What method of reducing strays would you want to see introduced?
Licencing would be hard to enforce, so do you think that micro-chipping being made compulsary would resolve the problem?
I want to hear your views on this ..

micro chipping i think will help, but i think it's another that's hard to implement. Who's going to have the job of grabbing cats to check for a chip. I'd hate to think someone would try to pick Molly up to scan for a chip. She is a very skitty cat and would be terrified. She likes to go out but never wanders further than the garden or the front street. I think the reduced price chipping is a good idea, and also offering cheaper neutering helps. People have cottoned onto the fact kittens can bring money in via selling them, in the past kittens were often offered free so more were acquired on impulse. but it's also had the negative effect of some getting a cat just to use to make money from kittens . I remember when i was getting the 2 tortie's spayed some telling me i could make money from kittens. It would have been nice in ways to see my girls with a litter,but silly selfish reasons. I'd be terrified something went wrong when in labour, or it happened outside, and I'd not want to part with the kittens anyway . certainly not them being sold from the house or given to a pet shop. Having 3 girls 2 aged 3 the other 4 is scary to think just how many kittens could have been born from them and their offspring. And how many of those may have become strays
