It's now illegal in one Massachusetts town to own more than three cats without getting a special license.

Voters at a town meeting in Dudley on Monday night added language to a town bylaw that makes it illegal to own more than three cats without a $50 residential kennel license. Dudley is about 60 miles southwest of Boston.

The article was in response to a neighborhood feud over the 15 cats owned by Mary Ellen Richards.

The Telegram & Gazette of Worcester reports that one neighbor claimed the cats have ruined his yard.

Richards has put her home up for sale and says she plans to move to a "more cat-friendly community."

My ex mother in law needs to see this. She is known on her block as the "cat lady". She can't turn the little darlings away, and at any given time, has 7 or 8 of them on her porch, eating the food she puts out.

They live on her porch. All year round.
