I captured the Tomcat
There is a tomcat who was fighting my Cinder every time I let her into
our backyard. The group consensus was to trap the tomcat and have him neutered. Here's the story to date. Read the diary. http://www.catster.com/pet_page.php?j=t&i=140147 I'm aware of the cat overpopulation problem but I still feel guilty about this. I feel really bad. If he has an owner, the owner will have 4 days to reclaim him before the neutering. All he has to do is phone the Humane Society. But somehow I feel guilty about this. I don't own the cat and I'm cutting its balls off. |

Get the #@$#$%$ down off of this group! Now! Move it! I'm going to rip your balls off, so you cannot contaminate the rest of the world! I will motivate you, Private John!, if it short-dicks every cannibal on the Congo! |

Nobody actually owns any living thing anyway, and they allow him to roam, so they should have nothing to say about it. Plus, in the bigger picture, what's one little set of meatballs when you can save so many little cats from suffering because they were born unwanted. Not to mention the females he would impregnate. Good work, John. |

I don't own the cat and I'm cutting its balls off. It calls for a different perspective. These animals don't have the level of self-awareness people do. They act on instinct and have no control over where it takes them. Tom cats fight, and the fights cause injury and infection, so toms don't live long as ferals. Queens have a whole different set of problems to contend with. In either case, you do the animal a service by neutering or spaying. Then it is truly free to do what it enjoys most -- lounging and hunting -- without a "species tax" that causes it to expend immense sums of energy and take grave risks for an activity not presently required by the species. Think of it as a charity donation. If you give $100 to an animal group, you'll be lucky if 15% of it goes to animal care after marketing costs. By implication, that means a $100 out-of-pocket expense to care for a particular charity animal is equivalent to a $650 contribution to an organization, or perhaps $450 netted for income taxes. It's a cost-effective way to make a social contribution, which, as Donald Rumsfeld famously quipped, will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. Charlie |

Charlie I like the way you bottom lined it! :^) |
