I have a gripe about certain cat owners who do not neuter their cats. One really comment infuriated me when a lady told me that she loved all 5 of her cats. I asked if they were neutered. She said no need for it as they were all males and she allows them to run out of the house. She even had the cheek to quip that she didn't want to keep females because of the pregnancy problem. As long as they have their fun outside. If they have their fun outside, that means they are mating with the neighbourhood strays and 5 males means at least 10 stray kittens born out there per mating season!!!

A startling fact is, a sexually matured stray cat is able to breed up to 3 times a year! That means at least a dozen kittens a year from one mother.

I find it strange that there are so-called cat lovers out there who allow their animals to impregnate other cats or allow them to be impregnated. What happens? They get dumped at animal shelters or the kittens' health is compromised by the large population of cats in one home.

Neutered cats enjoy a longer life, no sexual frustration, no sexually transmitted diseases (yes our pets do get it as well!!!), no pregnancy / unwanted kittens and no messes for the owners after that.

Leave the breeding to the pros who will most probably neuter them before selling them off.

IF YOU LOVE CATS AND ALL CATS, PLEASE SPARE A THOUGHT FOR THOSE UNWANTED AND UNSEEN KITTENS IN THE STREETS AND PRACTISE NO-SEX FOR YOUR PETS!!!!!

Forum members, please neuter your pets (unless you're a breeder) before it's too late!
