From: itter (MacCandace)
Me, too. I don't have a maternal instinct in my body (toward humans, that is). People bring their babies and grandbabies in to work and everyone stands around begging to hold them and play with them. I'm never in that group. I can't honestly say I enjoy children at all. I think it's been 20 years or so since I held a baby and that's because someone thrust it at me. But a baby kitty, that's a different story... I know, LOL. A baby kitty is hard to resist ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecatjournal.com/articles/claws.htm |

From: "Mary"
"PawsForThought" wrote You've experienced the same feelings and decisions as I have, Mary. I honestly can say I never had the drive to reproduce. Must have just passed me by Me too. Also, give the percentages of births that are unplanned (certainly 80 per cent or more) I would say that we have mastered the concept of birth control a bit better than many. The vast majority of children are the result of a lack of self control or birth control. The blessed accident then shapes the life (and severely limits the choices) of the mother and sometimes the father. Hell of a way to fulfilment. Good point. I know a young woman right now in fact who has just had a baby due to an unplanned pregnancy. Her unhappiness is very apparent. I feel sorry for the baby.

(certainly 80 per cent or more) I would say that we have mastered the concept of birth control a bit better than many. The vast majority of children are the result of a lack of self control or birth control. The blessed accident then shapes the life (and severely limits the choices) of the mother and sometimes the father. Hell of a way to fulfilment. Ditto here. And unfortunately I have at least 10 more good childbearing years ahead. LOL I really can't see myself having kids. I'd probably lock them up in a closet or something then get tossed in jail! LOL I hear nothing but complaints about friend's children. They're sick. They're in jail. The police brought them home. They hurt themselves snowboarding. Etc. etc. I just don't see the rewards anywhere. But kitties are another thing. Now they are worth it even if they get sick and don't behave on occasion. ~Melanie |

You may not realize it, but your blatant stupidity has prompted you to QUESTION why ***my*** cat had kittens and why ***my*** family is enjoying it - why ***my*** family is enjoying LIFE. Here are some questions for self-righteous animal mutilators like you: Why didn't your parents snip your balls or cut up your uterus when they brought YOU home? Oh, you ARE on birth control, aren't you? Surely you aren't contributing to the dangerous population of HUMANS by continuing to BREED, ARE YOU? Don't you CARE? Don't you KNOW that humans are breeding out of control?? Why aren't you doing YOUR part? The adoption centers for children are OVERFLOWING. Fortunately, they aren't put to death - they're just thrown out into society into the welfare system, so we ironically end up taking care of them anyway. ****ing hypocrites. This is MY house and you want to know what I do to MY cats for YOUR egotistical satisfaction? I hope that if you ever get pregnant, the first question out of everyone's mouth is "Why on EARTH aren't you on birth control!!" There you go. Tell it like it is. I've been telling these fools in here for YEARS that spaying and neutering is a barbaric practice done to suite the owner's convenience. These so-called 'pet lovers' visit such unspeakable atrocities upon their pets and then have the nerve to stand on the rooftop and shout that they love and care for their pet. The reality is far different. I wonder how man female cats have been afflicted with terrible clinical depression and other mood disorders simply because their owner decided that the 'stylish' thing to do would be to have her ovaries cut out...? Monsters. Unspeakable monsters. None of you who made this a reality for your cats have any business taking care of anything, much less something as helpless and dependent as a pet. They can't complain! IBen Getiner |
