Sec. 3-31. Same—Cats.
If at any time the mayor has cause to apprehend the existence
of rabies among the cats in the city, it shall be lawful
for him to require by proclamation, published in a newspaper
in the city, that all cats be confined to the premises of their
owners for such time as may be prescribed. No person shall
permit a cat to run at large during such period.
Any cat found running at large during such period may
be caught and confined and, if not claimed within forty-eight
hours, shall be destroyed. (Code 1959, § 3-27.)
