CinnamonGirl: Yes youre right they can. Scarey isn't it? Maybe by us discussing it here we can spread the word a bit. I know there are vets in every city around here that will fix a cat if a person has absolutely no money at all. My vet also takes a payment plan if you really need to get your animal spayed or neutered and are low on cash. There is no reason to NOT get it done.
anastasia: I've always said if I ever won the lotto and had a lot of money I would pay all the vets in my province to have one day a month to advertise spaying and neutering cats (cats run wild here not dogs so I want to concentrate on lowering the feral cat population). I would foot the bill. It would help a little bit. It drives me mad when I see cats outside in my neighbourhood and then see them preggo every year. I am also a firm believer that cats in cities and urban areas do not belong outdoors. Too many things to harm them like disease, cars, people, not to mention fleas. If you love your cats keep them in doors and get them fixed! I have 11 cats and each one was fixed as soon as they were old enough.
CinnamonGirl: yeah..it's abandonment!! I don't understand the way people think! Oh,it's to expensive to get ONE fixed...you get ONE fixed and you can literally save dozens if not hundreds of lives of animals! If people did nothing but CONTROLLED bredding,overpopulation wouldn't be a problem,but unfortanatly,you have people like our families,you have back yard breeders...shame really.My parents had like 5 cats at one time...you know all outside "mousers" as people call them.Not one of them they had fixed and they started to multiply,FAST..well,after so long,they got overwhelmed and took them and dumped them all at some farms,still unfixed.Stupid!!
Tuesday: OMG! me too! It IS embarrassing!! they said,oh,we will just take them out and dump them at the farm,they always need cats....uh,NO THEY DON'T...that angered me!!
Tuesday: They told me if I fixed Patch he wouldn't be as aggresive...WRONG! He was meaner!!! I just believe in fixing so they can't reproduce irresponsibly and to reduce the risk of certain cancers.
heavenlyemma: I'm sorry he didn't make it :( It would be cool if you could keep them.DEFINATLY get them all fixed though,interbreeding would just be asking for trouble.Congats and PLEASE post some pics asap!!!

anastasia: Cheers me dear, My mum was soft with me growing up when it came to animals and always let me alot of the time keep the kittens i'll probably do the same lol .. well maybe.
Looks like they are both boys, so no we will not be keeping them. ..... Well, Emma doesn't want the spraying but I'm sure my daughter will worm her way around her mum.. Just we'll have to neuter the kept one quickly before it gets used to spraying.
Tuesday: thanks...actually,his ears had another growth spurt,LOL!!! Now they are bigger then him again.He just went to vet today and got his last parvo booster,nails clipped and microchipped.He is up to 81.7 pounds!! Hims is a big boy!!
Many of you know that Steve Erwin was killed today during a diving accident off of the coral reef.A stingray stuck him through the heart,he was 44 and leaves behind his wife and 2 kids.I know there is a post of this on the main chat board but I wanted a speacial post for him here,on our board. Steve was dedicated to helping animals of all kinds and educating people on animals...he was a great man and and endless worker in the protection of animals..he will be sadly missed.The only silver lining is that he died doing what he loved to do,and that was being with the animals.May your God take care of you in your passing and help your family through this difficult times...our thoughts are with them all.
Tuesday: I have his pics at snapfish.com...just have to figure out how to get you guys the address..He did well today,tested on everything and passed!!!
Toofer: thank you for sharing that with us!! Sorry about your doggy too.I had to put Patch down (the one in my pic) this past March,and I still get very sad thinking of it.
Having lost my Toy Poodle a year ago and no the hurt i felt.I thought i'd share this site with you.For $25.00 you can put a memorial for your pet. http://rainbowbridge.com
heavenlyemma: OMG - absolutely priceless - was it because the dog thought he was a cat OR the cat thought she was a dog? You could've won "Stupid Pet Tricks" hands-down with that one
srnity: At least I hope that's dog trying to hump dog. Few years back our eldest cat was willing to be humped by a dog, just the dog couldn't get that low
Jules: Then why do I have to keep telling my friend's five-month-old male puppy to stop trying to hump my 8 y/o (guessing here, she's from a shelter) fixed female before she snaps one day EVERY time I doggie-sit him?
anastasia: 2 years ago i opened my front door and found my ickle mtisy-moo in a box, just left on my dorr step, to be honest i was reluctant at first, having 2 boys already i wasnt too sure how they would react, but Jessica (my daughter) slowly introduced her to them and they were fine. Mitsy was riddled with fleas and was quite poorly, took her to the vets, and a quick drenching of flea sparay, and anti-biotic injection and she is wonderful. I am so glad i kept her and not taken her to the Cats Protection League.
