i agree that neutering is good, but someone i was talking to was saying that every cat in the whole world should be neutered. but if we were to do that then cats would no longer exist because they would all die out.

Every cat that is not part of a responsible current breeding programme and who isnt unable to be neutered on medical grounds should, yes, be neutered.

i agree with that, all 5 of my cats are neutered. but this person was saying that even ones that are a part of responsible breeding programme should be neutered.

Im in 2 minds on this as why is it ok for pedagree cats to breed ( as some of them do end up in shelters to ) but not ok for moggy cats ok i know lots are in homes but you do get lots of other animals in homes yes my 2 cats got pregnant wasnt planed it happened and i have homes for the kittens b4 they are even born .

but ive had several cats b4 these 2 and did get them done at 6 months old these are the first ever kittens that ive had born and i took these cats on as adults unwanted pets so bit of different situation ild never just let my cats get up the duff on perpose but im intrested in this debate as tbh when we have a house im intrested in mayb becaome a breeder of pedagree cats.

see ya if all cats were done their would be none left not everyone can affrod to get a pure bread at £300/£400 a kitten so ive been seeing on averts and i know of so many people that wnat kittens but cant find any the shelters can have some very strict rules which mean familys with small kids cant have a cat or kitten and most poepl that want 1 have kids ( thats the problem round hear anyway ) my god im ranting lol

is it not mayb acceptable for people to breed if their look after kittens properly find homes ect unlike the ones ive heard of lately that have just dumped kittens on the vets our local vets has 3 itters dumped on them last week

dont get my rong as soon as my kittens have gone my girls are getting done their are several reasons they wernt done b4 which i have mentioned on different posts but my kittens will go vet cheaked wormed and even microchiped as i know of someone who comes to youre hosue to do this and she will do the lot for me

and i know everyone says cats calling can be stressfull on a cat but womens time of the month can me stressfull dont mean were all going to run out and have it all taken away

i just dont understand in all who nature (cats calling getting pregnant ) can be all bad

please dont slate me just wanting to know all reasons behind it and debate hear everyones oppinions

ive seen a lot of people get the pedigree cats for the label of having pedigree cats and then dump them as they have not read up on how to care for them. recently at the rescue centre i work at they even had a sphinx cat come in!

but personally i have a love for rescue cats, not sure if i would ever get a pedigree because i like a breed and then i read up and they have so many breed defects that it just seems cruel

mine have all been rescued in 1 way or another my first 2 were from the animal welfare centre then these 2 were abandoned in a flat for 2 weeks and i got a message to say if they dont go today they will go to a centre so i took them they were like feral cats had worms fleas under weight so ive got them now into the most loveing cats you could ever want

Go to a good breeder & you won't have these problems, its the backyard breeders who perpetuate hereditary diseases becuase they put profit over the welfare of their animals
Sadly our 'I want it now' society coupled with not doing the proper research means too many people are buying from the wrong kind of breeder

i find them the most rewarding because you have a chance to take away the pain they suffered beforehand and show them a very nice life. two of mine were just left in their owners house while they went away all the time, two were abandoned in a cardboard box and the other one was abandoned on the streets at 6 months old.

i dont think i could personally cope with kittens from my cats, so this is why i got them neutered. but if you have the time and can care for them and make sure that you are not breeding for the wrong reasons such as for money then why not breed them. but for the moment i feel that we should maybe keep the unneutered cats from breeding so that we can get a hold on amount that get abandoned, so that they all have loving homes. but this isnt just for cats it for dogs etc aswell
