This Really Chaps My Hide
The neighbors that live across the cul-de-sac from us have two teen
age kids. The parents are going through a divorce, so 'mom' lets each kid bring home a kitten. Kiko is about 6 months old, and really starting to show his manhood. Jinx is a gorgeous little black sh who is about 3 or 4 months old. I went calling this morning to say hi and pet the cats. I mentioned (again) that they really need to look into spaying and neutering the pooties a.s.a.p. The reply I got was "Well, we really can't afford that". I swear to God......some people really make me pro-nuclear. Sorry for ranting. -bonbon |

That these neighbors who 'can't afford' to spay and neuter these two
beautiful little cats have a brand new pick-up truck sitting in their driveway. GAK. -(disgusted) bonbon |

If I understood you correctly one kitty's a boy and the other a girl, right?//// Let the kids experience the "Miracle of birth" because every child should, then dump all the cats & kittens at the high-kill shelter where they levae them under the illusion that they'll "get loving homes" because they "just can't cope with those damn cats" any more and they've "done the best they can" and it's "not their fault". No, I'm neither cynical or bitter. ;o) Good luck and purrs for making them see sense and for them to get those babas Speutered. Helen M |

This Really Chaps My Hide
I got a similar reply from a friend down the street,they had just gotten a
Boxer pup last month,I was told they can't afford to "fix" him,well,that night I saw them at the store buying their 9 y.o couch potato,chubby spoiled ROTTEN (emphasis on rotten,he's rude) son one of those Wii things. Also ,this is about the 5th different dog they've had in a year,they get rid of them because they say they bite the boy,or scratch his face ( they've done the same thing with kitties !!!!!!!!! ) , well I found out why ! when he's at my house playing with my son,he gets in our little dog's face & starts wiggling her head & blowing on her face,talking to her. So far she has'nt done anything,she's VERY good natured. "bonbon" wrote in message ... The neighbors that live across the cul-de-sac from us have two teen age kids.

If I understood you correctly one kitty's a boy and the other a girl, right? That's correct. I'm thinking the answer is to just cat nap the babies, take them down the street to our vet and have them spayed/neutered ourselves. Of course, I'll have to do it on the sly.....it wouldn't be the first time I footed the bill to have neighbor cats altered. Of course there is always the pesky inconvenience of having to explain to the DH where that extra money disappeared to. But hey.....we're in love, and I have my ways of getting around that sort of trouble g -bonbon |

Is there a low-cost spay/neuter program near you? Yes, there is a low-cost program here, but only certain times of the month, and at certain locations. Naturally, the 'clinic's on wheels' always seem to happen way over on the other side of Houston and by the time the neighbor sees fit to go the distance to get these guys taken care of, I'll already of secretly had them into our vet down the street and foot the bill myself to get them ship shape. -bonbon |

You could find yourself in a world of hurt if you cat-nap them and have an unauthorized medical procedure performed on them without the consent of the "owners". Jill |
