We did not post about it yet, but a few days after Moy’s neutering, our adopted cat, Pussy was spayed. Spaying is more complex than neutering and-well, more gross because the Animal Doctor had to cut Pussy up. Needless to say, I was not able to witness, much less cover, the entire procedure.

Pussy’s stitches are healing now, I’m glad. Pussy acted funny when she was in heat, rubbing her rear end everywhere, even against Moy-moy’s head! We could not let her out ( of course we do not want her to get pregnant or hit by a car down the road), so I can just imagine how frustrated she was the whole time.

Like you, I believe spaying and neutering is an essential part of responsible pet ownership. It would have been different if these animals were in their natural habitat, in the wild, where the laws of nature work to balance everything. But these animals were placed by humans in an environment where they have to compete for food and space. Yes, we would be depriving them of sex and procreation by neutering or spaying, but its the only humane thing to do given the circumstances.
