Discover How Your Cats Mating Can Cost You Money - II
One of the natural things that come along with Gert’s cycle
is the natural instinct for cats mating. You may well open your
front door to leave for work and she will shoot out that front
door like a bullet. If you haven’t noticed every feral cat,
neighbors cat and even “Ol” Roscoe, the cat from across town,
has been waiting on her “Queenship” to get out the door.
Chances are all those male cats have been hanging around
several days. Go take a look at your lawn and look at all the
burn spots from their urine and feces. You know cats like to
urinate and defecate in the same place or as near to it as they
can get. Now not only do you have a pregnant cat on your hands,
but a ruined lawn or flower beds. Once again you can be looking
at a major expense getting your lawn back into pristine
condition.
It is possible, even though unlikely, that the problem of so
many cats invading one neighborhood could affect the actual
real estate value of your home or your neighbors; if they hang
around long enough. “Well thanks for the added problem.” You
say. “What’s the solution?” You ask.
The most obvious and perhaps the cheapest way would be to
get rid of Gert. But most cat lovers would rather get rid of
their hubby before they give up their beloved feline. And you
fall in that category, don’t you? So here’s the
alternative.
If you are against spaying your beautiful Gert, check with
her vet about going on chemical birth control. The vet will
know what’s available and if she is a good candidate for
“chemical birth control”. Your vet may also suggest having her
tubes tied as another alternative to spaying.
There is one last thought you need to think about before you
go get Gert fixed. If you don’t you are going to have a
houseful of kittens. Yes, they are beautiful and very easy to
fall in love with. But, you talk about another expense. It’s
not just food, but increased damage to the house and the very
real possibility of increased vet bills.
Unfortunately, the majority of humane societies and other
pet organizations won’t take them off your hand unless you pay
for them being fixed. You also know it wouldn’t be right to
dump them on the street and let them fend for themselves. The
cheapest and easiest way out of this would have been if you had
had Gert fixed to start off with.
But since you didn’t ask your vet or local pet clinic for a
substantial discount on the cost of getting all the kittens
fixed at once. You will have contributed to the well being of
the new kittens and you can feel good about helping to control
the pet population. Oh yes! There is one other alternative, you
file a paternity suit against Gerts suitor Roscoe.
Cats mating should be the least of your problems in today’s
complicated world, but since you love Gert it is part of your
complicated world. Having her spayed is still one of the
cheapest and safest ways to cut your losses caused by cats
mating.
By the way Roscoe was grinning ear to ear when he left your
yard.
