Quebec is under a pandemic curfew. If you are out after 8pm you risk a fine, unless you are walking a dog.
So a man whose cat likes to go outside walking on a leash asked if the exemption applies to him. The answer is no. If he is out walking with his cat on a leash he risks a big fine. The same is true for other pets. Only people walking with dogs are exempt.

This doesn't seem fair. Cats like to keep odd hours and if the cat wants a night walk, why is it not given the same privileges a dog has.
I don't want the dogs to lose their privileges, but it is not okay that they are the only ones to get walks.
I know the curfew is necessary and where I live is one step short of a curfew. We all have to make sacrifices at this time, but would it really make that much difference if one person walks a cat?
