I support the nurting/spaying of mixed breed cats, heck I've saved some, had
the operation done and found them good loving homes. Right now I've got 3
males awaiting for the funds to build up to have it done. But at the same
time I am a breeder of pure breed cats, I've bred and shown Japanese
Bobtails, and the ones that I sell to people go with agreements to have them
fixed too and the over all number has not been great as I only use one queen
once every 18 months. They also go with CFA papers too. Have you ever been
to a cat show? I'd guess not, because then you would know and might even
understand more about the world of the true cat breeders, and I'm not
talking about the people who let strays hang around or don't care for their
cats.

One of the ones I have awaiting their vist to the vets is an old boy, he was
around this trailer park for at lest 5 years after being left behind by
someone who got kicked out. He more or less rules the area, but other males
have come in or grown up here and his age was not helping. So after many
trys and as many months, this last winter I was able to trap him. He now
lives in my small side bedroom after cutting off all his matted fur and
healing the old battle scars & such. He'll now live out his life inside and
being cared for.

. I'm pretty disgusted that people still have cats giving
birth to kittens.

Why? If cats were artificially prevented from all breeding, they
would die out. Surely, to a Buddhist like yourself, all life forms are
worthy of existence and their own spiritual karma?

Don't throw that shit in my face, it won't fly. There are of BILLIONS
with a B stay and ferrel cats all over the world, starving to death,
suffering unimaginable diseases. Preventing cats from reproducing
would cut way down on the amazing suffering which goes on

I agree and support that neutering feral populations of starving
diseased cats reduces suffering. However, that does not mean that all
pet cats have to be prevented from breeding. If someone is prepared to
be responsible for their kittens' lifetime feeding and health, there is
no reason at all why you should censure that choice.

I am not throwing your religious beliefs in your face, Victoria, but
you frequently cite them here as back-up for some sanctimonious snipe
at someone else, choosing to put them in the public domain for our
consideration. So when you lapse from grace, I'm afraid it attracts
some amusement. Rather like watching a fat lady lumbering round in
circles shrieking "look at me, I'm a very slim and graceful ballet
dancer you clodhoppers, oh yes I am so I am"..just as she falls flat on
her arse in a cowpat, making shit fly.
