So now that we have clear scientific evidence of coronavirus transmission between people and cats, are the Kapiti Coast District Council going to force people to keep their cats on their own property from now on? Pffft – as if! I can’t imagine a more obvious bunch of cat people than this set of reactionary morons.
(NB I can think of many reasons why people should be forbidden from allowing their cats to roam freely, such as the indiscriminate slaughter of native wildlife, but the potential spread of coronavirus is not one of them.)
