Salt Lake City Council members will be talking cats and dogs tonight. The council has scheduled a public hearing near 7 p.m. on proposed changes to the capital's animal-control ordinance. Some of the controversial changes include licensing cats and ferrets, increasing fees charged for "at-large" animals and changing the number of animals allowed per house. Residents now are allowed two dogs and two cats. Some want to lift the limits, particularly for dogs. The council has been discussing special permits - rescue, foster and fancier - to allow more pets in some homes. The hearing will be in Room 315 of City Hall, 451 S. State.
