Mom says no to spay/neuter

[petsbestern]

Well, I printed these replies out for mom, but she still won't agree. She said we are not removing any part of any of our pets' body and that was it. Our not spaying/neutering our animals is not going to add to the population at all, so don't worry about that. We are not going to have a spraying problem either, because my cat and bunny have their own rooms. When we renovated our house a few years ago, we have a very big yard, so my dad made 2 special pet rooms that we could house our pets in. They are made in the yard, but they are attached to the house by a hallway, so its basically part of the house. Both rooms have full air conditioning and heating and they are properly ventilated with many windows. They are insulated too. Its part of the house and what we call "the pets palace." There is no carpet there. The floors and walls in both my kitty and bunny's rooms are fully marble and we made a few drains in the floor. There is also a pipe connection in the room, so in case the cat or bunny sprays, we can wash the whole room. Its very easy to clean. My kitty's room has 3 different cat trees in it, a box full of toys, 2 beds, her food and water dishes, and everything a kitty could ever ask for. She does come in the main house area ALL the time though, but that's the room where she lives, goes bathroom, etc. I guess it doesn't matter that she's not spayed because when she grows up, she has her room, and there is no way she could get out. Its not mean to her in that she will see a cat through the window and can't get to him, because she can't see any other cat. We don't have a 2nd cat (though we might get another female one) so she can't see any male kitty. Its not going to add to the population in any way. My bunny has his own room too with everything a bunny could ask for. Its connected to an outdoor run, and he has an indoor/outdoor hutch there too. We can also wash his room if he ever sprays. I don't know if you understand how the setting is, so I kind of made a drawing of it to give you an idea. Yes my dad dedicated a lot of money for our pets by making those special rooms just for them! My parents cannot handle a spraying problem, so if the bunny sprays in his room, we can easily wash the entire room. I'm in those two rooms all day when I'm not with the birds. The three birds live in the living room, so they are around us all the time, and the kitty and bunny are just around the corner. Its like going to the garage, but not really because its part of the house.
