Pets in wheelchairs apparently need to be leashed, the same as their able-bodied counterparts. One Florida woman learned as much when she was ticketed for walking her disabled kitty without a tether.
Yvonne Steel, the owner of wheelchair-bound cat Pooh Bear, was fined $230 after animal services officers in Melbourne (part of Brevard County) spotted her pets roaming free.
In addition to fines, she was also slapped with tickets for failing to keep her Chihuahua on a leash and for a rabies shot violation.
