Student Resource Homes in the City Cats at Home Cat owners are required to make sure their pet does not wander on to other people’s property without permission. The fine for an at-large cat is $100, but if a cat is licensed it is eligible for one free ride home from the City without a fine every 12 months. Dealing with an Unwanted Cat on Your Property If you have an unwanted cat on your property, politely ask your neighbour to keep their cat on their own property. If you do not know who the owner is or if speaking with your neighbour did not solve the problem, you may want to make your property less inviting to the animal. Another option is to humanely trap the cat and turn it over to the City. Making Your Property Less Inviting Cats can be trained not to enter your yard simply by making your property unpleasant. • Place mesh netting (angled outwards) or PVC pipe at the top of your fence prevent cats from climbing over. • Bury chicken wire just below the surface of your flowerbeds to discourage digging and cover the bed with bark chips or gravel so it is rough. • Spray the cat with water whenever it enters your yard. • Spread repellents around your property, like vinegar or orange peels. 90 Make A Better City

What are some examples of short, simple actions one person can take to help another Edmonton is also called a winter city, with months of cold temperatures and snowcovered sidewalks and streets. The City of Edmonton has a plan called the WinterCity Strategy, which encourages people to embrace this season and participate in a variety of activities! Part of this strategy includes ideas that help make the city safer and easier to live in during winter. How do you think changing seasons affect a city’s livability Livability can mean a variety of things to different people. However, it often refers to the extent to which a place feels accessible, comfortable, enjoyable and safe. When Edmonton’s winter months turn into spring, the litter and garbage that accumulates over winter can affect the city’s livability. Spring and fall cleanups involves everyone in managing litter and cleaning up. How do you think individual responsibilities can change in different seasons Discuss these “think alouds” with your group: The most important action citizens can take during summer is.... Winter can cause challenges for some people when.... Spring and fall cleanups make a difference if.... Make A Better City 91
