The Norton Shores City Council is scheduled to vote on a proposed cat 
ordinance next month that would prohibit residents from owning more than three cats 
or allowing them to roam off their property. 
The proposed ordinance, expected to be considered by the city council April 
6, was prompted by the abandonment last year of a home in the city that 
contained at least nine cats. 
City officials decided on three as the limit of cats per home after surveying 
other communities and speaking with officials with Muskegon County animal 
control, said Mark C. Meyers, Norton Shores' director of administrative services. 
"We also considered the fact we restrict dog ownership to two without a 
kennel license," Meyers said.
