 RS>      Here here.  I was wondering when people would stop saying "Aww, m
 RS> kittens, how cute!" and give Ivy the earful she so desperately deserve
 RS> know it has been stated before, but it will be repeated until people f
 RS> clue in.  It's not a matter of opinion that there is a population prob
 RS> and it's not a matter of opinion that thousands of cats are put down e
 RS> year.
 CS> Robin, I understad you are upset, but lets be real for a moment. Ivy
 CS> allows a cat to have 1 litter, and finds homes for all the kittens. 
 CS> It isnt our job to abuse her in the echo.  Unlike many who just
 CS> abandon the kittens, she finds them homes. She is a responsible cat
 CS> owner. 
 CS> It's the *irresponsible* ones you need to be angry at, not Ivy.
    When we got our kitty we decided to have him neutered so that he
    don't decide to take off on us.  My other neighbor has two female
    cats who are always having 2 to 3 litters a year which I think is
    disgusting because she don't take proper care of them and they
    don't see the vet at all.  "Cat lovers" like that gives us a bad
    name.
... Fur is a renewable resource, as anyone who grooms a cat knows.
