Http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/eur...ey/3579344.stm But why are they trying to get cats to mate and produce new litters? I think it's dangerous to stop encouraging people to spay and neuter, even if they do have a shortage of cats. Seems to me they could create a new population explosion in a short time, that way. Why don't they bring in some of the cats that *already exist* and are overcrowding the shelters in other areas, instead? That would solve two problems (the shortage, and the overcrowding), and not run the risk of creating another wave of overpopulation, which they worked so hard to eradicate. Joyce

So they should send them to this island with a cat shortage. Perhaps they'd be willing to pay the import/quarantine fees. Jill
