China. Taking rules and administrative overreach to the next level and then some.

Yeah, China. Lots of rules but as with most things here, there's ways round them. I know so many people with 2+ dogs, you just get a friend to register one under their name. Or if you have a "too big" dog then you only walk it at night.

Yes, though they only need the licence because they'll need export documents at some point. You don't need a licence just to have a cat normally. You do need one for a dog, the rules vary by city but in general certain breeds are banned, there are size limits depending on how centrally you live and you're only allowed one dog per person - until a few years ago, each city would have "dog registration day" and you had to go to the police station on that day with your dog... It was carnage. Dogs everywhere. Dogs having passport photos taken. Chaos.
