Home: Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Weather: bloody cold but not windy.  And again, it’s a dry cold.

It seems a little strange to me to see cats walking around outside when I’m visiting other places, because we don’t allow that here.

In Calgary, we’ve had our Cat Bylaw for a few years.  No loose cats!  You can own a cat but he stays indoors or goes out on a leash or supervised, not just wandering.

It sounds like that old Monty Python sketch about the Cat Detector Van, but it’s true.

No cats.

Oh, and we have no rats in Alberta.

But bats, so far, are allowed.
