This seems a bit.....excessive and it makes me wonder: did the cat serve time in jail too!?
Man Jailed for Not Licensing Cat in N.D.But then again - we all know the decay of the fabric of society that comes from allowing unlicensed felines to roam around at will. First, they'll pee in the yard to mark their territory and then it gets really intense: cats whizzing all over the place!!
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - A North Dakota man has served an unusually steep sentence for having an unlicensed cat: two days in jail.
William T. Dennis, 38, was charged with failing to license his feline, which normally brings a fine. But a warrant was issued for his arrest when he didn't show up for a court appearance on the charge.
Dennis spent two days in jail before appearing in court again.
"He basically just received credit for time served," said Bismarck Municipal Judge Charles Isakson.
Failure to license an animal carries a fine up to $1,000 and a possible 30 day jail sentence in Bismarck.
"I never thought I'd sentence someone to two days in jail for this," Isakson said. "Since no situations like this are on record, I had no history to go on for sentencing."
It's a good think this judge put a serious stop to this uncivilized behavior.

The cat thing. That's a bit overboard. I do understand the necessity for rabies shots, etc., but the city licensing is just a friggin' rip off. If an animal has had it's shots, etc., then why is there a need to "register" with the city? It already has the necessary records with the veterinarian.
