Well, especially if they are more than three years old as in my friend's case, "OUT-Und-Zee!"
There are simply too many people not spaying or neutering their pets and too many pets who cannot find homes. Alright. I love my cats even though I threaten my former "Death Row Inmates" cats because I have to have the upper hand. Also, in my house I STILL believe in "Speicies' Rank." That is if PEOPLE come to visit me and they have allergies to cats, CATS must go. If people are not comfortable with cats, CATS must go. If people like cats but cats are on human furniture, CATS must go. They would be placed somewhere else in the home. Even so, they are not disposable as many are who are brought to shelters. For dogs, it's even harder to place them. Bottom line please neuter your pets or better yet, do not adopt an animal who you do not have the time or energy to train or maintain.
