My problem is not so much with the feral cats, but the tremendous likelihood that domestic house cats will slip out of their homes and/or collars and get shot. Plus, the owner wouldn't be able to do didly squat about it .

What about cats who've had microchips implanted? However much cat owners spend to get them put in is wasted if this law goes into effect.

I remember somewhere, possibly on Fox News when they were talking about it, that they said that a cat can be shot if it's not under direct control of an owner. I suppose that means if Boots jumps out of your arms, anybody could legally blast 'em with their shotgun. =P

In my opinion, they're nuts.

No. Try reading the articles on this. There are plenty. This does not open up cats roaming in your own yard to other people, no matter how many here would try to twist it to say it does or will.

Hey, thanks for projecting.

Are the majority of states that treat feral cats in the way this law proposes nuts?
