What a beautiful kitty you have there - she is lucky to have a home. Unfortunately sooooo many others are not this lucky and as a volunteer for 4 animal shelters, not all no kill, I see perfectly healthy cats and kittens (and dogs of course) being killed because of overpopulation. Please rethink adding to this horrificly sad problem. In this economy our shelters are even more full than before - sterilisation is the only way to stop the suffering and high numbers of euthanisation. I hope you will reconsider - by not having another litter you are giving a chance to some deserving cats and kittens already in shelters. The statistics show that out of every litter of 6 cats, 4 end up dead. This is just the reality and we need to face it and change it. I wish everyone who is thinking of letting their cat or dog reproduce had to go to a shelter and choose which ones were to be euthanized - it might make them realize that the miracle of birth is not so beautiful while so many are dying.
Please have your pets sterilized as soon as possible to lower, and one day hopefully eliminate, unwanted and abandoned pets. It IS our responsibility. Adopting from a shelter also helps - encouraging breeders just adds to the overpopulation.
