Oh dear!

This encapsulates the over-population problem perfectly. Parents, abiding by an ill-concieved, half-baked philosophy that spaying a pet is "wrong" are further perpetuating ignorance by teaching their children the very same thing!

Thank you Kristal, for recognising that your cat is suffering because of the fact that she is constantly pregnant. Bearing in mind that the period of gestation for cats is about 8 weeks this is a serious problem.

Now is the time to educate your Mum ... as a rough estimate, Gabrielle's litters will perpetuate into around 100 cats within a years time! At least!

If it were me, and I was a rather moral and sanctimonious teen I'd have gone behind her back and have it done with my pocket money!
