What about the privacy concerns? If your cat (or a close feline relative) commits a crime, they’ll be easier to track down.

I look forward to the reality show where excited toms leap around the stage cheering and desultory queens weep after Meowry Pawvich proclaims “You are not the father!”

Is it called “19andMeow” ??
