1000 Flowers for the Planet - #120 De-Sex Your Cat
Much loved by some, much hated by
others, the domestic cat is sometimes a controversial animal. For those who are
in love with their feline friends, ensure you love your cat enough to have it
de-sexed and prevent unwanted litters of kittens. I’ve personally known people
who think that owning a cat is all about paying it attention when they feel
like it and ignoring it when they’re too busy. This is not responsible pet
ownership.
Owning a cat is a privilege, and owners
should be responsible enough to have their beautiful moggy de-sexed at the
appropriate age. There are so many unwanted felines out there adding to the
problem of feral cats who threaten our wildlife. The Christmas season always
creates a dramatic increase in the number of dumped cats (and dogs) that were
temporary presents for children whose parents gave them a poor life lesson in
the treatment of animals. Cats are not a commodity. They are living, breathing
creatures, and they deserve better. And de-sexed male cats are often less aggressive,
making them nicer pets.
Be responsible. De-sex your cat.
