[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Outdoor cats aren’t legal many places, including DC.[/b] If you see sn outdoor cat in DC, it’s either a stray or someone is illegally letting their cat out without a leash.

We treat our cat lijj my e a small dog in this respect. We let him go out in our backyard under supervision, but otherwise he stays in with us. I’d definitely worry about him wandering the neighborhood on his own. I once saw a possum in our backyard that was probably 30 pounds. It’s really not safe to let your cats roam free in the city.[/quote]

If you mean Montgomery County (and someone has been posting erroneously about that this morning, already), cats ARE allowed to roam "at large." If they go onto private property, they can be humanely trapped and returned to the owner or humanely transported to an animal shelter.
