Environmentalist and former Scarborough city councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker said “If you love your cat, keep Fluffy indoors.” to Toronto City Council Wednesday as a city committee discussed a plan that could prohibit cat owners from allowing felines to roam freely outdoors. The motion, moved by Councillor for Don Valley North, Shelley Carroll, is rooted in the belief outdoor cats can be a danger to local ecosystems, hunting bird and rodent populations, and are themselves at risk of being hit by vehicles or attacked by wildlife while roaming.
