Cats get far less attention than dogs in animal law, so that’s where I start: leash and licensing rules, how many you can keep, and what to do about strays. I also cover exotic pets, renting and traveling with animals, shelters and adoption, choosing a breeder, and the hard questions when a pet dies, like burial and cremation rules. Where a rule has a fine or a deadline, I link the law or agency behind it.
