Desexing your cats
Hi all, just a quick heads-up to people who own or intend to own a cat. There have been a quite a few toms hanging around my property (I don't have a cat), and from the stink they leave it is clear they are not desexed - relatives and friends in other areas report similar. The cats I've seen have collars, so are domesticated not stray - my car stinks, my yard stinks, and one managed to spray inside my front door one morning when I was airing the house out and upstairs. There is also frequent fighting at night. Unless you have valid reasons for leaving them "whole" cats *should* be desexed - if they're not desexed they'll just go out and breed willy nilly as is their instinct. The number of stray or unwanted cats/kittens bought to vets or the SPCA is at an all time high, and continues to grow - sadly most of those are put to death. If that upsets you then please ensure your cat is not contributing to that by desexing it.
