Pals, that’s my serious face : tomorrow, it’s World Spay Day. And it’s some serious stuff.
Let’s say that a couple of cats, then their descendants, has two litters of 2 or 3 alive kittens every year. Here is how the feline population is quickly going to increase within 9 years :
By spaying/neutering your cat, you reduce the number of abandoned animals, you avoid unwanted behavior as urinary marking, you save expenses at the veterinarian (tomcats often fight and can be hurt), and you increase the good health of your cat by reducing the risk of certain cancers as the cancer of testicles or uterine cancer.
Spread the word, speak about it !
We are spayed and neutered, what about you ?
I hope a lot of peeps are good cat people and they use the offers of the vet clinic… and I wish I could grab some of the inmates of our village to read your post to them… maybe then they act before unwanted litter happen…
I wuz neutered by my rescue.
We are spayed and neutered too.
WE wish more humans would be responsible with their cats too.

I was spayed at 5 months.
I am proud to be a spayed kitty! My life is too busy for kittens anyhow. Kind of like my human, MOL!
OMG – if those statistics don’t scare you into spaying and neutering your pet, nothing will. That is downright scary!

WOW! I had no idea the impact was so huge! I’ve spayed/neutered my cats without a second thought. Especially for females, it really cuts down on the female-specific cancer risks.
This is an important holiday to focus on and we’ve blogged about it since 2011. We’re all spay/neutered of course 🙂
Such an important thing to do! We have spayed/neutered 14 of our feral friends.
Paws up ! Your dad does a wonderful job ! Purrs
They multiply more than rabbits. Spay/neuter is very important.
Spay/neuter is super important and it’s important that people understand what one or two cats can become without it.

Amen !
I got snipped when I was a kitten. So never knew about being a father cat.
Spaying is so important! There are so many ferals in our neighborhood and it makes us so sad. We wish we could spay or neuter them all. (That’s a great graphic.)
Whoa! That’s a ton of kittens. Spay/neiter is very important to keep the stray cat population down and keep your cat healthy.
Totally agree! Scary stats there!!
Spay and neuter is so important! Manna is already spayed and Dexter is soon to be neutered. 🙂 That is one of our big goals for March. Thank you for getting the word out there.
Mudpie was spayed just before she came home with me!
Yep, we’ve both had a little nip and tuck. MOL Big hugs
Luv ya’

Very important information that is needed everywhere! There are too many homeless pets and that is sad.
Well done friends
