The ultimate incentive proposed! Buying a house, a wedding, and staying debt free.

This is an appaulingly dense question I'm sure, but why do people stop their cats having kittens, is there a medical reason for it?

There's a woman down our road who had a cat that kept having kittens. She had about 3 or 4 litters I think. The woman didn't care about the cat or the kittens. We kept finding ridiculously tiny kittens out in the road. We tried to help by taking the kittens back and offering to help her get the cat 'done' but she kept coming out with excuses. We even offered to pay! Eventually, the cat adopted us while she was pregnant with another litter and she got really ill. The woman said we could keep the cat and it cost a fair bit making her better again.

So, to get to the point! She was only a small cat and having lots of litters really took its toll on her.

Good on you for saving your cat from the farmer Cinny! My mate works at a farm and rang the other day to say that the farmer had told him to get rid of a litter of kittens from the barn. Preferred methods were drowning or a hit on the head but he couldn't do it. So we snuck them to a cats home! Poor things. I guess it's how the farmers have been brought up though.

Hope you are feeling more positive soon Dinah, it'll be worth it in the end even though it's hell now

Just discovered another expense. OHs chef trousers are really starting to fall apart. He told me a few weeks ago but said he thought he could get another couple of months wear out of them, but i just took them out the washing machine and they really do need replacing sooner rather than later. They're not cheap either!! Will have to have a hunt try find the cheapest supplier.

My mum used to say that to me but farmers arent that old, and surely they have a sense of right and wrong? Poor little kittens! I'd sure like to put those farmers in a bag and bop them over the head, but I'm pretty sure I'd go to prison.

I second Dinah! Was just reading that thinking 'Whaa?!'

Farmers have a much more 'practical' approach to living things.

It is sad isn't it but i guess they see animals a different way to us. My Grandma lived on a farm as a child and told me she had a pet pig called Primrose and one day she woke up and her Dad had taken it off to market. Think I would have been very upset.

Oh that's awful Wendz, but I love the idea of a pig called Primrose!!
