HARTFORD, CT — Connecticut already licenses dogs, so what about cats? It admittedly sounds like a crazy idea until you begin to unpack it, according to state Rep. Kelly Luxenberg, D-Manchester.

At first glance, Luxenberg admits the suggestion that the state should license cats seems a little like a revenue grab. However, she outlines her reasons for the state to consider it.

She said there is a greater good. It’s a reminder to have your cat spayed or neutered and it would be helpful for cat owners if they lose their cat.

Luxenberg said she’s not a cat person and has never owned a cat, but she sees missing cat posters all the time and believes it would be helpful for cat owners looking to reunite with their feline friends.
