Snohomish County has no leash requirement or number limit specifically for cats. Cats are not covered by the dog leash law, and the 25-animal cap applies to dogs. Cats are still subject to the countywide animal nuisance and cruelty rules in SCC chapter 9.12.
The county's leash law (SCC 9.14.030) and 25-dog limit (SCC 6.06.008) apply to dogs, not cats, so cats are not required to be leashed or licensed at the county level and there is no numeric cat cap in county code. Cats still fall under general animal provisions: SCC 9.12.060 makes any domesticated animal running at large or making frequent, repetitive nuisance sounds abatable, and SCC 9.12.080 prohibits cruelty and abandonment of any animal. A free-roaming cat that becomes a nuisance can be addressed under these provisions even though there is no cat-specific leash rule.
There is no cat-leash penalty, but a nuisance cat can be handled under SCC 9.12.060 and cruelty or abandonment under SCC 9.12.080, which carry the same civil-infraction enforcement as other animal nuisances.
