Please understand that I mean no disrespect to your mother, but I find it hard to understand her reluctance to have Peggy spayed.Peggy is a beautiful kitty and appears to be a real sweetie. I pray that your mother doesn't change her mind about this. Peggy will be happier and healthier after the procedure plus there won't be any more unwanted kittens left to fend for themselves. Is there ANYTHING we PT'ers can do to help?
