    It never does any good Medusa. There are people that just do not care and we all know preaching to them do no good at all..

    Yes, this is so sad. I remember a friend of mine was adopting a female kitten which still needed to be spayed. She received a free spay paper so it wouldn't cost her anything later on. Any way I remember her commenting that "If we keep spaying and neutering animals then soon there won't be any more kittens or puppies being born." I told her that there will always be plenty of them because not every one spays and neuters their pets. I think that most people still don't get it which is very sad.

    Yes, all of my cats are fixed.

    Yes! I've got 14 - 7 for me and 7 for Dad.

    I have been in more than one "discussion" with a new puppy owner or a cat owner about spay / neuter. Some of them are rather . . . dense! Single minded; "NO ONE not even the government is going to tell me what to do with my animals!" That sort of thing. Sigh.

    Not only sobering but pretty sad fact too. We can all shout from the top of the house about neutering and spaying but no one seems to hear, or rather they don't care. To some a litter means dollars and they just are not going to give that up because their dog or cat is always "special" and they have a "special" reason to breed.
    I know our shelters are full out here and there are still homeless pets out there. Foster homes are all but full themselves, and we have a long cold winter coming up.

    OMG - there are 4 people residing in this house. 28 cats and dogs???? However there are 2 dogs and 2 cats residing in here with us - all of which have been "fixed"! Also my outdoor resident kitty was already fixed when he took up residence here.
