of the time happy wagging their tails. But all it takes is one dog unleashed to attack. Also the owners need to be able to control their dog when on the leash. How many unleashed cats have you heard of breaking peoples bones?
Swmpy I truly hope your joking. If not there is something seriously wrong with you. And you don't think unleashed not necessarily stray dogs kill rabbits and other wildlife.
Hey Flowbase, I truly hope your joking. There are laws for dogs, plenty of them. There are none, zilch, zero for cats. Maybe you enjoy removing the cover from your boat and it reeking of cat urine, I don't. Maybe you enjoy going out to your car in the morning and notice cat prints all over it, I don't. Maybe you enjoy the odor around your porch from the cats, I don't. The ball has to stop bouncing one way.

I lived in a condo for a few years and often parked outside. Cats would leave paw prints on my car. Pissed me off to no end.

It was one of the many reasons I moved to a house on 5 acres. No cats, especially with our dog able to roam the property and do as he pleases.

You're wrong jon, absolutely wrong. In the eyes of the law, cats can't do any wrong, it's always the dogs fault. If a cat comes onto your property and causes your kenneled dogs to bark, the owner of the cat can sign a complaint and win. Enough complaints like that and your dogs can be destroyed.
For over 30 years I've lived on 11 acres, 145 acre wooded tract on 1 side of me, 300 acres of Consumer Union property on another, ~120 acres state owned across from me, and 1 losey neighbor with cats that moved in a few years ago. My wife now lives in upstate New York with our dogs or our dogs would have to be destroyed because of that neighbor who purposely went out of her way to cause the problem. We could no longer afford the legal fees, it cost that neighbor nothing to sign the complaint, the state paid the rest.

Oh wow, no wondor you have a thing with cats, I see your frustration. However, is sounds like you have a crazy unreasonable neighbor and your dogs bark too much.
I had a neighbor back in the day with two dogs, which I hated. I really wanted to kill those things. I didn't have to because he ended up moving pretty quick after a few heated discussions. If a leaf blew by, they would bark, if a squirell was in sight they would bark, if a cat went by they would bark, basically if anything moved or made a noise they would bark. It is not the fault of the leaf, cat or squirrell that the dogs always barked - IT IS A DOG PROBLEM !
The reason there is no laws pertaining to cats and there is with dogs is because dogs are dangerous and cats are not. I don't think anyone really cares if a cat is in their yard or if one left paw prints on their car, there is more important things to worry about..
Wow, I can't beleive I just wrote all this about cats and dogs..
