KENAI, Alaska -- Cats will need leashes like dogs if a proposal before the Kenai council wins approval. Kenai Mayor Pat Porter and council member Tim Navarre proposed a cat leash law after complaints about roaming felines. The current city code does not include cats on its list of animals that need to be restrained. The proposal also cites complaints about the effect of a growing cat population on the Kenai Animal Shelter's resources. A hearing and vote are set for Oct. 5.
