Our two female cats each had a litter of kittens and were then neutered. All of the kittens (6 in total) had loving homes to go to. All were neutered. I believe that we were responsible owners. We kept two of the kittens ourselves, one went to a friend and died aged 15. Two went to my and my husband's mothers and we inherited them both back when our mothers died. The last went to a work colleague who moved away - that is the only one we haven't been able to follow throughout its life. Sadly, all are now gone except one. The mothers lived to be 15 and 16 years old, one of the kittens we kept made it to 18, two more died at 19. Christina

Neither of my 2 dogs have been neutered but I wouldn't say that makes me an irresponsible pet owner. They are never let out to roam the streets - I know where they are every second of every day. So I see no need to subject them to unnecessary operations.

Have you had your pet spayed or neutered? In just 7 years, one unspayed cat and her offspring can produce over 450,000 cats! (average litter of 3, twice a year) In 7 years, one dog and her offspring can produce over 4,000 dogs! (average litter of 4, once a year). Deb
