LOL. Yeah, they love Mom. Any other time, it's like "don't chase the kitty cat". Not that the kitty cat doesn't encourage this practice. Best pics I have of Nermal? All of those are with submissive people. Dang cat is the best 'submissive radar' that anyone could ever find. Natasha? She's pack oriented. She's designated Mom (me) as the leader of the pack. She loves MP, too. It's just... Different.

quote: ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr I'm glad I'm kinda "off" cats, these days. Don't get me wrong. It's my fault. I don't believe in mutilating animals so, I will never have another female cat (they tend to spray more prolifically, especially if there are other cats in the house) or a female dog (unmutilated, they leave blood, every month or so). I never had a cat that I allowed out of the house (many didn't want to leave, once I took them off the streets) so, not mutilating them didn't seem like a huge risk of over-population. That said, the last time I had to worry about integrating a dog with a pre-habitating cat, I was (I think) twelve years old and it was really kind of simple. This street dog followed me home (that's not just a story I told my parents. That's how it happened. I was scared to death of dogs, at the time because of the wild pack problem we had in the city.) and the cats in the house just swatted his nose, a couple of times, when they found him offensive. He went after them and I yelled: "NO!" Problem solved. This dog just "connected" with and adopted me for some reason. I'm having a different issue with my current canine: He is *very* "dog aggressive". He was attacked by an older female when he was about three months old. It was unprovoked, instantaneous, and brutal. So, I guess that must factor in, but this dog is obviously part Jack Russel because he insists upon aggressively going after Pit Bulls and Bull Mastiffs. I know it's not a drug thing, because he doesn't get any. I am forced to conclude that this dog is more insane than others of his breed. Michael Spay and neuter go a LONG way to curbing these behaviours. If you consider spay/neutering as mutilating animals, then frankly (unless you're planning to breed them for championship show/breeding purposes) youhave no business keeping these animals. I DO agree that declawing is mutilation. Spay/neuter is simply responsible guardianship.

Have to admit, I am also a supporter of having your pets spayed/neutered. It is a crying shame how many animals are put down every year due to the uncontrolled pet population. Nermal is actually a runt. She, literally is the kitten who never grew up. At best, she looks like a six month old, even though she is twelve. Due to her size, none of the vets she's ever been to have been willing to do it.

When spaying is normal at 6 months??

Female dogs go into heat between 1 and 3 times/yr (depending on the size of the breed). http://www.yourpurebredpuppy.com/health/articles/neutering-male-dog.html Neutering actually has several health benefits for male dogs, including preventing problems with their prostate.

If spaying is considered mutilation then you obviously shouldn't be having sex with any woman on any kind of birth control.

FR: I wouldn't equate spaying a dog with nonsense like docking tails and cropping ears myself, either.

hundreds upon thousands of dogs and cats get put to death every year because people refuse to spay and neuter. That's mutilation.

My cat situation/heirchy is difficult to explain in one paragraph. Ms Karma 5. Dainty and small for a cat and timid and scared of aggressors/ Ms Kali 3 – this one ran into my house barely older than a kitten and I could not find the owner Mr Kasper 2 (son of Kali) Ms Kali chases anything that runs = Ms Karma All three of them do not mind my uncle’s dog and ms kali thinks all dog s love her including the neighbours. So whilst none of them mind dogs I have yet to come up with a solution for Ms Kali terrorizing Ms Karma…if anyone has any ideas let me know Covered litter trays I dislike – you find the cat stands on its own loo/has to loo in pretty much the exact same spot Nice they get on A complicated issue - do I believe cats should be splayed or neutered no. Yet the two females were done, the second after her first litter - the first time she was in season she wasn't a year olde and in 26 years she was only my second female cat and the first i witnessed in season - yes i though she was dying something seriously wrong with her. But Mr Bouncer (a stray) lives on. So I am an animal for having that done to the two, but Mr Kasper has not been done

I was thinking more of some fuckwit buying a dog from a breeder I used to know: the cretin wanted the animal's tail docked and its ears cropped (which she refused point blank to do, though she did shorten its tail) while insisting that he had no intention of having it fixed. The turd probably wanted the poor creature for dogfights. Unless you're putting it out for stud, why else does it need its undercarriage intact while you're carving other bits off it?

The new cat was a few years old, not a kitten any longer, and so she actually fought back, which only pissed the Siamese cat off more. The solution? The Siamese cat eventually died. Problem solved. ...probably not very good advice.
