City law and pet cats

[mtbc]

In moving to a new city in the US there is always the question of local law, regulating matters such as on-street and off-street parking. My reading of Oak Ridge law includes that, for pet cats, one must not only license them but also keep them on a leash, they ought not explore freely. I see enough cats around that I would guess enforcement to be light. There are coyotes but I also guess that it is rare for one to venture into the residential neighborhoods.
