POLL - Is it OK to breed your cat?
I have been labeled an extremist and a lunatic because I do not think it is
OK for someone to breed their cat. I'm wondering who else feels this way. BTW - this is not a breeder, it's just someone with a regular old moggy who wants kittens that are just as sweet and special as their cat. -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net "Wake up, and smell the cat food" -TMBG |

I echo Lauren's comments. There are plenty of sweet and loving cats
already available; why add to a pet overpopulation problem? |

BTW - this is not a breeder, it's just someone with a regular old moggy who wants kittens that are just as sweet and special as their cat. As long as you are committed to keeping and caring for the kittens should you not be able to find suitable homes for them, then, yes, I would say it is OK. I'd have serious, serious doubts about someone who allowed their cat to have more than one litter this way, however. And I don't think it's OK if you're not prepared to provide a caring home for the kittens if you can't find others who will adopt them. |

It can be tempting, when your pet is so great. But it IS wrong to
bring more cats into this world. Even if you find them all happy homes, they may end up having one or two litters...before you know it you a responsible for the beginning of lots of cats. On the other hand, a litter of kittens is such a joy! Ask your friend to call a few rescue groups, they always need foster homes for pregnant kitties. She can make herself available to foster, thus enjoying the babies while being responsible. P.S. Nice to meet you all, I'm new here!-Becky |
