The problem of cat versus bird is as old as time. If we attempt to resolve it by legislation who knows but what we may be called upon to take sides as well in the age old problems of dog versus cat, bird versus bird, or even bird versus worm. In my opinion, the State of Illinois and its local governing bodies already have enough to do without trying to control feline delinquency.

For these reasons, and not because I love birds the less or cats the more, I veto and withhold my approval from Senate Bill No. 93.

We tried a leash on our cat. She just lay there and would let us take her for a drag.

Even my long cat loves to read these silly laws. LOL =^..^=

Protector of truth.

Slayer of darkness.

Loooooong.

Longcat may seem like just a regular lengthy cat, but he is, in fact, looong. For proof, observe the longpic.

It is prophesized that Longcat and his archnemesis Tacgnol will battle for supremacy on Caturday. The outcome will change the face of the world, and indeed the very fabric of lolcatdom, forever.

I have trucker friends who leash their cat when out on the road. They say from the beginning she gave them no problems with yowling or fright over riding, she doesn’t usually try to launch herself out the open window, but it took a dog harness to outfit their enormous puddy for outdoors excursions.
