• Only if it comes from real cats. I don%26#039;t know what their purpose is, but I%26#039;d like to know. (I do know they hurt if you are whipped with them)
• Not unless you%26#039;re on a protected wilderness preserve.

• I%26#039;m sure you mean the plant. As far as I know, it%26#039;s like picking a flower. As long as its not on someone%26#039;s property, you should be fine.

• The sea oats along the beach borders are illegal to pick along the Atlantic coastlines,is all I am familiar with.This helps with land erosian I think..,and protection from high waters.
• First off it depends on where you%26#039;re picking them from. Flora and fauna is typically protected in preserves and state or federal parkland.
  
  But that aside, what are you using them for? If you%26#039;re eating the cattail, make sure the water source is pure. If it%26#039;s ornamental, no problem there, but in any case this time of year watch for nests; some birds build them right into the cattails.
• no
• If your in a state or federal land, it is illegal to pick any plant.
