There are no federal laws specifically aimed at house cats. Only three states—California, Maine, and Rhode Island—have “cat codes” that specifically cover felines, but those are mostly aimed at cat shelters and businesses, not individual owners. A few localities have ordinances that govern how house cats can be treated by owners—how many cats you can have, whether you have to spay or neuter them, etc.— but not many. General laws about cruelty or neglect to animals apply of course, and there’s likely to be local ordinances about how the city deals with stray or feral cats, but for typical domestic cats, the law is largely silent.
Do cats need licenses?
