New Puppy and Cat has given Birth to 2 kittens

[dab_20]

I knew she was pregnant,just did not know when she would be giving birth,she is an outside cat and got out one time and here we are with babies!!!

I know your situation, my Oreo is pregnant, too. BUT, people are trying to educate you and you're taking it the wrong way. I also agree with most people on here, I am trying to educate my dad about it so we can get the kittens and Oreo spayed and nuetered. Try and understand where they're coming from, and if you can't? Just respect their opinion, you don't need to be devensive about it. I think enough has been said here and I won't add much more to it. It's your choice to take our advice or not. Good Luck with the mother and kittens.

I'm excited for you and your new dog!! We need pics

There is a nice little video in the Doghouse that might be of interest. But it only helps if people give a crap. ACCIDENTS ARE PREVENTABLE, and now their deaths are NOT. I'm not going to feel badly for thinking it's wrong. In my opinion it is wrong and completely irresponsible not to spay or neuter your pets. There is no good justification, period. And becuse of it, they suffer and die being unloved and alone! Accidnet don't HAVE to happen, if people would do the right thing for their animals. There are ever free or low cost spaying places, so even not having the money is no excuse at all. Sorry just makes me mad to see those who contribute to the problem not even care.

So how were your dogs brought into this world?

Don't get mad. We're just trying to help. I got yelled at and got this whole speech on shelter dogs when I decided to get a purebred Pom from a breeder, because Roxy lives on a chain, and because I had just lost Tink. I understand how it feels to be yelled at, but they're just trying to inform. Well, at least *I* am.

I just wanted to point out that many dogs from shelters are purebred and when people talk about shelters and rescues that includes breed-specific rescues too. My golden retriever is a rescue. Just for clarification. Blowing up at people really doesn't do any good, it just gets yourself so upset that you can't see any sense in what some people may be saying, you shut yourself off to learning or considering different viewpoints. With that said, I wish you the best.

edit: I was posting the same time as Kay was.

I have four dogs, three are purebred. Can you tell which one is a rescue? Bet you can't. I volunteer frequently and work for my humane society. We have 13 dogs right now, 7 are purebred. There are also lots of purebred dogs at our shelter.

Please quit playing the guilt card. Some of us have made mistakes, but we have learned and we are trying to educate people so they won't do the same. This thread has stayed informative if you exclude your own defensive, finger-pointing posts. We are not bashing you, we are trying to help you. Please calm down and really read these posts. What's done is done, your cats will be/have given birth and we can't change that. What we are trying to change is you ever having any more "oops" litters. If you want to go about breeding responsibly, then I and most other Pet Talkers will most certainly support you, but if you are not willing to spend thousands of dollars to show you have a top-notch cat/dog, then spay your animals and let them lead healthy lives.

NEWS FLASH! You can get pure bred dogs at shelters and breed specific rescues. Not EVERY purebred comes from a breeder. Also, there is a different between you and a responsible breeder, for instance, Luvofgold00! She is a very, very responsible breeder.



Quite possibly a forum isn't the place for you... you seem to have issues with accepting opinions and differing morals.

I dont breed cats!News Flash!

She wasn't talking about cats. She was talking about dogs, as before you said "I have been breeding cats and dogs since before you were born."

[Kfamr]

Stop contradicting yourself lady.

[dab_20]

So how were your dogs brought into this world?

That isn't the point she was making.

We are not bashing you. If you read your threads, and then other posts, you are the one who is yelling at us. I think you need to go back and reread the posts.

So how were your dogs brought into this world?

Well if you must know, one was a rescue and one was from a reputable breeder who was trying to better the breed. There is a big difference between that and what happened here. I am as entitled to my opinons as you are to yours. Reputable breeders only do so to better the breed and don't go around just letting their animals breed because they don't bother to get them fixed. If you don't like getting others opinions then don't make posts, if you are going to make them be prepared to get opinons that go along with yours and those who go against yours, since we all have differing ones. There is nothing wrong with responsible breeding, but that is not what you did and you know it. There are kids on here who are not in charge of whether their pets get spayed or not and that's totally diffierent, it's not up to them. But you are an adult who can make that choice and if you aren't going to get them spayed, then it is up to you to be repsonsible enough not tolet them produce any more animals that we are already killing in the thousands each day. Like it or not that's the truth of it.

I have learned a bunch from pettalk and glad all the folks on here educated me. I did rescue casey but bubba I bought from an ad in the paper, from what I have learned here I would not do that again. I searched and searched the local shelters for a small dog and gave up.

We are never too old to learn from others, I have learned a lot from people half my age and I am not too proud to admit that. Sorry we hurt your feelings or you feel attacked.

I know in some cases it is best to underestimate the best of people, especially in situations like these.

But what's wrong with having faith every one in a while that people will do the right thing?

I'm sure Lori will appropriately place the kittens. How about having faith in a fellow PTer?
