Default Welfare of cats - Kuching Gerai

Based on the banter, so what I had mentioned earlier about NEUTERING your cats is more relevant than before.

If there was control in the first place, there wouldn't be any stray cats cari makan at the gerai-gerai right?

Just went to Bangkok a few months ago. You cannot believe the amount of stray dogs all over the place. Also, as they are Buddhists, they do not believe in culling, so the population keeps growing. Seeing all those mangy dogs broke my heart and I wonder, as a Buddhist myself, I think ending their suffering should be better.

I guess cats are less visible but nevertheless, too many kittens die unnecessarily due to careless handling of animals.

Hopefully this forum can be a spring board for our members to help educate other cat owners.

As it is already, the Jabatan Islam has said that it is OK to neuter cats as welfare and health of the animal in question is a priority.

If it is expensive to neuter at a clinic, try SPCA as they have cheap and good facilities there.
