If you check the leash law I think you will find that it does not
apply to cats.

There is a leash law for cats in my city. Cats are not allowed
outside their fence or the city will give the people a ticket. So
far, they've been ticketed three times. One more, and the fee goes
up
to 250 dollar per incident for three more incidents. 500 for three
more and up to 1000 for three after that. This law is for cats AND
dogs.

That's very unusual and suggests a somewhat unrealistic attitude
toward cats on the part of the legislators.

Or a strong motivation for the animals owners to properly control their animals.
Many people don't enjoy songbirds being killed, their gardens being dug up, and
their spinach being contaminated by someone elses cute little pet. People who
allow their cats to roam freely are imposing on their neighbors.
