There are a lot of tom owners like that Moli, they can't have kittens so why bother getting it neutered If only they could see what a problem they are causing

Re: Irresponsible breeding article.


And not only the siring of kittens and fighting, but the smell of an unneutered tom! You'd think that alone would give them a second thought....

Re: Irresponsible breeding article.


Well written Dawn.

I, for one, would never ever want to go through the anguish I did when Lily fell pregnant by that intruder and we found out he had FeLV. Such an awful wait for Lily's test results. Since then, I have had her tested on 4 separate occassions to make extra sure - and all results have been negative - thank goodness.

I don't know why anyone would WANT to put themselves through that.

(BTW - Red was castrated yesterday )

Re: Irresponsible breeding article.


My kids father's partner had an unneutered tom. They didnt care, and in the end he died from being knocked down twice in a few months - the other problem is that unneutered toms wander looking for females so that puts them in danger.
