Purrents complaining that new feline tax could be a cat-astrophe

I’m not saying these cats shouldn’t be there. I’m saying that the distinction between “pet” and “wild or feral animal” is “does a human take responsibility for this animal’s wellbeing and actions?”

If one of my pets needs medical care or kills a neighbor’s chickens or poops in someone’s yard then that’s my responsibility to deal with. If an animal I happen to be friendly with does those things and I say “not my problem” then it’s not really my pet.
