A cat could have 90 or more kittens in that time.

LA County is trying to pass laws about spaying/neutering- all unaltered dogs must have a permit- and they can only get a permit if they are active in showing, agilty, etc. or part of an AKC, etc approved breeding program. I think it is somewhat a good idea, BUT it needs to be carefully thought through about what the future of dogs will become. I love my mutts, and the thought of there never being more mutts and breeders charging even more outrageous prices for dogs- there are going to be a lot of people who will never experience the joy of having a dog. When drastic measures are taken, drastic changes occur- and usually goes a lot further than hoped. Laws like this can help, yes- but they can also do a lot of harm.
