The two big issues in cat welfare are unwanted breeding and the terrible spread of viral diseases - like cat flu. Vaccinate! Just two initial shots, followed by an annual top-up will protect your cat against a basketful of killer diseases, including cat flu ( which would be better named "cat rot" according to vet Rosa Keily) and the deadly leukaemia. So give your cat the 'needle' and a long and healthy life. Neuter! Whether domesticated or feral (wild), cats breed at an astonishing rate. Constant 'kin breeding' results in weak and sickly cats starving and dying everywhere. The solution is simple - NEUTER. Castrated males and
spayed females wander less, avoid fight injuries and infections, hunt
efficiently and have only themselves to support. Spayed females don't attract
tom cats who spray, fight and screech in your back garden at 3am! |
