I think it would also be good to work at educating the people around
us. I am havning a hard time with various myths that people have about
altering their cats.

For example, two of my co-workers are a mother and son. They had a
female cat, and they felt they could not afford to get her fixed. So,
she had 4 litters of 4 kittens each, all in less than 2 years. So, we
finally convinced her to get the cat fixed.

Two weeks later, the cat got hit by a car and died. Now, we all know
that was some bad luck with the timing, and if the cat had been kept
indoors, none of that would have happened.

But now, the son, believes that they were wrong to get her spayed. He
thinks that the cat was hit by a car because her reflexes were dulled,
because spayed cats have duller reflxes.


I'm surprised the ghost of Darwin did not rise up and snatch this
boy on the spot.
