Dear George,
I have been rescued few days ago and my new
humans instead of taking me to my forever home they took me to a place called
“clinic” where I was given a shot and there I went dreaming. When I woke up I
was wearing this terrible thing around my head (as you can see in the photo)
and didn’t understand why. I meowed them asking what’s going on? What happened
to me? Are they going to harm me? They laughed and said “No, baby, we will
never harm you! We adopted you because we love you so much”.
Then, they went on
saying that “this is snip month” and it’s only going to benefit me! Well, as
much as their assurance is comforting to some degree …I feel I’m missing some
“parts” of me now. Quite perplexing as I still don’t see how all this is going
to benefit me?
If March is “the snip month” ....do the
human males get snipped as well? Is this snipping
thing going to benefit them too? Uh!
George, I’m too young to understand all this!
Can you explain it to me, please?
Very curious,
Misha
Dear Misha,
The same thing happened to me. I lead a celibate life of my own choice due to surgical alteration at an early age. It's a calm life without fights (with the risk of catching FIV), without roaming in search of sex (with the risk of a traffic accident) without urine spraying (which keeps my human happy). Even feral cats are healthier after neutering and spaying.
But one thing troubles me. If we are happier after this, why don't humans practice it worldwide on themselves? Surely their own lives would benefit. Human overpopulation would fall, the natural world would flourish better with fewer humans. Men would get into fewer fights and women would not be exhausted or even killed by repeated child bearing. We need a worldwide campaign to neuter and spay humans!
They call us selfish but if you want to find a selfish species you only have to look at Homo so-called sapiens. They blame us for killing wildlife, but who has been slaughtering elephants, big cats, and ruining the habitat for wildlife. Not us.
Yours indignantly
George.

Misha, we all get snipped when we are adopted. I know a lady she took a whole colony of stray cats to be neutered and spayed. It might not necessary benefit us directly but definitely ends unnecessary suffering for our eventual off springs!Cheer-up buddy!

We had to have the back of our necks done this morning so we don't get worms.
ReplyDeleteGeorge, you have all the right reasons to be mad at humans!
