Within the purview of this article, a cat shall be considered a public
nuisance if it has no known owner or custodian or if it has no known place
of care or shelter, or if it habitually trespasses upon or damages either
private or public property or annoys, bites, scratches or harms lawful users
or occupants thereof.
Any person who owns, keeps or harbors any cat at any place within the
municipality or who permits any cat to enter the corporate limits of the municipality
shall exercise sufficient and proper care of and control over such animal
at all times to prevent the same from becoming a public nuisance as defined
in this article.
