The number of rabies cases reported in cats is routinely 3-4 times that of rabies reported in cattle or dogs.


As expected the report does not indicate any specific study of rabies in house cats.

Your unvaccinated cat gets out, get's bitten by a racoon, or fox or possum, comes back, turns into a gremlin, scratches your kid, --- let put the cat down. To prove that the cat had rabies, let's cut off the head, send it to Trenton to get it checked out in the lab. Take your kid to the ER, slim chance there was saliva on the claw when the cat scratched, get a bunch of shots that cost a ton of money.

Or get the cat vaccinated and licensed. How much if the fee? The cost of a discounted movie ticket?

For those of you thinking that your rights are being infringed upon or that you are being taxed unreasonably. Even if you have insurance to pay for the very costly shots to insure you will not get rabies the trauma is NOT worth it! I was the recipient of such an encounter and the time and money spent along with the stress involved is ABSOLUTELY not worth not getting your pet cat or dog the vaccination. Its a nobrainer--- get the shots; get the licence ;and get over it!

Rabies kills 4 Americans per year. That's 4000 Americans in the next 1000 years alone. If we don't act now. Can we really expect the madness to stop?

I do not think most people are getting the point on here. Cat owners are saying that they DO get their cats the rabies shot but DO NOT license them. Most cats DO NOT wear collars so even IF the cat was licensed and GOT OUT it would not matter if it were licensed or not. My cats do not wear collars , never have , never will. BUT THEY GET THEIR RABIES SHOT EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!!!! So even if and that is a big IF my cat got out no one would know if it were licensed or not.

Relevant how? It does nothing to establish whether indoor only cats are contributing to the problem.

I think it's awesome that we took the time to create a law to protect against something no one has established has hurt a single person in town, or even establish that there's a meaningful risk it would, but yet I keep seeing people slip and fall and having to walk right next to traffic on icy roads to get around sidewalks that are never shoveled yet we didn't want to trample on freedom to do what most townships do in protecting public safety there.

Can we at least be consistent? Are we going to create laws for every possible, hypothetical, incredibly remote risk or are we going to leave people responsible for doing the right thing without laws? Right now the answer seems to vary by the day, or the sub-committee, in this Township.

Someone already did miss the sarcasm.

The video was a joke. In being a joke, it becomes relevant by emphasizing the point that this topic isn't really an important issue.

I don't have skin in this game but don't support the licensing issue, agreeing with several points raised earlier. Vaccinating a cat is one thing, licensing an indoor cat is another. But my main agreement is with the point raised by one poster about slip and fall. Several folks completely capable of clearing their sidewalks decide not to in every snowfall. That's a bigger peeve that unlicensed kitties. it's unneighborly and inconsiderate, and is not in line with our town's regulation.
