My new kitten will be female. She is only 6 weeks old and two people have already asked me if I'll be letting her have a litter!

What amazed me was the responses I got when I said no.
1 - Why not, it costs £100 to buy a moggy, look at the money you could make!!
2 - "It's people like you who have caused a huge shortage of kittens"

Can you believe it.

Oh I can quite believe it

There are still so many ignorant people out there who think it is 'inhumane' to spey a female cat before she has kittens

RSPCA are too quick to put kittens and cats down, which is one of the reasons I have no time for them Jane. In our branch this year we have only had to put 3 cats to sleep, due to extreme illness, not one kitten has been pts.

Yes, thats why my new kittens mum has had 4 litters and she's only 4 years old. Thank goodness my friends mum took her in and persuaded her owner to give her up.

Luckily now she has been speyed and local CP will find her a new home.

CM, those responses boggle the mind! How very very sad .....

Just. I was speechless (well almost). I mean, apart from my first cat and the tiny kitten he brought home all my other cats have been rescues of one sort of another - and, I have never had to look very hard for them. In fact when I think about it most have found me. So how can people possibly think there is a shortage or just think about how much money can be made.

Sometimes I just get so disapointed in people
