You show me soneone who spends $15,000 on a couch and i'll show you someone who got taken to the cleaners. If you're spending $15,000 on a couch you need your head examined. |

Ivor So why not give the cat a vasectomy and thereby preserve the horomonal conditions bestowed by sweet Mother Nature? Charlie Probably because he'd still behave like an un-neutered male - mating (even thought he would be shooting blanks) and fighting. He'd have the opportunity because an un-neutered male would be much more difficult to keep in or around ones home as he'd be quite inclined to wander off looking for some 'action'. This would also put him at risk of meeting up with what my vet told me is 25% of the stray population that is testing positive for feline AIDS and/or Leukemia. From the point of actually living with him the stench from the box would be a real joy and he'd be a bit of a lousy neighbor because of his inclination to 'mark' the neighbors house, porch and/or bushes while marking his territory. If his mommy and daddy displease him or try bringing in another cat he's likely to mark every doorway in the house while marking that territory too. A un-spayed female wouldn't be any more of a picnic to live with. Although she probably wouldn't do much marking the howling and yowling while rubbing up against anything that doesn't move away fast enough could be a bit of a distraction. Getting out of the house without little Fluffy following to see if she could 'score' could be challenging. Her chances of developing breast cancer is increased as are the possibility of hefty vet bills when she runs into 'female' troubles. Both would have shorter lives because I don't think sweet Mother Nature had a 15 - 20 year life span in mind. W |

Who is this ass? Any thinking person would have figured out that I said
spaying/neutering is ok but not declawing by claiming it too is good for a cat's health. -- Cat Galaxy: All Cats!

Houston Humane Society is advertising front paw declawing!!
"MaryL" -OUT-THE-LITTER wrote in message ... This is disgusting! I wrote a few days ago to defend some of the HSUS practices, but this is absolutely revolting. Read what the Houston Humane Society (note: Houston, not the national HSUS) is advertising as a "Valentine's Day special" for cats (free neutering accompanied by a *reduced rate for front paw declawing*): "We will be neutering 300 male cats only (NO FEMALES) that day. There will be no general public surgery-other than the male cats. We will be declawing only a small amount of male cats for the normal price of $60 (front paws only)." The flyer also says, "Show your cat you love him on Valentine's Day by helping him live a longer, healthier life." In other words, they are really saying: show your cat you love him by mutilating his front feet. I'm against declawing, too. But you have grossly misrepresented the ad. The ad says nothing about a reduced rate for declawing. The "Valentine's Day" special is for neutering. |
