Voters at a Dudley town meeting Tuesday night approved the addition to a town bylaw, which will impose a $100 per day fine for violations, after a local man complained that some of the 15 cats owned by Mary Ellen Richards had destroyed his lawn.

Richards said at the town meeting that she now plans to put her house up for sale and move to a "more cat-friendly community".
