. Cat Leash ordinence Scott Rashid 1) House cats don't have to go outside to find food, yet they kill, and most times don't even eat what they kill. 2) Dogs have a leash ordinance because they bother wildlife. Cats bother wildlife also. 3) House cats kill indiscriminately. They kill large numbers of songbirds, gamebirds, As well as mammals. The house cat is the number one reason for the decline of ground nesting birds such as Meadowlarks, and Hornedlarks. 4) I rehabilitate birds of prey. I had a Northern Saw-Whet Owl that was attacked by a house cat, and now the owl is permanently disabled. It is documented that one owl can catch:more mice in one night than seven cats could. House cats don't really do all that much as far as keeping rodent population in check. 5) Both Loveland and Fort Collins have leash ordinances for cats. 04~ A-J '5 5 -, 6) Myself and at least one other person that I have talked with, have been awakened by cats outside at night. 7) There are a number of people who have had there cats killed by either coyotes or other wildlife. One person that I talked with said " If my cat was killed by a coyote, I would not be mad at the coyote.": -:r-1' :3 In my,opinion if someone lets there cat out and it gets killed, the people don't really care all that much about there cats. 8) House cats cause health hazards to children when the cat uses a sandbox as a litter box. Some of the disease are Tapeworms, Roundworms, and Tbxo Plasmosis. 9) I trap and band birds. I have had at least one of my banded birds killed by a cat. 10)I have two cats kakk that are 4 years old and have never been let outside. Cats don't have to go outside. 11) With a leash law, the ferel cat problem would be better controlled.
. I I Ieash Law Page 2 Scott Rashid 12) Cats have been known to use gardens as litter boxes. 13) House cats damage property when they urinate on others property. 14) Wild cats pass on diseases such as Feline Leukemia to other cats.
