Cats may have nine lives, but they should spend all of them on their property, East Gippsland Shire Council is reminding residents. A 24-hour cat curfew has been in place across the municipality since 2003.
The Shire’s Acting Community Laws Coordinator Darren Lang said it is an offence for cats to be at large outside the premises of the owner or not securely confined to the owner’s premises at any time of the day or night.
