Two Kitimat residents hope to save birds by clawing back house-cat freedom
KITIMAT, B.C. — A proposal by two residents of Kitimat, B.C., could send fur flying as they seek civic regulations on house cats.
Laurel Woodhill and Hilda Littman are appealing to Kitimat council to consider a bylaw that would keep cats indoors, away from birds and other wildlife.
The women say they are fed up dealing with what they call “carnage” in neighbourhoods of the north coast district municipality.
Woodhill estimates there are as many as 500 cats in the community, and she says they have been a problem for years.
