Sad thing happening in my city, the city council is going to set about writing a "cat leash law". It boggles the mind to think that they think this could possibly work or be humane to cats. It is in response to the very vocal "cat haters" in the city.

If they manage to pull if off, I hope that they will be over-run with mice and rats. This is what happened in an exclusive part of Toronto, where they had all sorts of "bylaws" including what time children were welcome in the area to visit.

A cat that I had through much of my childhood was a long hair black cat who lived to be 20 years old. His name was Pierre. He had no health problems but one night he went to sleep and that was it. He died peacefully in his sleep. The only problems he had were that he forgot to groom his beautiful hair so it would mat if we did not brush him often. Also, once in awhile he forgot to go to the bathroom in his litter box, twice he peed on the dining room table.
