Yes, the cats are killed for that purpose, my teacher said its VERY unlikey a cat will be sick at that time. I really do agree there should be different ways to go about this, but I know there really isn't any other way for me, this would be the only time I'd see it. We actually saw it today. They cut her open, and we saw all her organs, then he took out a kitten, it was so tiny, it was still pink, but I don't know why, but I thought it was cute. We also saw a pigs uterus, I had NO clue it would be that big, it was huge! We saw a little pigglet too :]

Like I said, I found it hurt to see the cat, but me not seeing it, wouldn't make it stop, and I could be cruel, but I wanted to see it :[ I find it sooo amazing to learn about where they came from, how the developed. It makes you understand and appresiate it more.
