New laws could soon ban cats from public places in WA — here's what's on the cards

Western Australia is currently considering legislative changes to the state's cat laws, which are awaiting final approval in parliament. These proposed regulations could potentially restrict cats from accessing public spaces, marking a shift in how feline management is handled across the state.

In anticipation of these legislative updates, several local councils are exploring additional measures to manage domestic cat populations. Among the options under consideration by these local governments are the implementation of mandatory curfews for cats.
