This is an excerpt from an article in CAPITOL NOTES by Charles Ashby, Pueblo Chieftain's Denver Bureau chief. Credit given:
Read this sentence (paragraph) and tell me what strikes you. This isn't about the contents of the bill itself but the contents of the paragraph.
"Two Denver-area Democrats have introduced a bill that would require the owners of cats that are 4 months or older to be tagged with some form of identification, either in the form of a tag on its collar or a microchip in its head."

I would have said "that are at least four months old," in place of "that are four months or older."
ok keep looking
I guess you think it's weird that they are singling out cat owners to be chipped? Why not chip all pet owners?
nope, that's not it. Unless you mean the part about the owners being chipped instead of the animals. :)
I read that the owners-who are 4 months etc. Thats how I followed it. I thought, that would be terrible to tag a little baby! :) Oh, and hi.
It refers to "cats" in the plural at the beginning of the paragraph and then at the end it refers to the cats by the pronoun "its." They don't match.
good one Queen.
I thought it was funny because I read it as Kay mentioned in her second comment.
