No, I am not a cat breeder, I'm more into horses in that respect.Originally Posted by WellingtonCats
Well, I've been thinking about this post over night and still don't really know exactly what to say - but IMO you can't breed cats UNLESS you have money, what if the cat hadn't been acidentally desexed etc etc and they found out he had some condition or something, then of course the cat would need to be replaced - you can't breed cats if you are not going to be able top pay for all these little "extras" that pop up. Of course I'm not condoning this desexing situation, it is disgusting!
RosieToes, do you breed cats?
While you do need a certain amount of money to be a cat breeder, this point is quite moot in this situation; the original post was regarding the people's senseless act of neutering the cat... if the cat had become sterile on its own, or had some sort of disease, yes it would be unfortunate, but that is "the luck of the draw." This whole thing was about the wrongful acts of someone who was trying to make a point without taking the cat's overall well-being and the feelings of the owners into consideration. Had their cat required any emergency vet bills, they would be able to pay for them. But they can't afford to go out and get another cat right away...they spent a lot of time and ernergy getting this particular kitten, and he was the one they wanted to be their stud. The tragedy about this whole issue is not so much the fact that he can no longer be a stud, because yes, that could have happenned on its own, but rather that it was through the negligence and lack of consideration of another person that brought it around.
