Council needs to regulate cats

Readers' forum letters

People who leave their cats to roam 24/7 and leave their cats on their own for a number of days are not responsible pet owners.

Having their kill left outside one’s backdoor is unpleasant, as is having all the native birds from the tree at the front disappear but for a host of feathers being left around the tree.

Two plover chicks and two ducklings have also disappeared in recent weeks.

Another “new” cat runs across the road, causing motorists to jam their brakes on to avoid killing or injuring the cat.

This is unacceptable and neighbours are commenting about it.

Cats need to be registered and restricted just like dogs with penalties applicable to the owners failing to be responsible.

Roaming cats are akin to strays and are not pets.

Council needs to take responsibility and regulate the cats just like they do dogs.
