Walking a cat on a lead just isn't feasible. Cats aren't like dogs. They like to climb and jump.

Excluding cats with collars is all very well but at a distance who is going to see a collar on a long haired cat? Also, cat collars are not like dog collars. They have to be able to break away under stress because cats climb and could get caught on something. If the collar didn't break away the cat could be strangled.

How are they going to distinguish between pet cats and working farm cats who are roaming free there to keep down the mice?

Another cat related subject which surprised me when I was told - it's normal procedure over there to remove cats' claws so they don't scratch furniture.
