So things like deer, raccoon, skunk, etc. are typically out of the question.

Makes you wonder why cats arent illegal then. Gotta love government. Always protecting you from you, but only when they're not extorting slave labor from you.

They are illegal. The legal ones are the exception that proves the rule: felis catus, having been domesticated over ten thousand years or so.
