Having more than 3 cats now requires a license

Voters last night added language to a town bylaw that will make it illegal to own more than three cats without a kennel license, though Selectman Steven Sullivan said housing three felines was already a violation.

The article came after a neighborhood feud over cats owned by Mary Ellen Richards of Kennedy Drive.

Some of Mrs. Richards’ 15 cats are allowed outside, and one neighbor said the cats have ruined his yard.

The discussion at town meeting last night had Mrs. Richards warning residents that the $100 per day fines being imposed on her could also be imposed on them if they fail to get kennel licenses for their pets.

She has put her home up for sale and plans to move to a “more cat-friendly community,” but vowed to fight the fines.

   I wonder if having more than three hookers on the payroll will require a license?

   We must be good to the pussy.

   Funny how words like individual and collective fall to the rear when a story isn’t as personal to the reader. Trash bins and kids are personal to almost everyone but not pets.

    Having more then three children should require a license,since ultimately they destroy more than a backyard. Time to cork it up.
