Oh !!!!!! you lot, lighten up.

You’re going on like a cat in oesterus is the most barbaric unnatural thing for a cat. How do you think your cats got here???

Or do you believe that the British domestic moggy should become extinct in favour of [STRIKE]inbred[/STRIKE] purebred cats that will eventually go the same way as pedigree dogs with all the inherent faults that leads to.

My cat is very well cared for, isn’t distressed, crying or pulling herself across the floor in pain, apart from having the hots for the dog she’s her usual happy, affectionate self.

I have had cats for 25 years had have let all three of my female cats have one litter before being spayed. So where does ‘getting a womb infection from repeated seasons’ fit into that??

As for there being sooo many cats in rescues, well perhaps where y’all are there are, but here there aren’t. I was on a waiting list for 3 months for a rescue cat before getting my kitten. I am 100% confident that I am able to find homes for one litter of cats amongst friends, family, colleagues etc. What is wrong with cat owners wanting healthy family bred kittens?

All the cats from my previous litters have gone on to lead very happy long lives, Oh, except for the one kitten that my MIL had, the one that was cosseted and never let out, that cat had more problems with a complete lack of natural immune system than all my cats put together.

I’d also like to know where this fictitious diseased, manky, tom is going to appear from. I know virtually all the cats in my rather small residential area, all are well cared for and clean. Or is he in hiding, only coming out when there’s a virgin on the loose?

I get fed up with reading posts that go ‘Oh my cat caught a bird/mouse what am I going to do.’ ‘My cat wants to go out at night, what am I going to do’ I love my cats dearly, they are all vaccinated, insured, fleaded and wormed, but they are allowed to be cats, doing things that cats do naturally, like hunt, go out, and yes have a litter. So shoot me for letting my cats lead a natural cats life.

Wow.

What a snidey attacking thread.

Why accuse someone of being a troll simply because you dont like what they've said?!

Is it any wonder there are only a few select regular posters on this board that all have the same opinions as everyone else?

Well, as you're such an expert, you'll know your comments regarding vibrators are totally inappropriate as felines don't have a human sexual response.

And you'll also know for a fact that some cats go on to be almost permanently in season and cannot even eat for more than a couple of days before going back on it again.

And that whilst you were waiting, not one cat turned up in any shelter in the entire country? Strange, I would have expected that to have made the news.

Ah well, I suppose it proves that only professionals with a whole three queens' worth of experience in a quarter of a century can have a sense of humour.

lol, my tom is horny as well- he keeps dry humping my dressing gown (think its cos its fluffy!) is funny to watch. Only another month-ish to go until he can get snipped

The thing is you are laughing at your cats distress - despite what you might think it is seriously distressed. Cats can get Pyometra from repeated heats - FACT, many people do not know this.

From your mirth at your cats upset we have no way of knowing that you plan on getting her spayed once she has had a litter - which is a VERY outdated notion.

Imagine if every one believed that they would let each female cat have ' Just one litter '.

There is no shortage of cats though is there? - there may not have been a ready supply of kittens through rescue at the time you looked, but at the right time of the year they are over-run with them...

We are in no risk of an imminent danger of a shortage of cats or dogs in this country - if we were, your rationale may make sense, but as it stands, rescues currently battle to find homes for the never ending tide of unwanted cats and kittens that they are continually presented with.

And if each of the kittens was again allowed to breed "just once" and each of THEIR kittens "just once" and so on and so on - how many cats does it add up to over the years?

There is absolutely no need for any cat to have a litter before being spayed. It provides no benefit for the cat. In fact the benefits of spaying before the first heat are well documented. There are MILLIONS of cats in this country needing homes & there is no argument that a cat should be allowed to have a litter. Most shelters are already at their maximum capacity and simply can't afford to take on more unwanted cats. For every kitten from your litter that is adopted one less is adopted from a shelter.
