NEW ZEALAND: Cat owners aren’t feline fine after a local council passed a bylaw limiting the number of cats that can be kept in a household.

Cat lovers in Rangitikei District can now only have three moggies, TVNZ reported. The limit came in after some people complained to the council about bad smells and noise.

Cllr Michael Hodder told TVNZ: “This is a case of dealing with nuisances. We haven’t instituted a reign of cat inspectors. It’s not like your dog registration.”
