Animals may, only upon an owner's property, be restrained by a tether; however any such tether must be at least ten (10) feet in unobstructed length and attached to a pulley or trolley mounted cable which is at least ten (10) feet in unobstructed length and mounted no more than seven (7) feet above ground level. The tethering system must be entirely contained within the owner's property, any tether shall weigh no more than one-eighth (⅛) of the animal's weight, have swivels on both ends and be attached to a properly fitted collar or harness.

    this is a case of: it depends on how you look at it...

    Some ppl house theire dogs outside...
    some in a kennel and others with a leashe which is quit normal actualy.
    and what you discribe/quote is not leaving the animal behind becaus it says 'on the owner's property' ... so its not about leaving behind, but the accomodation of the dog.

    I'm just quoting the article, which unfortunately does not cite any (if any) laws about leashing animals in public

    Sometimes no animals can be leashed in public, but I think the problem is that people are less accustomed to seeing cats tethered.

    you have a cat that you walk with a leashe?
    thats not verry costum no :P ive seen it before.
    But i think.. what the heck, why not? if i had a cat i would learn my cat to walk on a leashe :P
    it would be awesome to go somewhere with my cat haha

    i had guinea-piggs in the past wich i 'walked' with a leashe outside on some summer days ^^.
    ofcourse most of the time i'd carry it. but they did actualy follow me haha!!
    it was nice jsut sitting on the grass with a guinea-pig peacefully eating next to you ^^
    though you had to keep attention and watch out for lose walking dogs haha!!

    .. .. .. .... .. the good old days

    This does not justify tethering a cat outside. This only means that cats can tether their humans out on the lawn.
