Morning after pill
I wonder if there are alternatives to neuturing, like birth control for
the females cats. Then the males could get thier groove on without us having to worry about the population. This could work for a pet, I realize a homeless cat would miss too many pills. |

No. -- -Kelly Im just kind of using this as a sounding board, kind of thinking outloud that's all. A pill disguised as a tasty cat treat, could help in reducing the population. If humans can do this, and it does work, I know it can be made for cats. Of course the ongoing cost of these pills would ultimately cost more than surgury, although...for example, I read a post on her, a lady was feeding strays but could not catch all of them. Feeble at worst, but supportive of the goal, to reduce and eliminate homeless sickly cats. Just like pennies, some people scatter them about their homes, in their car consoles...I save them, them little brown fellas ad up. In the same way, enough people across the country, slipping birth control to enough cats, this could help humans catch up with the problem. I don't think this is a stand alone solution, it's just a penny idea. |

No. -- -Kelly Isn't there a birth control pill specifically for cats who are not healthy enough to spay? It seems like I recall an English poster (Patch? or Jeanette?) who had a cat on Ovarid, or something like that. Of course, it's NOT for the general feline population, and not prescribed for any kind of groove-getting. Sherry |

I just didn't want to get into that whole stupid argument again about not spay/neutering so cats can still have sex and bring that nutjob back on here. -- -Kelly |

There are so many these days it's hard to keep track. Sherry |

I could care less if two cats get it on...what do I care. I said "get groove on"...because that is reality ladies... CATS HUMP wether we like or not. It's a fact. That's all. I am not pro cat pleasure pro se. |

OK, well, the most efficient way to keep the population down is to spay and neuter as many cats as possible. I don't think giving a cat birth control is a great idea. There are many other health benefits to spaying besides preventing pregnancies. Namely, prevention of pyometria, and ovarian and breast cancer. -- -Kelly |

I am rich in abstract thought, so I think, let's solve the whole thing in one fell swoop...lol, not going to happen. Im a dreamer. |
