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.

No, it's not okay, in my book.

Well I guess you can count me an extremist too. There's no reason in this day
and age with the overpopulation the way it is for a person to breed their
animal.

No, it is not a good idea.

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

No, it is not OK.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray

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.
