"In the state of Colorado, a pet cat, if loose, must have a tail-light ! "

Now just how the hell do you put a tail-light on a cat? Do you stick it up his butt hole? What cat is gonna stand there and let you put a light up his ass without tearing you to ribbons? I swear somebody didn't think that one through.
