I think the badboycat is gone
Phew. Boyfie seems safe meatloafing on his freezer now.
He just loves the freezer so he has a nice quilt on top of it. but a bad tomcat came in and attacked him, which is not nice since he was minding his own business in his own house. Cost me 50 quid at the vet. I think that cat was passing through on the way to looking for girls, for weeks. So then he is hungry and wants to find food in my house. Boyfie says No. and then there is a fight. I just wish that everyone would neuter boys, they are a perfect nuisance if you don't. |

It's not just boycats who need to be neutered. Female should be spayed. I don't understand the reluctance in *any* country to do so. Jill |

Jill Most people spay females here because they don't want to get kittens and they mainly do the boys too. But sometime they don't want to pay for the boys to be done. And then there are a nuisance. Coming into my house and fighting my boy who was meatloafing on his beloved freezer in his own house and was probably asleep at the time, it's not acceptable.. |

Coming into my house and fighting my boy who was meatloafing on his beloved freezer in his own house and was probably asleep at the time, it's not acceptable.. I understand that, Tweed. What I don't understand is the attitude of not getting both males and females desexed. As has been pointed out, if money is an issue there are programs that will assist with the cost if necessary. Intact males can be aggressive and very territorial. I don't have to tell you. Not only that, they spray to mark territory. I'm sure that testosterone urine smell cannot be pleasant. Granted, I have not encountered it myself but I've certainly read about it over the years. I'm very grateful whoever abandoned Persia had the common sense to have her spayed before they dumped her into my loving lap. Jill |

The old tomcat I had a child was too old to be neutered when we found him starving lying almost at death's door under our hedge. The vet said the anaesthetic would be too dangerous for him, although they are much safer now. I hate to think how long or how far he must have wandered with his tattered ears and abcesses from fighting. He absolutely stank for the whole time we had him, his whole body smelt of strong tomcat urine. He wasn't housetrained and was a grump. I was a soft-hearted child who loved animals and insisted on keeping him. My mother wasn't so keen especially after he pooed in my shoe..but I had a rapport with him, he used to wait outside the door for me to come home from school and I'd pick him up and carry him inside, and he'd purr like mad. I ignored his smell. After the shoe incident which was the second incident that happened when I kept him in overnight, he had to pushed outside at bedtime. The first time I told my mother it would be a good idea to keep him in at night she agreed. He removed the grill from under the fridge (it was kind of fitted in) crawled into the cavity wall and pooed in there. We couldn't remove the poo so you all can imagine the smell for weeks. I persuaded my mother to give him another chance but he blew it by pooing in one of my school shoes that my mother had just bought the very next time he was inside overnight. Boyfie wasn't neutered when he arrived here and it took months before I could get him tame enough to take him for the snip but he spent time in the house before that and never once sprayed I'm very grateful whoever abandoned Persia had the common sense to have her spayed before they dumped her into my loving lap. But not the common sense to not have her declawed :-( KFC had also been spayed when she moved in phew Tweed |

But then again these same people most likely abandoned Persia which doesn't exactly spell "common sense", does it? She was such a loving sweet cat, I simply cannot imagine someone just left her behind like that. Or if she wandered off, didn't at least notify the area vets and shelters. I really tried to find these people. Oh well, their loss was my gain. Jill KFC had also been spayed when she moved in phew Tweed |

Purrs that he has gone away for ever so that Boyfie can feel safe again. I hope so but I'm not holding my breath. He is on his rounds of the countryside looking for girls and is prepared to be away for weeks to do so. I think he was hungry and tried my house that seemed to have a door open. Unfortunately Boyfie was there and objected vehemently. Twice. ATM he seems to have wandered on. but his hormones are driving him to be such a nuisance and his owners should be ashamed that my lovely boy got beaten up by their thug because they couldn't bother to pay to get him snipped. As Jill says, you can get help with desexing in the USA, and here too. So no excuse, really. If that cat comes again and attacks Boyfie in his own home, it's time for a trap and if I catch him then he'll get snipped whoever he belongs to. It's almost worse for un-neutered boys than girls. Girls have kittens but boys wander around getting killed on the road, getting lost and fighting. Tweed -- Judith Latham Stourbridge, West Midlands. UK. |

America is the only place that it can be done. My vets would be struck off if they did it except for medical reasons. And it's time for American vets to refuse to do it as a routine thing along with spaying. It's disgusting. Cats have claws and if that cannot be coped with, then don't have one. |
